At the tag end of an interesting look ["Nosy Democrats"] at Jay Rockefeller actually looking good - in comparison to other Senate Donk skunks-  is this observation by Prowler.

"Sen. Chuck Hagel, who has been an obvious waffler on Bolton, is seeing his 2008 Presidential aspirations skittering away. Once thought to be a solid conservative, Hagel, with his penchant for aping his buddy Sen. John McCain's antics and rebel political positions, is angering a base that consisted of strong-defense conservatives."

I sort of pride myself on knowing who the Senate jerkoffs are, actually I keep track of who the jerkoffs ain't, 'cause it's a much shorter list, so when Hagel started publicly pounding his pud last year, I was taken aback.  Is that what it was about?  Hagel being so stupid that he thought being more like John McCain would enhance his chances for the presidency (as a Republican)?  Sheesh.  No matter, I have a better chance of getting the GOP nomination than either McCain or Hagel.  Ain't this a great country?  I'm serious.  All that political power at work there, and me, with a budget of  about $100 a year, being able to know with 100% certainty that McCain and Hagel cannot possibly get the nomination?  I'm giddy.  Someone tell them for me.
