Please get the facts straight. Contrary to your assertion that "Webb successfully stoked the flames on the “Allen is a racist boob” meme and Allen countered by tossing the “Webb is a misogynist jerk” grenade", the fact is that Webb has NEVER attacked Allen for racism, and his only comment about "macaca" was that Allen was bullying his 20 year old staffer. Webb is on record several times -- look it up -- as refusing to address the question of whether Allen is a racist and also whether he meant something racial by the macaca comment. Almost the entire flap was the result of a media frenzy created out of Allen's own mouth and then exacerbated by the reams of people not connected to the Webb campaign who came out of the woodwork when contacted by curious reporters and told the truth about what they knew of George Allen. That some Webb supporters seized upon the opportunity is understandable, but Webb has never behaved as Allen has, eagerly misrepresenting his opponent's positions and casting aspersions on his character. Has Webb reacted angrily to the attack on his character? Sure, he wouldn't be human if he hadn't. But still he asks to talk about the issues, and still Allen hammers again and again on Webb's character. He's a punk. Oh, and I can tell from what you wrote that you HAVEN'T read Webb's books, so why don't you lay off calling them dreck when you are frankly not in a position to know?

Jon Henke used to be one of the "good bloggers" - defined as a critic of dumb ideas, first and foremost, because too damn few elsewhere are doing it - then he apparently sold his soul to a campaign that didn't meet his own standards and now seems to have brought those standards down to meet the campaign rather than vice versa. It's happened before and will happen again on both sides of a partisan divide. Sad. I'd rather be a lefty critic of all and sundry than a bought-and-paid-for Dem mouthpiece, anyday. I'm glad to say I'm not alone, just as there are rightwing bloggers who see their first role as being the kind of informative critic that the Fourth Estate (Fox included, whatever JJ thinks) just doesn't do very much of anymore.

Context of the Webb p---s s--king quote over at Tapped (I posted a comment linking & quoting, but possibly the p-word, s-word, + link hit the spam filter.

Short version: happens all the time over there, especially if yo' mama's from Manchuria.

Politicians-love 'em or hate 'em. But they are our leaders. What they write is what they write and they expose themselves to appropriate criticism. Walt's wife and Bill with his sci-fi stories included (published on the Internet, Bill? Wow. lol! Before making such a boast maybe you should actually get in print. Anybody with a keyboard can be "published" on the Internet. I would think you would already know that). I think that it is funny Allen gets criticized for exposing this depravity of his opponant, yet what about all the yelling about the no news Mikaka comment that meant nothing? And what about the Democrats going after Foley, who had ALREADY done the right thing and RESIGNED yet somehow the republicans still suffer for it because of the liberal media's constant reporting of it. The only people wholly lacking in morals are the liberals. They live in the gutter and die in the gutter.

[...] Should you wish to read the passages in question (assuming you haven’t already, James Joyner has them). And I agree with James, many of the scenes are pretty tame, and more importantly the writing isn’t all that impressive. [...]

The sister-bashing line from A Sense of Honor is pretty good, btw.

But the grabbing-boy-and-putting-penis-in-mouth part is inexplicable out of context (and maybe in, for all I know).

Well, it just proves, once again, the depravity of the ReNAMBLAcans. Felix can call folks macaca and nigger in the real world, but Webb writes some fiction and the rightwing morons want it to be real. Virginia voters are even more brain-damaged than Connecticut voters.

There’s a lot of talk in the blogosphere today about dirty, nasty passages from books Jim Webb has written that were released by the Allen campaign last night.

And what about those Albermarle County court blotters with a few "George Felix Allen" entries back in 1974?

Ooh, and Josh Marshall has this:

If Allen really wants to play rough, maybe it's time for some Democrats to start going on the shows and asking about that sealed divorce records of Allen's. All those reporters have a pretty good idea of what's in there. But Sen. Allen (R-VA) just won't agree to let them see it.

That would be fun!
