RAWSTORY Bush, Webb in testy exchange over Senator-elect's soldier son Mike Sheehan Published: Tuesday November 28, 2006 President Bush and U.S. Senator-elect Jim Webb got into a testy exchange over the status of Webb's soldier son, who is serving in Iraq, The Hill is reporting. Emily Heil writes that at a White House private dinner just after the election featuring "newly elected lawmakers," Bush asked Webb "how his son, a Marine lance corporal serving in Iraq, was doing." According to a person who was present at the dinner, Webb replied to the President that he "really wanted to see his son brought back home." "I didn't ask you that, I asked how he's doing," Bush replied, according to The Hill's 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," writes Heil. "It's safe to say, however, that Bush and Webb won't be taking any overseas trips together anytime soon." The full item can be read here.
