Report: Jim Webb Dropping Out of Democratic Presidential Race
Jim Webb, who in last week’s debate reminded us that he once killed a man, is dropping out of the race to be the 2016 Democratic nominee for president, according to Fox News.

Webb’s decision comes just one week after he boldly predicted a victory in the first Democratic debate by accidentally retweeting a news satire site.
Despite his lackluster showing in that contest, which he attributed to the contest being “rigged,” Webb left us with many beautiful memories, such as the time he gave an insane answer to Anderson Cooper about which enemy he was most proud to have made.

Jim, we’ll miss you.
