Is it just me, or did Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel jack John McCain's "maverick," busting heads with your own party angle , years ago? Ever since McCain cuddled up to Georgie Porgie in hopes of tricking the party base into liking him, that whole "maverick/Country First" label reads more like "party capitulator/McCain First."

I love how Chuck Hagel is always running around pretending to be courageous by bashing president Bush and republicans. It’s only courageous when you’re actually a member of the party you’re bashing. Hagel was written off by most republicans years ago when he joined with the cowardly democrats against the Iraq war. The reality is that Hagel’s been auditioning for a prime spot in an Obama administration for at least 2 years. Which is why the Bush bashing, Limbaugh bashing, and general republican bashing he engaged in today rings so damn hollow. I find people like Hagel particularly distasteful in the same way I ...
