Chuck Hagel will announce

Why do these politicians think they are so all-important that they have to make a big tadoo and announce their plans.

They could just as easily send a letter to their local political party headquarters and their local paper, and state that they will not seek re-election.

These announcments that they are going to announce something later are ridiculous.

You may not remember, but those of us here in Nebraska do, that Hagel called a huge press conference (a week in advance or so) to say that he had an announcement to make. Everyone thought he was going to announce a run for the presidency. It turned out that his big announcement was that "sometime at a future date he would make an announcement about his future political plans."

The putz actually called a press conference to announce that sometime in the future he would call a press conference!!! What an egomaniacal ass clown.

He had the choice of being a gentleman or a douche bag.
