Is this the same guy that said something about being "even handed" toward Hezbollah?

appoint a special envoy

It's always been productive in the past, hasn't it?

Don't forget to bring the lucky rabbit's foot and always say Please and Thank You.

[ImpBill]

Chuck Hagel; Republican in Name Only and definitely never was and never will be "key" to anything!

[THX 1138]

A key Senate Republican...

Sez who...?

[Jameison]

Blowhard Hagel strikes again.

[You Dirty Rats]

He attacks the Administration regularly; therefore, he automatically qualifies as a "key" Republican Senator (i.e. one loved by the Lamestream Media).

[The_Republican]

Blair and Hagel are anti-semites.

[OldFriend]

With friends like Hagel, Powell, and Baker.......Israel needs no enemies.

[THX 1138]

It was a rhetorical question...;>)

[Convert from ECUSA]

"former secretaries of state Colin Powell and James Baker would be good candidates for the post."

Not!!!!!!!!! Especially Baker! He's about as qualified to be a "special envoy" as Pat Buchanan!

[TChris]

What is with Hagel? It appears that he's a solid conservative otherwise.

...but he simply doesn't get it on the WoT.

He's a key hole at least.

Where is the RINO Alert?

No, Hagel's every comment begs of a Moron Alert. If you ever want to see the human equivalent of a shark feeding frenzy, gather up Hagel, Schumer, Biden, Graham, Specter, Gergen, and Durbin and throw in a TV camera.

[chiller]

He's not been on the Sunday shows lately....needs a little PR. Care to bet if he makes it this week.

[Tokra]

I think he is right! We need to sit down at a table with Syria and Iran and tell them they have 10 days to clean up their act or suffer the consequences. Show them a picture of Nagasaki & Hiroshima to let them know just how bad those consequences could be.

[no dems]

I'm to the point that I would almost rather see a Dem defeat him than have to put up with his crap any longer.

When is he up for re-election?

[Soul Seeker]

Ah, I've been wondering where al-Jazeera's favorite Senator was.
