You almost have to think it was planned that way, though I always fear giving politicians undue credit. By all rights Kerry should have gotten all the weird outrage aimed at Hagel, which by the way I still don’t understand, no matter how bad he is at dog and pony shows. We have the goods on Kerry, or did 8 or so years ago. Just hit refresh.
Also, it matters that Kerry actually is worse, much worse, for the position than Hagel for his. I don’t hesitate to declare him unfit fir office. Yet somehow Pubs let him slide by, pushing him along, even. He falls into the old “Well, the President can have what he wants, unless it’s a child sex maniac, or something” file. Obama can’t have Hagel, though, for some inconceivable reason. Hmmm.
You always hate apostates and traitors more than your enemies. It’s a universal human quirk. Did they know nominating a Pub slightly at odds neocons and the Isreal Lobby would provide cover for Kerry’s flanking maneuver? Well played, if so.
” unless it’s a child sex maniac”
Like Sen Menendez
Hagel is giving the Rats their Boom Boom time
“Did they know nominating a Pub slightly at odds neocons and the Isreal Lobby..”
You again. You just can’t keep from denigrating Israel. And you might learn how to spell it while you are at it.
And Hagel is not”slightly at odds” with people who care about Israel, he is anti-Israel, period.
