I'm actually seriously concerned about this guys safety. He's obviously liked enough by those in NoVA, but those that live a lil' further south may have a problem with him. You pick which one. I have a feeling that he may be a target of some sort. And I guarantee his home number isn't listed.

I just got an email...turns out he was sworn in on a Qur'an! And in kindergarten he wrote an essay about how he wanted to be Virginia's first gay -black elected official when he grew up.

Virgin-i-aye? Are you kidding? Ok, this must be a joke on someone. I bet they are going to let him into the office, and lock the door and then just give him weggies all day. Or it is some sort of sick twisted right-wing sacrifice... The conservative compound at the center of Fairfax County has run out of the "blood of a gay black man" to keep Cheney's vampire heart going. Mr. Webb (are they all related in VA?) you are a brave man. Congrats.

Best of luck to Mr. Webb. He's a brave man for holding public office in a state where I'm not even totally sure slavery is illegal yet.

Bethesdaist: Somehow, someway, this will be tied to the illegal immigrant issue.Damn these foreigners coming to our country from Gaylandia, taking all of our elected positions while wearing expertly matched pastel colored shirts and ties! When are we finally going to build that Gaydar Defense System that prevents these illegals from coming across the border?! Something like that?

all the silly kidding above aside, congratulations to mr. webb. good luck to him, and may he be remembered for his good work and competence, as that's what any elected official should aspire towards.

It's about time. Falls Church has been electing closeted gay Black mayors for years.
