Jim Webb on the Meet the Press during his Senate campaign in 2006 discussing an article he wrote, "Women Cant Fight" and responding to Tim Russert's question about Webb's comment that the Naval Academy "is a horny woman's dream":
Jim Webb's Baggage (at 2:27 ..... see the embarrassing smile when asked to explain the "horny woman's dream" comment
