Webb: I wanted to Slug the commander in Chief"

Sorry that I didn't include a subject heading the first time. 
This is such a coincidence. Saw this headline in the Huffpo, 
just too relevant to AtD, if ya ask me.

"At a private reception held at the White House with newly 
elected lawmakers shortly after the election, Bush asked 
Webb how his son, a Marine lance corporal serving in
 Iraq, was doing.

Webb responded that he really wanted to see his son brought
 back home, said a person who heard about the exchange 
from Webb. 
“I didn’t ask you that, I asked how he’s doing,” Bush retorted, 
according to the source.

Webb confessed that he was so angered by this that he was tempted 
to slug the commander-in-chief, reported the source, but of course didn’t. 
It’s safe to say, however, that Bush and Webb won’t be taking any 
overseas trips together anytime soon.

“Jim did have a conversation with Bush at that dinner,” said Webb’s 
spokeswoman Kristian Denny Todd. “Basically, he asked about Jim’s 
son, Jim expressed the fact that he wanted to have him home.” 
Todd did not want to escalate matters by commenting on Bush’s 
response, saying, “It was a private conversation.”

A White House spokeswoman declined to give Bush’s version of the conversation."
