WASHINGTON - Nebraska Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel said his party's vice presidential nominee, Sarah Palin, lacks foreign policy experience and called it a "stretch" to say she's qualified to be president.
"She doesn't have any foreign policy credentials," Hagel said in an interview published Thursday by the Omaha World-Herald. "You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don't know what you can say. You can't say anything."

I am so glad Hagel is at the end of his term. What a disappointment that man has been. I guess the only good thing I can say about him is at least you always knew where he stood - firmly on the socialist side of every issue. Hey, Chuck - don't let the door hit you.

Since being the Big Tent Party you see the RINO’s in heat as they see their leftist agenda in trouble.
All RINO’s need to go to the Democrat party.

I was not surprised either. He is such a Rino. Makes me feel all icky inside just picturing this media hound, knowing he calls himself a Republican. Wish Ronald Reagan were around to deliver this creep the dressing down of his life.

Hagel is Obama’s butt-buddy. The man is a disgrace.

Why are people still interviewing this “has been”? His seat in the Senate is about to be won by a real Republican.
To: Artemis Webb
Maybe Sarah can do something about the party/gender confusion issue of the nadless pubbies.

Foreign policy credentials? Like Obama has them? Bill Clinton had them? Please, they keep raising (or lowering) the bar, would someone PLEASE set standards.
So Kerry was the better candidate against Bush, because he fought in Vietnam (Yes really, I verified it). But this year, POW hero McCain aint worthy. I mean, gosh all mighty, can we just be CONSISTENT in our evaluations?

Obama is qualified because he has had a passport for a long time?
What a moron.

Let me respond to the diaper wearing Hagel -
Hagel, she is the ONLY Governor in our entire Union that has two FOREIGN COUNTRIES BORDERING her state. She has had official contact and business communication with both Russia and Canada. You do not need to travel abroad to have foreign policy experience, putz.
BTW, you did not have the balls to run for reelection because you knew you would lose your seat to a republican challenger. You are a fool and a tool with no spine.

Misleading headline alert if there ever was one. He endorsed Obama from the beginning of the campaign. This would be like them running a headling “Democrat Senator Says Obama Is Unqualified” and having the Senator be Lieberman. It’s a non-news story the AP printed to get their own partisen barb in the headline.

hagel you idiot, did you not notice the pubbie base LOVES her?
