Hagel
The worst problem with Chuck Hagel as a possible Secretary of Defense is not that his positions on issues during his time as a senator were consistently wrong, wrong-headed, and cheaply motivated; and it’s not that he’s anti-Israel; it’s that he is actively stupid. His face is Neanderthal-like, his eyes disturbingly void of intelligence. I can only think that if Obama picks him it will be for the same reason that Obama does most of the things he does: he wants to hurt the United States.
