“the president saw in Chuck Hagel somebody who shared his (let’s be charitable) studied neutrality on the Israel/Palestine dispute, his skepticism about the desirability of American power projection . . .”

I don’t think Zero has any problem with American power projection. He just wants to make sure it’s projected for the wrong purposes.

Senator Jim Inhofe asked Chuck Hagel why the Iranians had endorsed his nomination for secretary of defense:

“Given that Iran, the people — I’m quoting right now from Iran — people of the Middle East, the Muslim region and North Africa, people of these regions hate America from the bottom of their heart,” said Inhofe. “It further said Israel is a cancerous tumor in the heart of the Islamic world. They further said Iran’s warriors are ready and willing to wipe Israel off the map. The question I’d like to ask you, and you can answer for the record if you’d like, why do you think the Iranian foreign ministry so strongly supports your nomination to be the Secretary of Defense?”

I have not seen any criticism of Hagel that actually called him stupid. I’ll do it, he’s stupid.

Hagel began his reply with a flip remark and laughter. If I were Inhofe I would have stopped him right there and asked him why he finds a serious question and issue so amusing.

He hasn’t been called stupid, probably because he knows exactly what his views are and why he is the way he is.

He is truly a democrat, several steps lower than any RINO or whale$h!t.

He showed his true colors when he was first sent to the senate and told Nebraskans that he was there to represent his personal views and not those of Nebraskans who elected him.

The line between serious reporting and satire are becoming more blurred every day.

Ted Cruz, for one, is already talking about placing a hold on the nomination.

How I wish we could clone Ted Cruz (and Trey Gowdy, too)
