What could I say but (other than dude, I'm a Native Cascadian, I don't have a "country") "well Bill, if you don't like it here you're certainly welcome to leave!"Ten Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594307610015584119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-62310592268838974152013-02-01T06:51:05.550-05:002013-02-01T06:51:05.550-05:00Yup, Republicans don't care about policy - it&...Yup, Republicans don't care about policy - it's ALL about politics.<br /><br />And, uhm...<br />Hagel's up for SoD, NOT SoS!<br />So, a lot of questions were (no surprise) really stupid.<br /><br />It's President Obama who'll be setting policy. <br />John Kerry will be negotiating with other countries, putting Obama's international policies in place, and representing America.<br />And SoD's job, is to oversee our military, deal with Congress, the military contractors, the budget, adjoining agencies and departments, and making sure our military is ready if, or when, it's needed.<br /><br />Imo - McCain disgraced himself. He looked like he's fully embraced his role as an angry old foof. He thought he was playing a DA on a C-SPAN detective series yesterday.<br /><br />Now, I'm not the greatest Hagel fan in the world, but I trust his knowledge, judgement, and abilities a hell of a lot more than those of Johnny McCain, "America's Shittiest Fighter Pilot."<br />There were many reasons "The Surge" wasn't the disaster it could have been. Hectoring Hagel over whether he was right about it, by one of the most war-loving Senators, and supporters of Bush's Follies, foreign and domestic, was grandstanding of the best and worst.<br /><br />You lost, Senator McCain. <br />Big-time!!!<br />And worse, you inflicted Sarah Palin on us. And I don't think we're done with that grifting Klondike Klown. <br /><br />She, your incompetence, your anger, and your loss to President Obama, are the legacy you'll leave behind.<br /><br />In other news, Ed Koch, former Mayor of NY City, has died, at age 88.<br /><br />Love him or hate him, that guy LOOOOOVED NY!<br />He was funny, goofy, stubborm, witty, obnoxious, smart, and a whole gamut of other things - often in the same day. Hell, often in the same HOUR!<br /><br />R.I.P. Mayor Ed Koch.<br />You'll be missed.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.com
