I read this blog on Huffingtonpost and had to link to it. Nora gets it right about newly-elected Virginia Senator Jim Webb--finally someone in Washington has the balls to call frat-boy Bush on his shit. I love it.
When I hear that Jim Webb showed bad manners, I ask what people thought about our Vice President flicking someone off then yelling "fuck yourself" on the floor of the Senate. Now that's manners.

Personally, I think both are examples of terrible manners, and both showed a lack of respect for their posts in these instances. Shame on them both.
Ditto dogwood girl.
Webb showed a horrid lack of manners. Yes Graham, I know many politicians are guilty of them same, but let's stick with Webb for the moment.
Webb is a United States Senator - I expect a bit more decorum from him. He wasn't speaking "truth to power," he was acting like an asshole. If I did that in a social situation, my Grandmother would to this day slap me dizzy - Senator or not.
In my opinion, Webb is feeling a bit full of himself, but he should be careful. Too many rude spectacles may dim his future political plans.
Oh, and as for Nora Ephron's post...
Never take advice on manners from a Hollywood Yankee.
