Allen campaign manager Dick Wadham (which really got him picked on a lot as a kid):
On Thursday, after Gov. Mark Warner and Webb remarked to reporters that the devastation in New Orleans was inexcusable ten months after Hurricane Katrina devastated the city, Wadhams issued a statement mocking Webb for standing up for the city.
"We want to congratulate Hollywood movie producer James H. Webb Jr. for finally taking a stand on the issue. We now know that he is opposed to the devastation in New Orleans," Wadhams said.
"Hollywood movie producer"? Awww shit! Oh no he didn't!
You know the Webb campaign don't take lip from anyone, and the smackdown was delivered by spokesperson/advisor Steve Jarding:
Jarding also took issue with Wadhams' attempt to attack Webb as a "Hollywood movie producer" for Webb's role in the film "Rules of Engagement."
"What part of `Rules of Engagement' did George Felix Allen Jr. and his insensitive mouthpiece Dick Wadhams not respect - military service? Patriotism? Honor? Valor? We know that George Felix Allen Jr. spent much of the Vietnam War years on a dude ranch in Nevada and chose not to serve, but his continued silence as his key staff dismiss military personnel and their patriotism is beginning to shine a very unfavorable light on Senator Dude Ranch," Jarding said.
And oh yeah, Allen is also wrong on Katrina. But we already knew that.
