COMMENTS: Chip Off the Old Block
NBC adopted an Iraq theme for its In Depth feature going into Father's Day weekend. Capitol Hill correspondent Chip Reid chose the Creedence Clearwater Revival song Fortunate Son for his interview with anti-Iraq-War Vietnam veteran James Webb, Democratic Senator form Virginia, and his USMC lance corporal son Jimmy Webb, freshly returned from combat in Iraq. His platoon mates play I ain't no senator's son "real loud and yell," the young Marine joked. How does it feel to have a senator for a father? "I was really glad he won because I knew he threw everything he had into the campaign--and he is a real poor loser."
