What could be worse than Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Defense? Another post-racial RINO (Republican in name only) with an antipathy for Israel: Yiddish speaking former Shabbos goy Colin Powell.

One new name that has become a topic of speculation on military listservs and among Democratic national security hands in recent days is that of retired four-star Gen. Colin Powell.

Indeed, Obama has consulted Powell so often, it has raised the eyebrows of some retired senior Democratic national security figures he has apparently consulted less so.

Yeah, good point.

How about Dennis Kucinich instead of Hagel for Defense?

I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

Maybe Keith Ellison?

I don't understand it either.

It'll take G-d's help. Keep praying.
