Webb Goes Back To His Roots

Well, it can be said that he whupped George Allen. And that he has now gotten Washington D.C. hammered into shape. In a mere three months. So Jim Webb, it seems, like the fabled Man of La Mancha, moves on to other adventures.

Apparently opposing the Iraq War and bringing hope to the nation's forlorn proles through wealth redistribution aren't a full-time job. Thus our newly elected United States senator is going to go back to doing what some say he does best - writing novels.

Webb plans political book
Senator describes it as populist work, not 'Capitol Hill novel'
By Peter Hardin, Richmond Times-Dispatch Washington Correspondent

Washington - The novelist, screenwriter and former Navy secretary that Virginians elected to the Senate is writing a new book - and it won't be a tell-all.

Freshman Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., disclosed yesterday that he's writing what he called a populist's view of the political situation in the United States today.

He hopes it will hit the bookstores around Memorial Day in 2008. (link)

I can only imagine, since Webb has gained some considerable reputation as a pornographer, that his new novel will be entitled "Debbie Does the Defense Department" or some such.

Our senator writing another novel.

We elected this guy why?
