Chuck Hagel.... a true Imbecile at work

Vanity ^ | 6/25/2003 | Bob Eimiller

[Bob Eimiller]

I just watched a babbling idiot! I can't believe I'm posting a vanity statement but this guy Sen. Chuck Hagel Republican from Nebraska is incredibly stupid.

He sat there with Sen. iden Democrat from Delaware and agreed with every slam at the Bush policy in Iraq whether from the Lehrer moderator or Biden himself.

I firmly the liberal media have found their obliging "Republican" to attack the Bush administration and their decisions on Iraq.

I had heard this imbecile a few days ago and thought he was totally "off the wall" ...It was impossible to tell what the hell he was talking about when he would answer a question... ANY question.. it seems NPR saw the same "air head" I saw.

Expect more of this fool as the media poster boy Republican.

Hey Nebraska... DUMP THIS GUY! PLEASE!

[quark]

Agree, a real jerk. Per NR, you have only his affiliation incorrect: Sen. Chuck Hagel, (R-France).

[Wolfstar]

As far as I'm concerned, Hagel is scum. He never misses an opportunity to slam the President and others in the administration. I suspect he wants to run for president in '04, but knows he hasn't got a snowball's chance. So he's setting himself up for '08 by "separating" himself from the current incumbent.

[OldFriend]

Hagel never misses an opportunity to bash President Bush, no matter the topic.

[ApesForEvolution]

Hagel is a globalist scum bag that will, guaranteed, be a prominent GOPer in the primaries heading into the 2008 POTUS election.

And I'm sure we will all be expected to support him if he's nominated.

[ApesForEvolution]

Exactly.

[My2Cents]

Hard to believe, but he sounds worse than McCain.

[NeoCaveman]

Sen. Chuck Hagel, (R-France).

You beat me to that.

[Digger]

I have for years told my Nebraska friends that he was scum. My opinion is that he's a big One World Order nut, a guy who moved to Nebr from some Eastern area. He's got a sweet deal with the Omaha World Herald involving an voting election results company. I'm close at what I'm saying but need to check out more throughly. Bottom line - SCUM. And another cog in this "Two-Party Cartel".

[OpusatFR]

He's only second to Mary Bono and some other nitwit rapping about music downloads on CNN. Dear heavens. We are completely doomed with these critters.

My kid says there is no such thing as Democrats and Republicans. There ae only Socialists and Communists. I think he's right.

[Bob Eimiller]

He isn't just "scum" ... When he answeres a question he has to clarify the question by repeating it somewhat so he can think... then his answer becomes completely incoherent.

This man is a true mental midget.

[Wolfstar]

Yep, and he's well on his way to making the same mistake John McCain did, which is to forget who the base of the Republican Party is.

[Capt. Tom]

He is home grown.

Hagel served in Vietnam with his brother Tom in 1968. They served side by side as infantry squad leaders with the U.S. Army's 9th Infantry Division. Hagel earned many military decorations and honors, including two Purple Hearts.

A fourth generation Nebraskan, Hagel was born in North Platte, Nebraska on October 4, 1946. He graduated from St. Bonaventure High School, Columbus, Nebraska, the Brown Institute for Radio and Television, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Hagel and his wife, Lilibet, have two children, daughter Allyn, 12, and son Ziller, 10.

[Bahbah]

I think you can add Richard Lugar to the Hagel camp.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

I watched as the CNN info-babe introduced them as the ranking Democrat and a Republican Senator.

They always defer to the Democrat.

Hagel is a RIT............

RINO in training!

[Bob Eimiller]

Wolfstar... I think he's really just very VERY Stupid...

Just my observation after seeing this character in action... the last "air head" token Republic switched...and became a liberal----> Ariana Huffington... she never made any sense either and was the media "Republican darling" for debate.. Hagel is in the same category... This man is painfully DUMB!

He will get LOTS of Airtime.

[Finalapproach29er]

His life peaked in the early 1970's. It been downhill ever since. Fighting in Vietnam doesn't make them good or worthy politicians. They should be selling insurance.

