New Steyn... Containing Hagel M2RB: Guns 'N Roses

“It’s somewhere between baffling and incomprehensible,” a member of Mr. Obama’s own team of advisers on Iran said on Thursday night when asked about Mr. Hagel’s stumbling performance on the question during the all-day hearing. The worry was evident in the voice of the official, who would not speak on the record while criticizing the performance of the president’s nominee. For those who question whether the no-containment cornerstone of the Obama approach to Tehran is for real, or just diplomatic rhetoric, Mr. Hagel clearly muddled the message, he said.

[...] it’s so great that Obama nominated him so we’d have this chance to expose him as an ignorant, anti-Semitic dimwit to a national audience. Here I thought Hagel had retired peacefully, but now [...]

Totally Cruzed

I'm less curious whether Hagel is qualified to be SecDef than I am if he's qualified to be Asst. Manger at the Scottsdale Mall Foot Locker— InnocuousPicGuy69 (@AceofSpadesHQ) January 31, 2013

Only thing left is for Ted Cruz is to hold up Hagel's severed head.— DrewM (@DrewMTips) January 31, 2013

Menendez voted for the law when he was a member of the House of Representatives.

“TRAVEL WITH INTENT TO ENGAGE IN ILLICIT SEXUAL CONDUCT”…

Oh why must everyone be soooo bigoted towards Menendez? He just wants to love who he loves. Fabulous!!

“Absolutely,” Hagel replied. “I will faithfully, diligently enforce our laws. All men and women deserve the same rights and I can ensure you that would be a high priority of mine.”

Since when does anyone have a right to be in the military? This whole “gay” thing with the military is so ridiculous. If you choose to be in our voluntary military, then you voluntarily choose to abide by its rules, even if those rules restrict your sexual proclivities.

Hillary got the Bunny Rabbit treatment from the senate, as did Kerry even more so, and Hagel got the Hyena treatment. McCain went after Hagel like a pit bull yet treats Hillary like a princess, Kerry like a prince and Obama like a king.

Bust?

More like a pile on – some might even say lynching – mob courage on the part of senators who seemed to have very little of any kind of courage when questioning Kerry and Hillary, both of whom are much better examples of a sorry case for a human being, and no courage whatsoever when it comes to standing up to Obama, the foulest of the lot.

Oh boy, it’s going to be a long 4 years.

Obama picked Hagel because he knew he was an idiot – and a Republican…..

All for show – Now Obama will pick some lefty that can tell a good lie…..

I have to rise above trying to make hay by letting the Won shoot himself in the foot on this one.
Hagel is dangerously stupid, to the point where I think he could do serious harm to the military and our relations with allies (above what Bozo already has in mind/has done). I have two children, both Marines, so this is personal.
Block the moron anyway you can.

You know, if so much wasn’t at stake…

…like people’s lives…

…I would have rather enjoyed the class photo of Biden, Kerry, Hagel.

It’s like the worst group of disconnected white guys one could possible amass…

…done by the first black president. AMAZING.

…and to think Susan Rice was a first option.

Honestly, someone needs to ask Hagel why Obama picked him, and if he comes back with his years of military service…

…then Hagel needs to be asked if that’s the criteria, does he then believe McCain is more qualified than himself?

Just to see him stammer. It would be enjoyable.

Most all of them have all been. Look at my two. At least Chambliss is chickening out of running again. He got the message on that at least. Johnny is gonna have to go to. Must be something in the water up there in D.C. That takes a good man or woman and ruins them.

If Guilty, Menendez Could Face 30 Years in Prison If Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey is found guilty of traveling to the Dominican Republic to engage in sexual intercourse with underage prostitutes, he could face up to 30 years prison. The appropriate law, which would seem to apply in this instance, is the Prosecutorial Remedies And Other Tools To End The Exploitation Of Children Today (or the Protect Act). Menendez voted for the law when he was a member of the House of Representatives. “TRAVEL WITH INTENT TO ENGAGE IN ILLICIT SEXUAL CONDUCT”...

Why would the GOP filibuster?

I mean, why?

The public voted for this. You can argue about whether or not Obama should have his way on liberal policy advances that can’t be undone – i.e. fight back vs. Let it Burn – but certainly the Republicans shouldn’t stand under the heat to protect Obama from himself.
