What Kind Of Weave Is This Webb ?

Is Jim Webb World-Wide Ready, Or Too Good For All This Leadership Stuff?: "Webb, an idiosyncratic, free-thinking, independent-minded politician, is being pushed for a position that steamrolls those qualities. Worse, he's being pushed for the position because people love what an idiosyncratic, free-thinking, independent-minded politician he is. It's like celebrating a former alcoholic's sobriety by taking him out for a drink."

You don't take a Scot-Irish brawler out for a drink, period, unless maybe first you take him out to the prairie and make him pound rails before first call.

But Webb may be a polished jewel of a human and we should probably keep our eyes pealed - he may be the real thing: the natural turn of the page.
