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."

Ping.

[Tarpon]

When Bagels attack ...

[Uncle Miltie]

Hagel prefers the tame New York Times.

RINO defined.

[joesbucks]

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.

Hagel, don't let the door hit you in the ass:-(o)

[The South Texan]

With RINO’s like Hagel, who needs DemoRats?

[NeoCaveman]

Huck Fagel.

[wolfcreek]

“[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.

[FreeAtlanta]

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

[freespirited]

Time for Chuck to go “sell shoes.”

[PzLdr]

“They don’t have any answers.” Yo! Chuck, you cluelss twit. You haven’t even got the questions!

[massgopguy]

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

[Cheapskate]

Hey Schmeigel!!!!1didin’t your momma raise you to show a little respect to your betters???

[Bernard Marx]

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.

[mulligan]

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.

[Red Badger]

That RINO platform you stood on, Chucky boy, was the trap-door for the gallows of your career, dufus....

[roses of sharon]

Hagel the Whore.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Fly away UpChuck Bagel, don't let the
door hit you in that fat head of yours.

[Yaelle]

Sen. Hagel, Rush has thought about running for public office but he couldn’t take the pay cut. Also, since it’s easy for him to showcase products he approves of, he is beholden to no one.

Rush does not have all the answers, but he can explain the surface of the actions in Washington and in the mainstream media, and then he can delve deeper and explain what is REALLY going on under the superficial veneer. Sometimes it’s just refreshing to hear the truth.

[concerned about politics]

they try to rip everyone down and make fools of everybody but they don't have any answers."

Isn't there any way the real Republicans can get rid of this guy? I'll bet he even voted for Oboma.

The answer is simple. All the Republicans in Washington have to do is come home to their conservative roots. They're just too spineless to take the democrats on.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

RINO hunting season. ;)

The Dem party is so far left now that the RINO’S have nowhere to go, unless they want to join the Communists on the left. Conservatives need to re-take the Republican party, if the RINO’S want to leave, let them. We’ll pick up more stay at home conservatives and common sense voters than the RINO’S can draw.

[pissant]

Stand up, Chuck!

[Las Vegas Ron]

Troll much, Arnie? Perhaps you should whimper back to DU

[LiberConservative]

... they try to rip everyone down and make fools of everybody ...

You're making a fool of yourself, Hagel. See ya'. The only thing worse than a RINO is a whining RINO.

[wastedyears]

Hagel couldn’t hope to be 1% the man Rush would be in office.

[RightWhale]

That’s the problem with some politicians. They think we don’t get irony.

[Mr. K]

DAMN GOOD IDEA!!! WHY DON’T YOU RUN RUSH??

He originally said he would hate the anal exam that would follow entering a race, but they ALREADY have hit him with everything they got

LIMBAUGH 2012

""We are educated by the great entertainers like Rush Limbaugh," Hagel said "

Don't look now dip-wad, but the polls show that Obama voters are the dumbest creatures on Earth. Just sayin'

[Old Grumpy]

What crawled up his . . . asterisk?

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

What crawled up his . . . asterisk?

Barney Frank, most likely. ;)

[Matchett-PI]

Take a hike, loser.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Time to change my tagline....maybe SHUT UP! Chuck.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Hagel, Rush Limbaugh has done more to protect America’s freedoms and her way of life than you did in your entire Washington career.

‘Course, I’ve noticed, Chuckles, that you’ve never really made the case for your RINO philosophy to a national audience. Oh, you like to talk to your inside the Beltway pals about it...an echo chamber. But you don’t really bring that defeatist message to the masses, do ya, Chuck?

What a clown.

[Issaquahking]

Good job guys, another troll bites the dust!

[Cedric]

Yes, excellent work!

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Good job guys, another troll bites the dust!

I like that funny little high-pitched squeal they always make, when the lightning hits 'em. ;)

[floozy22]

The idiot has it backwards. People like Rush actually have to have ideas and articulate them in the marketplace, in order to be successful and earn a living. The only thing pols are good at is sitting in committees deciding how to spend other people's money.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Wow, that was quick

[aWolverine]

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Did Hagel retire

Yes. He was succeeded by the Republican Attorney General. I don't know how conservative.

[BigMacGOP]

Thank God Mike Johanns is taking over for this RINO disgrace...

[Oldsailor]

I am living in Nebraska and thought Hagel was a conservative republican when I voted for him. So much for what I know about what a conservative Republican should look like. Or maybe Chuckie changed his midwest stripes on us and decided to forget representing the folks and instead spent his last several years trying to cultivate a mavoric image by siding with, first McCain and when that didn’t get him enough power then he jumped over the aisle and joined the Rats and is not even a true RINO but is instead a deserter.

[BigMacGOP]

Mike Johanns...former mayor of Lincoln, former Governor, Ag Secy under W....much more conservative than Hagel...

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

I am living in Nebraska and thought Hagel was a conservative republican when I voted for him.

We all make mistakes. Take Al Franken's mom, for instance. ;)

[joesbucks]

Well, maybe not. He sealed his divorce settlement. Wonder what’s in it that he didn’t want known?

[boxer21]

While I have no love for Hagel, I have asked myself if Rush and Hannity carry so much weight, how come we nominated an unqualified Republican for President and elected an unqualified person for President and, how come we were able to elect the greatest President, Ronald Reagan, without the help of either Rush or Hannity?

[Cedric]

Got asbestos?
