Mere days after Sen. George Allen's MacacaGate gaffe comes a bit of nearly-as-embarassing news from the other side: James Webb Jr. -- son of the Democratic Senate candidate -- has a public MySpace account, and it's not exactly a page from the typical scrub-and-polish smiles we see at campaign stops.
Junior, a member of the 2nd Marine Division, writes: "As the official purchaser of porn in the ‘support this friggin Marine program’. You are not only the provider of pornagraphic paraphenalia, to this individual friggin Marine, but a whole Platoon of friggin Marines, waiting to be supported by someone like you, the General Public. But please, no midget or goat porn."
And, just to keep the week's theme constant, Webb provides some dubiously racist language: "Right above the reel it read “made in china.” ‘Confucious say, cheaply made rod make expensive catch.’ Zebco is made in china now?! Holy crap! This wholesome everyday American product, is now relegated to manufacture by a bunch of people in China, who will probably NEVER even SEE a lake. Let alone fish one."
We'll give the Webb campaign about a half-hour to pull this, so check it out now.
(Addendum: James Webb, Jr.'s response to Wonkette can be found here.)


Yeah, damn it! Why isn't George's son in Iraq. Oh, he's underage. Who cares!

If I were Allen I would think twice before reminding voters that Webb's son is serving in the Marine Corps.
