Politicians - Jim Webb of Virginia
How in the world do we really know who to believe?...
In the Washington Times, Milton R. Copulos writes:
"There's a lot to admire about Jim Webb. He's a bonafide war hero who parlayed his wartime experiences into a successful career as a novelist and movie producer that made him millions. He even managed to wrangle a load of Republican political appointments to enhance his stature."
"On paper he looks good. Among the accomplishments his campaign bio trumpets was that: "In 1982 he first proposed, then led the fight for, including an African American soldier in the memorial statue that now graces the Vietnam Veterans memorial on the National Mall."
"Impressive, if true, but it isn't. I know, because I was there."
