Understanding Chuck Hagel In One Simple Paragraph
Mark Noonan provides perhaps the best synopsis of Chuck Hagel's Senate career ever written:
The only thing I can figure about Hagel is that once upon a time he must have counted up how many Republicans and how many Democrats there are in Nebraska and decided that "Republican" was the way to go for a man with political ambitions in his State. Other than that, there's no way to explain the way he's been nothing but a bother to the GOP - never sticking with us, and always playing up to the most anti-GOP elements in the MSM.
