Yahoo News ^ | February 21, 2013 | Olivier Knox

Add Bob Dole—former senator, former presidential candidate, grievously wounded in World War II—to the list of Republican heavy-hitters urging the Senate to confirm the embattled Chuck Hagel as defense secretary.

“Hagel’s wisdom and courage make him uniquely qualified to be Secretary of Defense and lead the men and women of our armed forces,” Dole said in a statement released by the White House. “Chuck Hagel will be an exceptional leader at an important time.”

Gotta love the way they play up Dole's heroism for this article. Back in 1994 and 1996, Dole was an “extreme conservative” “Prince of Darkness” who stood in the way of Bill Clinton's enlightened agenda. Now he's the grievously wounded hero.

Why am I picturing Norm MacDonald doing Bob Dole?

"Bob Dole is still relevant! Bob Dole wants you to pick another RINO!"

Bob Dole = John McCain

If you want to know why the Republican Party is in such bad shape, you don’t have to look much farther than these two.

I haven’t quite given up yet because here in Wisconsin we still have Scott Walker, Paul Ryan and Ron Johnson.

Same here. Dole, McCain, Romney, Boehner, Rubio, et al. are typical of the party. Conservatives like us are no longer welcome.

To call Bob Dole a "Republican heavy-hitter" in this day and age is ridiculous.

Who in the heck is going to say "Well, I wasn't going to, but if Bob Dole says he's OK, then Hagel's my man!"

Bob Dole: “Chuck Hagel will be an exceptional leader at an important time.”

Important, that is, for the furtherance of jihad.

Hagel, enemy of Israel, Arabist, Iranophile.

Mum in re the Ft. Hood jihad massacre by the execrable Nidal Hassan.

As the military is on the chopping block, to be sacrificed to Hussein's 2008 promise.

Homosexuals out and shouting, women in combat, same-sex partners getting benefits denied those of the opposite sex.

All within the context of turning the War on Terror around into the Arab Spring, to remove secular regimes and install Islamist ones.

Arming the Muslim Brotherhood through CIA/military depots dispensing Saudi largesse a la Benghazi.

Giving the shari'ia dictator Morsi (BFF of Huma-Hillary) F-16s.

Hagel whom Grassley accuses of confirmation conversion.

Hagel the cheesy weasel with his "Christ, was I drunk" routine.

Dole who sacrificed so much; like his brain or his soul.

Another out of body experience:

Bob Dole LIKEs Chuck Hagel's page and encourages you to LIKE it, too.
