Besides Hagel being just as much of an utter joke as Lurch, it's peculiar how fervently McRINO can seemingly put up a 'fight' when it comes down to upholding or defending one of his personal ideals...
...to bad he can't genuinely FIGHT with, at the very least, equal fervor for the principles of conservatism.
ADDENDUM: And here's more Chuck Hagel "I didn't mean to say that" laughs...
Actually, let's substitute 'laughs' for 'facepalms'. Sheesh. Unfortunately, this train wreck will be confirmed as our next Secretary of Defense.
