The worst part about Hagel is, Biden is his best friend--and I wouldn't put it past Biden to "threaten" Hagel somehow----
I know the drawbacks of the "recess appointments"---the trick would be to find enough of them that would make the sacrifice, in order to prove to the dems that if they are gonna play games, they will lose!!
Somehow, I have lost all faith in Frist to get anything done-I'm not even sure I would let him operate on me...he is just way to passive!!!
Well .. please hang on a little longer .. Frist may surprise you yet .. we just have to stop comparing him to the "Hammer".
