Hagel takes aim at Limbaugh, Senate colleagues (RINO attack!)
CNN.com ^ | 11/18/08 | CNN

As his Senate career nears its end, Republican Chuck Hagel isn't holding back when it comes to criticizing members of his own party — including conservative talk radio hosts.

"We are educated by the great entertainers like Rush Limbaugh," Hagel said Tuesday during a speech in Washington, according to the Huffington Post.

"You know, I wish Rush Limbaugh and others like that would run for office," a sarcastic Hagel continued. "They have so much to contribute and so much leadership and they have an answer for everything. And they would be elected overwhelmingly. [The truth is] they try to rip everyone down and make fools of everybody but they don't have any answers."

Hagel prefers the tame New York Times.

RINO defined.

I think Rush does at time have answers. The answer he has never come up with is how to convince enough other people to go along with those answers to make a difference on a consistant basis. That's the true key to leadership.

As Newt found out, it's easier being a back bencher than a leader.

“[The truth is] they try to rip everyone down and make fools of everybody”

Or allow us a window into the minds of the power hungry, career politician.

Did Hagel retire or loose? In either case, did another Democrat take his seat?

He doesn’t “rip them down”. He pulverizes clowns like Hagel with a volley of pies to the face and seltzer down the pants.

Our fine “Republican” Hagel now joins the orchestrated Marxist assault on freedom of speech. He’ll probably sponsor the “Fairness Doctrine” bill that’s sure to arrive soon.

You are so correct Hagel. They (Rush and others like him) do have so much more to offer. Truth, common sense, intelligence, sound doctrine, concern for America and Americans and not for selfish interest like you. Sure glad to see you go. Should have happened long ago.
