In my inbox this morning was an email with the following subject line: Senator Jim Webb’s response to your message.|GUID#IAb54d33f1-59a8-4fd3-b219-4b17a4c58a42. Boy, all that gibberish numbering in the subject line somewhat diminished that “oh, I am so special feeling” one might get when receiving a personal response from a U.S. Senator.  Considering Webb’s response was 8 days and 2 plus hours slower than the 1st of 3 identical responses I got from Senator Mark Warner, it makes you wonder how well organized and efficient is the office of Virginia’s senior senator? Well, maybe Lieutenant Dan needed more time to craft an elegant and meaningful response to one of his constituents? Nope, his drivel was far worst than Warner’s and poorly written to boot. 

Remember the old skit on Saturday Night Live (SNL) where Kevin Nealon played Mr. Subliminal and actually said what he was thinking while reading the copy of his story? Well, here’s my stab at the same from one line of Webb’s response. My thoughts are in red.

“It is for this reason that I supported the bi-partisan thanks, Arlen, Susan and Olympia American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (H.R. 1). This economic recovery package is designed to swiftly enrich special interests drive money into our struggling economy. With help for struggling my vocabulary is pretty small families, meaningful until the Bush cuts expire  tax cuts and concentrated funding you know pork oink oink on key infrastructure programs, I am hopeful I ain’t got a clue that this responsibly-crafted which nobody read legislation will create millions of new jobs and begin immediately to restore destroy the financial markets of America’s economic strength.

     I think it’s Doc Thompson on WRVA 1140 who refers to Webb as Lieutenant Dan from Forrest Gump, since Webb was always so angry during his campaign for the Senate. How about in his next election let’s turn this clown out? Obviously, whatever money is being spent to run his office is being poorly spent.
