The following is complete speculation: I can't help but wonder whether the flap about Sen. Webb's assistant being caught carrying a concealed weapon -- reportedly for the senator -- stems from someone setting Webb up. It just sounds like the old tactics of hitting a political rival; remember that Webb offered the Democrats' response to President Bush's State of the Union and was generally regarded as offering an excellent counter to the call for seemingly endless funding of the unpopular war. It's been three months, which is usually more than enough shelf life for U.S. political stories in the minds of most Americans. Somehow, I don't think this is a simple whoops.
