I'm a Contrarian Asshole: Webb Edition

This one goes in the ’save for later’ file. I’m just going to say it: there are a lot of people out there who want to do nothing but fall at the feet of the first person in politics who is “bold” enough to say something progressive. Or rather, the first white/male person, we all know those unelectable, radical bra burning types don’t count, and if they did, they’d never be on TV anyway so therefore they still don’t count. But like with the Next Great Triangulator, I feel that people are a tad too willing to get married before they’ve even had a chance to get to know the merchandise. It’s a cliche that some lesbians may bring UHauls on their second dates, but myself I’ve never been that type. I meant to put this up earlier but illness sidetracked me, so I hope as you review the article you’ll recall all the bubbly chatter about Webb being a great choice for the Democratic nominee in 2008 that came after the SOTU. Let’s all slow down, and give him a couple more dates before we unzip our pants and beg him to go for home base.
