Sen. Webb (D-VA) is using the politics of extortion to get his way. It’s called a politicians’ temper tantrum.

He’s holding up Pentagon nominations for a free ride to Vietnam for his 3rd wife and child, his excuse for the hold is Blackwater. Because as you know, Blackwater is the root of all evil according to a Dhimmicrat.

The Virginia Democrat’s request for their free travel on a Senate junket is in violation of Senate rules and Defense Department policy.

“A Senate Republican aide said, ‘Webb is suggesting that he is holding nominations as punishment for not getting answers back from questions relating to Blackwater, but in reality, it is leverage to get the Secretary to let his wife and eighteen month old both accompany him on this trip,’” Erick Erickson writes in Human Events.
