Jim Webb, the new Foley

Is Jim Webb running for Senate because he heard about the great Page program? Here's a suggestion for everyone. If you think there is even the most remote chance that you'll run for office one day, don't write a novel that includes pedophilia and incest like this (from Drudge):

– Lost Soldiers: “A shirtless man walked toward them along a mud pathway. His muscles were young and hard, but his face was devastated with wrinkles. His eyes were so red that they appeared to be burned by fire. A naked boy ran happily toward him from a little plot of dirt. The man grabbed his young son in his arms, turned him upside down, and put the boy’s penis in his mouth.”

This will make Jim Webb, Democratic candidate for Senate in Virginia, the new Mark Foley. It doesn't matter that it is fiction. Most Americans are repulsed by things like this, and I doubt that Virginians will send someone who wrote the above to a Congress already rocked by a virtual pedophilia scandal. Welcome back to the Senate, George Allen. Ya nearly blew it, but your opponent was dumber than you.
