Slippery When Webb

James Webb in the American Enterprise magazine in 1997: “I cannot conjure up an ounce of respect for Bill Clinton when it comes to the military. Every time I see him salute a Marine, it infuriates me. I don’t think Bill Clinton cares on iota about what happens in a military unit.”

James Webb on Clinton’s presidency, in 2000: “the most corrupt administration in modern memory.”

James Webb, yesterday: Accepting the fundraising support of a man he has considered corrupt and unworthy of his respect. He said that things had changed.
