Former Indiana Senator Richard G. Lugar became the first high profile Republican this week to endorse President Obama’s hugely controversial nuclear deal with Iran’s revolutionary Islamic government. If Congress is unable to override an expected presidential veto, in addition to $150 billion in immediate sanctions relief, the deal will guarantee the same radical Iranian regime that openly calls for the annihilation of an entire nation state both the legal right and practical ability to develop an industrial scale nuclear weapons infrastructure along with the intercontinental ballistic missile systems necessary to deliver nuclear payloads anywhere on earth. Speaking on MSNBC, the 83-year-old former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee praised the Iran deal as the “best available option” for restraining the world’s foremost terror supporting state. Exactly how it would restrain Iran, the voter-retired senator did not say. Lugar’s comments, together with an op-ed co-written with former Democrat Senator J. Bennett Johnston, praised Obama’s deal and harshly attacked Democratic Senator Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) 2% for being the first Democrat to break with the President. By becoming the first Republican figure to openly endorse a deal opposed by a large majority of American, and universally rejected by every single elected member of Lugar’s own Republican party, the octogenarian Hoosier continues his career practice of espousing foreign policy positions nearly identical to those promoted by America’s left-leaning foreign policy establishment clique. Lugar, warmly referred to as “Obama’s’ favorite senator” by the mainstream press, first rose to national attention in the late 1960’s when, as Mayor of Indianapolis, Lugar became known as Richard Nixon’s “favorite mayor.”

I’m not surprised, but nonetheless I must add:
F#ck you, DICK!
senile old fart..
Senility setting in.
Dick who?
He wasn’t high profile even when he wasn’t former senator.
That is why he is not in power anymore.
“Former...”
Not at all.
Is this old, demented fool still alive? If so, is he in an institution for the addled?
