But if he has aspirations for higher office, as a Republican, he is going to need to change his attitude and change it quick. It's a little too late for that. We've noticed his attitude long ago. A change of attitude now wouldn't do any good.

Hagel is "dead man walking". He may be re-elected as Senator, but he will NEVER be a National candidate.

I don't know how serious Hagel is about higher positions in politics. If he is content being a Senator from Nebraska he can probably get away with this stuff for as long as he wants. But if he has aspirations for higher office, as a Republican, he is going to need to change his attitude and change it quick. Chuck Hagel is the NYT's type of Republican, meaning he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell in a national election. His behaviour this past week only confirmed that, and local Freeper comments indicate that he'd even have trouble getting re-elected in he were up in 2006.

Hmmmm ... I see Hagel now ... he's sitting in a field watching the corn grow.

"If Hagel cares about his standing in the Republican party he ought to clarify his remark or publicly apologize to the Vice President."
McIntyre's got that exactly right but even if he does Hagel will never cut it with most Repubs.

"I don't know the tone with which Hagel uttered his snide comment on the Cheney shooting to the Omaha World-Herald that "If he'd (Cheney) been in the military, he would have learned gun safety" but unless it was a bad attempt at a joke, this comes across as the type of cheap shot I'd expect from left-wing partisans."
I've heard that sort of comment/joke plenty from conservatives as well as liberals.

I wonder what Senator Hagel thinks of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison?

Completely agree. But that guy has been taking pot shots and worse for quite a while now
He's been openly criticizing the admin. for the longest and his remarks have been getting personal.

We send nice, conservative veterans to Washington as Senators and then something happens to them. They become enamored of whatever the Dims are advocating on one hand and then on the other hand it is STFU for the people who put them in office.
It must be some unrecognized brain syndrome prevalent on the East Coast and DC in particular.

Bwahahahahahahaha
That is good!

Can't the farmers in Nebraska come up with someone better than Hegel to represent them?
To: new yorker 77
THATS the word I was looking for. Hagel is not a RINO...he's a FRAUD. Liberals only know how to play one way....dirty. It's the only way they've ever played. Either the left is taking lessons from Al-Q or the other way around. Chuckie is not only a fraud, he's an infiltrator. Elections this year should be interesting.

I very much doubt Hagel's term as a Senator will last beyond this term! The Nebraska is a very conservative state and don't like being hookwinked! They thought he was conservative!

May-be Chucky's buddy Bill Clinton should have been in the military, we wouldn't be looking for OBL and 911 wouldn't have happened.
