Damn.

Flamboyant Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens tried to kill himself by overdosing on pain medication, police said, even putting two more pills into his mouth after a friend intervened.

…

The friend attempted to pry them out with her fingers, then was told by Owens that before this incident he’d taken only five of the 40 pain pills in the bottle he’d emptied. Owens was asked by rescue workers “if he was attempting to harm himself, at which time (he) stated, `Yes.”‘

Especially when they’re only four years old.

And the hits just keep on coming:

Five female graduates of the U-S Naval Academy accused Democratic Senate candidate Jim Webb today of creating a pervasive air of sexual discrimination at Annapolis in the early 1980s after he wrote a column titled “Women Can’t Fight.”

The women gathered at a news conference in Richmond organized by Webb’s Republican opponent, Senator George Allen.

Webb is a graduate of the Naval Academy and a decorated Marine combat veteran of the Vietnam War who said in his 1979 column in “Washingtonian” magazine that the armed services were worse off for admitting women to service academies.

Linda Postenrieder (POSS’-ten-REE’-der), a 1982 Naval Academy grad, said she was very angry at Webb’s article that … quote … “infected the Corps with venom and hate.”

Another 1982 graduate, Jennifer Brooks, said the atmosphere at the academy emboldened male midshipmen to harass women, who were first admitted to the service academies in 1976. She said … quote … “we were like fish in a barrel and it was bad in that barrel.”

Just one of many issues that have dogged Webb since before he won the nomination. Harris Miller also hit on this during the Democratic Primary with a flyer that quoted Webb:

I have never met a woman… I would trust to provide those men with combat leadership… What are the advantages to us, as a socidty, of having women in combat units? I don’t know of any.

Ouch.

UPDATE: And that’s not all! The AllenHQ Blog (the official blog of the Allen campaign) has a whole list of Webb comments.

NLS is reporting that Allen leads Webb 50-43 in the latest Rasmussen Poll. Webb’s being MIA following the Macaca Incident has led to his failure to capitalize after their last poll in mid-August put Allen up by only 5 points, 47-42.

Couple this with yesterday’s announcement of Democratic State Senator Benjamin Lambert’s endorsement of Allen and you’ve got yourself one great week for the Allen camp. Webb’s dismal showing in the Richmond area in the Democratic Primary certainly isn’t going to be helped by this.

Join the fool pitying:

In 2006, a crack team of conservative bloggers united in support of their United States Senator’s re-election campaign.

They promptly established a website and launched it into Virginia’s blogosphere.

Today, still wanted by their liberal foes everywhere, they survive writing insightful and pithy posts.

If you have a problem, if no-one else can help, and if you can find them on the web, maybe you can read and call upon “the A-Team blog.”