[Bob Eimiller]

is one purple heart from a HEAD INJURY? Being a Vietnam Vet shouldn't be criteria for service in the Senate of the United States... take a look at the vet corp there..McCain, Kerry... at least Georgia woke up in the last election.

[hole_n_one]

Was this shown on tonight's edition of NewsHour with Jim Lehrer?

[csvset]

I did a Google search on this guy and at the top of the page it says, "Hagel presses Bush on Iraq WMD."

What a chump.

[hole_n_one]

I'll ask again........

Was this shown on tonight's edition of NewsHour with Jim Lehrer?

It's not that tough a question.

[FryingPan101]

"Hey Nebraska... DUMP THIS GUY! PLEASE!"

Ditto....and take Coach Solich with him.....and let Tom Osborne be elected Senator AND coach the Huskers!

[Wild Irish Rogue]

" Was this shown on tonight's edition of NewsHour with Jim Lehrer?"

Yes. If watching at dinner time,it will cause indigestion.

[hole_n_one]

Thanks!

[yhwhsman]

I have yet to see anyone run who would be an improvement over Hagel, they're either 'more of the same' or worse than he is. I knew he was a flake when he sent me his yearly update and spewed the lie that 100,000 had been ethnically cleansed in Bosnia.

And when Solich fired a bunch of coaches last year, he should have looked in the mirror and fired one more.

Yhwhsman

[caisson71]

Hey, easy on the 9th Division. I was was there too, during Tet and I don't remember idiots like that surviving.

[joesnuffy]

"Old Reliables" Pass In Review

[caisson71]

Eyes right!!!

[Bob Eimiller]

I left for a couple of hours... yes... Jim Lehrer's News Hour.

[Verginius Rufus]

I believe Hagel was one of those Bush considered for the V.P. slot in 2000. That he wasn't selected testifies to Bush's good judgment.

[ApesForEvolution]

WADR, I don't believe either one ever forget WHO the base is: they both know EXACTLY who the activists and movers are at the grass roots level and DESPISE us.

Both are RINOs that run the line enough to be viable in their home states but veer wild left to make a national presence - both are focused on winning the center and running from the center.

Not a single principle between them; it's ALL about POWER baby.

[ApesForEvolution]

"And when Solich fired a bunch of coaches last year, he should have looked in the mirror and fired one more."

LOL! Ain't that the truth.

[jagrmeister]

What you have to understand with Hagel is that he relishes the approbation of the establishment media (one female reporter wrote about having a crush on him). Every time Hagel attacks the Bush Administration, he gets a bone from the NY Times, the network news, etc. and he laps it up. He's a shell-shocked wimp that bends over every time the left-wing media asks him to. If Hagel doesn't have the backbone to stand up to the Left, he should relinquish his post and let someone else step up.

[Bob Eimiller]

I understand your statement about the slug that he is... he enjoys lapping up the adulation of the left wing media, but...

it's his vacuous mind! The man has difficulty upstairs... he can't put two coherent sentences together and present a complete thought.

The man has the mental acumen of Sean Penn. The liberal media have their "Republican" ...They must be thrilled!

He's more than willing to contradict Bush policy... You can see it in the interviewers eyes.... he's so dumb he's a perfect stooge for their "Balanced" debate.

[Jhensy]

Yesterday, Katie Couric went into her "GOP doom" face during an interview with a U.S. rep in Iraq, and she announced, "even a Republican senator is now questioning the policy of this administration...." and I immediately thought to myself, " I'll bet it's that Hagel guy again..."

Sure enough, "Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska...."

[Bob Eimiller]

The radical left wing media just love this guy...I'm sure we are going to see him atleast 2 or 3 times a week now... expect him to be on the today show, CNN, ABC, and NBC on the Sunday morning line up.

He is the new McCain...they will milk him for all he's worth.

[Rodney King]

He's a closet Nebraskan. I have personal knowledge that he prowls with the Greenwich, CT millionaire RINO crowd.

[Rodney King]

Woops. Not closet Nebraskan. Closet New Englander at heart I mean.

