DEL.ICIO.USJim Webb comes to town, and an Ode to Joe — but not by Beethoven
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
We’ve got dueling press conferences at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday. In Roswell, a “Joe The Plumber Coalition of Small Business Owners” have will take up the cause of Joe Wurzelbacher of Ohio. FYI, plumbers and pipe-fitters earned an average of $47,350 in 2007.
But in downtown Atlanta, at the veterans memorial near the state Capitol, U.S. Sen. Jim Web (D-Va.), something of an advocate for the Celtic nation in Appalachia, is to take up the cause of Jim Martin, the Democratic challenger to Republican incumbent Saxby Chambliss.
The Insider will be at one. Or the other.
Hard to say which one.

Please go to the Webb/Martin event given the higher profile. I’d like to know more about the race with Saxby.

Jim “Melon Head” Webb should stay in VA. No one is interested in what that smut author has to say. He wrote about molesting little boys, for crying out loud.

Webb proudly served in combat in the USMC, his son is now in Iraiq with the Corp, He has not sold out to the LOBBYIST.. Saxby is a DRAFT DODGER whose family doctor got him out of the draft, Saxby’s son, Bo is a Lobbyist for the ETHANOL Industry & Saxby is owned by out of State LOBBYIST. FIRE SAXBY NOW, FIRE SAXBY HERE, PAYLESS

Mary - didn’t you learn in kindergarten not to call people names and spread lies about them? Webb’s books are highly acclaimed national bestsellers. You should really take your medication today.
Go to the Webb/Martin event! Support our veterans!

Mary is right. Sen Webb wrote in one of his books about a graphic molestation scene involving a grown man and a young boy. “Melon Head” is a sick pervert and should be kept out of the state. What kind of sick person would include such an immoral passage in his book. I think that the man is demented. It makes perfect sense that he is coming down here to for a fellow sicko Democrat.
