World Wide Webb

June 11, 2008 at 1:58 pm

Another installment in our regular check-in of the media’s fast and furious coverage of Vice President Jim Webb.

David Mark in Politico:

“Barack Obama’s vice presidential vetting team will undoubtedly run across some quirky and potentially troublesome issues as it goes about the business of scouring the backgrounds of possible running mates. But it’s unlikely they’ll find one so curious as Virginia Democratic Sen. Jim Webb’s affinity for the cause of the Confederacy.”

Tim Noah in Slate (via Instapundit):

… Webb’s personal history has demonstrated time and again that he can’t play well with the other children. A volcanic temperament is endurable in a novelist or an opera singer. It is not endurable at the bottom of a national ticket. Nominating Webb isn’t worth the risk that he’ll alienate important constituencies, embarrass Obama, or break with him outright. …

From Soft Money To Soft Porn

May 24, 2008 at 9:32 pm

In her “Shenanigans” column in Politico, Anne Schroeder Mullins has this item about a spotting of Hillary Clinton booster Terry McAuliffe at the Palm:

Some guy approaches the table and Terry screams out “Where’s my movie?” to which the man produces a DVD and hands it to Terry. Terry then says at the top of his lungs: “No one does porn like me.” To which the guy replies “well, Terry, you have to be at least 6 inches to be in my movies.” …

So we asked McAuliffe about his lunch. He tells us that its “almost correct.” (Granted we didn’t mention the phone call to him.) He says he took his finance staff out for lunch “to celebrate the $22 million month” they had and that guy from point #2 above was Joey Pants! (Actor.) So he came over, Terry says, and gave him a DVD his of his new movie. Terry said “I thanked him and asked when I was going to be in a movie. Mac Cummings, our internet director said the only movie I could get would be a porn movie and my response was, ‘I would be great in a porn movie….as long as I kept my clothes on.’ Everyone roared.”

Sp what would Terry McAuliffe’s porn movie DVD cover look like?  Here’s what we’re supposing…

As Smokey Robinson sang, “If there’s a smile on my face, it’s only there trying to fool the public.  But when it comes down to fooling you, now honey that’s quite a different subject.”

There was Richard Daley …

And then there’s Bruce Springsteen…:

Dear Friends and Fans:

LIke most of you, I’ve been following the campaign and I have now seen and heard enough to know where I stand. Senator Obama, in my view, is head and shoulders above the rest.

He has the depth, the reflectiveness, and the resilience to be our next President. He speaks to the America I’ve envisioned in my music for the past 35 years, a generous nation with a citizenry willing to tackle nuanced and complex problems, a country that’s interested in its collective destiny and in the potential of its gathered spirit. A place where “…nobody crowds you, and nobody goes it alone.”

At the moment, critics have tried to diminish Senator Obama through the exaggeration of certain of his comments and relationships. While these matters are worthy of some discussion, they have been ripped out of the context and fabric of the man’s life and vision, so well described in his excellent book, Dreams of My Father, often in order to distract us from discussing the real issues: war and peace, the fight for economic and racial justice, reaffirming our Constitution, and the protection and enhancement of our environment.

After the terrible damage done over the past eight years, a great American reclamation project needs to be undertaken. I believe that Senator Obama is the best candidate to lead that project and to lead us into the 21st Century with a renewed sense of moral purpose and of ourselves as Americans.

Over here on E Street, we’re proud to support Obama for President.

But neither boss holds a candle to Tim Russert….