[Sonny M]

I suspect he wants to run for president in '04, but knows he hasn't got a snowball's chance. So he's setting himself up for '08 by "separating" himself from the current incumbent.

Your half right. The other half is that he's bitter. He was supposed to be named VP on the ticket. Rove liked him alot. Dick Cheney interviewed him, and it looked all good.....until Dick Cheney named himself.

Hagel went ballistic, even worse, he bought up a bunch of Bush and Hagel domain names, and to this day still holds a grudge...scary, he almost became Vice President.

[Sonny M]

I believe Hagel was one of those Bush considered for the V.P. slot in 2000. That he wasn't selected testifies to Bush's good judgment.

Not exactley, Bush liked Cheney, and Cheney was the one who ran the selection committee to find the VP canidate. Naming himself the best man for the job after doing all the interviews infuriated Karl Rove, Rove lost that battle and moved on. Tom Ridge was the next pick after Hagel.

There are some ethical questions about running a committee to find a guy, doing interviews, getting dirt, and then naming yourself best man, never the less, I like Dick Cheney and think he was the best man for the VP slot, though deep down I would have prefferred somone like Watts. Young, charasmatic, staunch conservative, and fiery debater.

[Wolfstar]

Didn't know that about Hagel. Thanks for the insight. No wonder he and McCain were (still are ?) buddies. But Hagel is also making the same mistake McCain made, which is that he's alienating himself from the Republican base.

[Sonny M]

But Hagel is also making the same mistake McCain made, which is that he's alienating himself from the Republican base.

Him and McCain are good friends due to both having served in Vietnam. Hagel is one of those people who is trying to be both independent, and yet also very conservative. Its a hard mix to be a conservative and stand out if your not in a big high profile leadership position.

He has pulled it off in the past, I remember when he came back from Kyoto summit, before (either gore or clinton, whichever one went) they did, he was back first, and the first thing he said, ahead of anybody was that the kyoto treaty was dead, and would never be ratified in congress. Things like that are good, things like bashing Bush are stupid, if your going to attack him, then come from his right, then you can still be independent and conservative, but you might not get as much air time with the liberal media.

[Bob Eimiller]

I don't care which philosophical side of President Bush he comes from... in fact..I don't think you could tell if he was coming from the right... the man is so vacuous, he's impossible to to comprehend.. he will always agree with his Democrat opponent who will always be systematically and politically demonizing every administration decision or initiative.

When this man speaks... "bubbles" might as well be coming out of his mouth... that's about the equivalent value of his vacant babbling. Where is Lawrence Welk when you need him!!! (that's a joke flamers...)

Hagel is almost pathetic... I have heard more wisdom from the local drunk on a binge than this so called "public servant"!!?? Sheesh!!

[Bob Eimiller]

Cheney didn't select himself.. he was a surprised as anyone.

[Ann Archy]

He is indeed a mental midget and a SOURPUSS to boot! He won't get ANYWHERE in Republican primaries....we like people who have a GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR...HE HAS NONE!!

[Ann Archy]

Sorry, ut I don't think Bush EVER considered Hagel for VP...he's pro choice and he brigs NOTHING to the table....NOTHING. Bush is a great leader that picks super people for high jobs.

That had to be a media hype.....just like Lieberman was a media hype that forcedGore to name him. The media announced Joey was picked early in the morning, but according to Joey, Gore didn't call him until LUNCH to tell him!!! HAHAHAHAHAH The media actually pcked Gore's running mate and Gorey was stuck. Priceless!!

[OldFriend]

WOW....go to google.com and type in Senator Hagel and read all about his ownership in the company that counts votes.......an ownership which he has tried to conceal.

[OldFriend]

McCain is no longer the media darling. He wrote an editorial defending the President on Weapons of Mass Destruction.

[gaspar]

Well put. Great politicians have a great sense of humor (Reagan, Roosevelts (2), Lincoln). People like Hagel, McCain, and Lugar, the doofus from Indiana, take themselves much much too seriously. They are a drag on the Republican Party. On the other hand, its hard to think of one Democrat who would be worth knowing.

[c-b 1]

RINO in training!

No Hagel is an accomplished RINO Globalist.
