I'm afraid that Hagel may turn out to be the Perot of 2008. He's definitely barmy enough.

"HAGEL FOR AMBASSADOR TO ANTARTICA!"

You hate penguins THAT much ?

The last poll I saw showed Chuck pulling in a tenuous 1%. Looks like that Bush bashing has paid off in a major way, huh @$$hat Hagel?

Hagel is just another liberal. He needs to join the RAT party, because that's where he belongs!!

[Verginius Rufus]

I have a vague recollection of a column by the San Francisco Chronicle parody writer Art Hoppe (1925-2000) who was proposing starting up some group and realized that they needed someone to hate, so he picked Antarcticans (penguins).

Was that among Republicans or Independents? I read something that suggested he might go Independent.

Hagel/Schmegel - yawn, yawn.

[Gopher Broke]

Tell Hagel how much he is wrong...first for suggesting impeachment, then for voting with the Democrats to force a surrender date in Iraq....

Just did! Felt good.

Did the same but it doesn't release the anger I feel. I think the lousy #astard is going to run as an independent. His sole purpose will be to defeat the Republican party. He'll draw some independents and some wrong thinking supposed conservative (Buchanan types). I think he is a sick SOB.
