(AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)Chuck Hagel appeared before his former colleagues on the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday, seeking their approval for his nomination to serve as secretary of defense. What followed was one of the most absurd, embarrassing hearings in recent Washington memory.Senators battered Hagel for even small departures from accepted conventional wisdom, subtly (and not-so-subtly) charged that he actually sought America’s destruction, begged him to keep defense spending headed towards their state, and generally thrashed traditional notions of the Senate’s role to “advise and consent” on cabinet appointments.
were you noticing that this like those before is an inquisition not a vetting of ability to do a job the Pres. appt'd him to but because of that and Hagel's freeing himself from the republican gang prompted this blood in blood out mentality of the out to kill two birds with one farce, deny the Pres' and payback to Hagel for having the moral compass they lack. all about gettin' even.
Winners, “Please Admit You Hate America” Division
Senator James Inhofe, R-OK: The question I’d like to ask you, and you can answer for the record if you like, why do you think that the Iranian foreign ministry so strongly supports your nomination to be the secretary of defense?
Senator Lindsey Graham, R-SC: Do you believe that the sum total of all of your votes, refusing to sign a letter to the EU asking Hezbollah to be designated a terrorist organization, being one of two to vote [against] designating the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization, being one of two on two occasions to vote against sanctions that this body was trying to impose on Iran, the statements you made about Palestinians and the Jewish lobby, all that together—that the image you’ve created is one of sending the worst possible message to our enemies and our friends at one of the most critical times in world history?
just to wet your feet in the poll of ridiculous, money wasting attempts to continue the agenda change after failing to make it a one term deal they want like little kids muddy up the scond victory over them and take their toys and go home.
