There are different versions. Here's my take:
Basically the president asked Webb how his boy was doing. Webb said he wanted to get him out of Iraq (kind douchey to say to president at the time). Then Bush said "that's not what I asked I asked about your boy" (could be douchey depending upon on how he said it - but he could have been trying to be personable and set aside politics) - then Webb said "that's between me and my boy" ...I don't think you should talk like that to the president.

Seems an impolite response in general.

I remember it like a want does. I did not see the Noonan article or at least I don't remember it. For what it's worth, I remember thinking of Webb as being the bigger jerk in the exchange because he started it but I also that Bush reacted poorly.
