Webb now says "It wasn't my gun..."

According to the latest Washington Post story, Senator Webb has just thrown his loyal staffer under the bus, refusing to say who the gun belonged to and refuting earlier reports that it was his gun.

"I have never carried a gun in the Capitol complex, and I did not give the weapon to Phillip Thompson," Webb said. "We had three cars on Friday that were being moved about because of my trip, and that is probably a reason that this inadvertent situation developed . . . and that's really all I can say."

So Webb's apparently letting Thompson take the fall here, even though it still appears that it was in fact Webb's own .45 1911 pistol. That's cold. I hope Thompson likes those baloney sandwiches that they serve in the DC Jail. I wonder if Webb will visit him there?
