Or not.
Sen. Jim Webb on Tuesday called the arrest of a top aide on weapons charges "extremely unfortunate" after the aide was stopped as he brought the senator's loaded pistol into a Senate office building.
[…]
Webb declined to comment on details of Thompson's case but called him "a longtime friend" and "a fine individual."
"He has worked for me since the beginning of the campaign last year," he said. "I have a tremendous amount of respect for him. I think this is one of those very unfortunate situations where, completely inadvertently, he took the weapon into the Senate yesterday."
Webb, who has a concealed handgun permit in Virginia, said he handed his gun off to aides before getting on a plane Friday to New Orleans, Louisiana. He said he did not give Thompson the weapon directly and was unsure how it ended up with him.
That is one ringing defense from "born fighting" (his campaign slogan as he wore his son's combat boots) Jim Webb.
I never expected much from this blowhard, but this fits right in with Jim Webb's use of George Allen's Macaca comment. Jim Webb is a sissy and he left his nads in Viet Nam.
