This one agrees with us on Hagel: Hagel will travel to Iraq with Obama By Beldar on Politics (2008) Last year, I wrote of Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE): It's not that I think he's unpatriotic. It's that I think he's too stupid to be left alone in a room with a book of matches. So to demonstrate his bipartisan bona fides, and to illustrate his willingness to seek wisdom and judgment from across the aisle as well as from MoveOn.org his own party caucuses, Sen. Chuck Hagel demonstrates his counting ability for the press who has the Chosen One selected to accompany him on his historic fact-finding tour to Iraq? Yes, in addition to a reliable piece of deadwood from his own party who can be guaranteed not to outshine the star of the trip, Obama has chosen the Republican senator whose own amply demonstrated past bad judgment about the Iraq war most closely duplicates Obama's own. It's a pity that Bozo the Clown died, but in all likelihood, Obama will be happier with Bozo the Senator along anyway. If Obama's still cadging cigarettes in secret on this trip, however, let's hope, for the safety of everyone around them, that he keeps the matches or cigarette lighters safely out of Hagel's reach.
