White House Readying Hagel Replacement
Big Hairy News ^ | February 1, 2013 | Scooter Van Neuter

WASHINGTON (BHN) - In the wake of Chuck Hagel's disastrous performance Thursday in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee, sources in the White House say President Obama is preparing a replacement nominee.

"It's obvious Hagel's toast, so the President is preparing another nominee based on the same criteria he used to pick Chuck Hagel," said the source. "The new nominee for Defense Department head will be a rubber dog toy."

Upon hearing news of the replacement, Sen. Inhofe remarked, "Sounds like Bo picked this one - it's definitely an improvement over the last guy."

Given that Kerry is, at best, a traitor, would you prefer to have him voting in the Senate or wasting his life in State Department.

Seems to me that's an easy question to answer ~ now, about Hagel, I imagine his replacement is getting his shock treatments out of the way now.

Hagel rhymes with bagel,
as in toasted bagel,
as in toast.

Never, NEVER doubt the WhiteyHut isn’t considering her or very similar, maybe Moochelle. Nobama is damn pouty and we can expect to get the bird for sure.

So how many farts has fuBarACK nominated then un-nominated over the years? Has any body been keeping a count?

I’m thinking Hagel was a set-up. His performance was so bad that it had to be intentional. Now obama can nominate someone even worse than Hagel. The wimpy Senate RINO’s will be afraid to challenge barry’s second nomination.

Difference is, Kerry is was treated with great deference, nobody truly went at him. Hagel has made some enemies and several senators were ready to expose his severe weaknesses, which they did. It was not pretty, in fact, it was extremely ugly.

The best thing the Dems can do now is pressure Hagel and his WH fans that he needs to pull his own nomination so another pick can be made.

IOW, don’t put them in a position to choose between voting against Hagel vs. voting for Obama’s pick. They don’t like, and deeply resent, being put there.

"Colin Powell"

Good guess! But does he hate Israel and love Islamofascism? That seems to be the litmus test.

Hagle looks like some drunken old stewbum who sleeps face down in a gravel parking lot.

I bet when he flies they ask him “Sir would you like to put those bags in the over-head compartment?’’.
