bob corker (R-asshole) questions chuck hagel's temperament....'although he doesn't know him well'

[spanone]

Another Republican senator, Bob Corker of Tennessee, appeared to open a new front on Sunday against of Mr. Hagel, saying that he had questions about his “overall temperament.”

Mr. Corker, who is not on the Armed Services Committee and said that he did not know Mr. Hagel well, offered little elaboration. But he said that there were “numbers of staffers who are coming forth now just talking about the way he has dealt with them.” He was speaking on the ABC News program “This Week.”

Mr. Corker’s seemed to suggest that he considered Mr. Hagel – who has a reputation for speaking his mind – overbearing or erratic.

1. Then they should welcome him with open arms...as

the GOP has become overbearing and erratic, as well.

There is no one they would approve of as long as Obama appoints them. They are one sick bunch of dysfunctionals.

2. Did anyone think the GOP/Neocon crowd was just going to give up?

This smear was initially distributed by the Washington Free Beacon, a Bill Kristol production.
