President Bush and U.S. Senator-elect Jim Webb got into a testy exchange over the status of Webb's soldier son, who is serving in Iraq, The Hill is reporting. Emily Heil writes that at a White House private dinner just after the election featuring 'newly elected lawmakers,' Bush asked Webb 'how his son, a Marine lance corporal serving in Iraq, was doing.' According to a person who was present at the dinner, Webb replied to the President that he 'really wanted to see his son brought back home.' 'I didn't ask you that, I asked how he's doing,' Bush replied, according to The Hill's source. 'Webb confessed that he was so angered by this that he was tempted to slug the commander-in-chief, reported the source, but of course didn't,' writes Heil. 'It's safe to say, however, that Bush and Webb won't be taking any overseas trips together anytime soon'...
