Senator-elect Jim Webb is featured in the New York Times Magazine today and in the accompanying picture he is almost—but not quite—smiling! Check out Questions for James Webb.Highlights:
In response to a question about his now famous exchange with George Bush at the White House: “I think what I said was appropriate.”
Why did you switch parties: “A lot of people have left the Republican Party because they went over there on national-security issues and were never comfortable on other issues—social issues or issues of economic fairness—and now are beginning to see that the Democrats can have a stronger position on foreign policy.”
Do you have a timetable for getting out of Iraq: “I have a totally different view of timetables than most people. What we need before we start withdrawing large numbers of troops is some sort of a diplomatic environment in which we can decide how withdraw our troops.”
It seems to me that Jim Webb is going to be a terrific Senator.
