Former Republican Senator and Obama's Defense Secretary nominee Chuck Hagel may not be cut out for all this. And really, who is? Obviously, any Democrat the president might nominate would be persona non, because Barack Nobummer is being partisan by nominating Democrats. But any Republican the Kenyan usurper might nominate is also persona non, because if you were nominated by Barack Obama you can by definition no longer be Republican. Why, no sooner had the president nominated a Republican to head the Department of Defense than Sen. John McCain released a statement saying he had "serious concerns." Let us try to determine, together, who might be acceptable to Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and whatsername , "where's the girl."
John McCain.
John McCain.
Sarah Palin.
Erwin Rommel.
Roberto D'Aubuisson.
John McCain.
Genius! ... They would go crazy, but would have to phrase things carefully; Krugman is an economist, so ... math (can be a silver bullet around those folks. and not just arithmetic; words like "polynomial" and such).
I would too, but the hysteria will be bad enough with Hagel. Especially since I believe he is going to have to enact spending cuts.
