By BaxterIt's time to confess: We cats have always had a soft spot for Senator Chuck Hagel. We've harbored fantasies of curling up and purring in his lap. Yes, we know, he's a Republican. But he's so darned attractive.
And now we know our secret admiration is justified. Senator Hagel came out the other day and just flat-out said what we suspect a ton of other, far-less-courageous Republicans — Mitt Romney? Mike Huckabee? Sam Brownback? Jeb Bush? Rudolf Giuliani? — must be thinking.
“I think it's a stretch to, in any way, to say that [Sarah Palin's] got the experience to be President of the United States. She doesn't have any foreign policy credentials. You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I think they ought to be just honest about it and stop the nonsense about, 'I look out my window and I see Russia and so therefore I know something about Russia.’ That kind of thing is insulting to the American people.”
Of course, we allow that Senator Hagel has the luxury of boldness because he's not seeking re-election. By contrast, the above-listed gentlemen — and we use that term advisedly — surely are all still planning to run for President and are probably furious that Senator McCain elevated an empty-headed, fanatical nobody to inherit the party mantle should he lose.
Oh, well, that's their problem. In the meantime, we PURR at Senator Hagel and look forward to a possible role for him in an Obama-Biden Administration. Paws crossed.
