I already sent Sen Hagel an e-mail concerning his constant criticism of everything this admn does. I accused him of sour grapes because his man didn't get the nomination in 2000 and accused him of being power hungry. I also said neither he nor McCain would ever be President so get over it. I was slightly unhappy when I did that.
Good for you! Most all of this is sour grapes. Even Lott is trying to get in a few licks.
Whatever's up with these "good Senators" and others, if they have some legitimate point to make and defend, they should do so. Otherwise, they should "STFU", and stop with this incessant public MSM criticism of Bush and/or his "team", which seems solely based on their own opinions, and therefore does no practical good and potentially causes harm. They are in that apparently growing "cadre" of egotistical politicians who love airing their own views publicly more than than they worry about actually providing counsel to the President. Or perhaps their "counsel" was rejected? But the way they're conducting themselves, I don't trust their judgement on some issues any more either...
