1. I would vote for that ticket either way JB/CH or CH/JB

More knowledge, experience, common sense in those two than the rest of the fields combined.

2. Apparently he does this every year. He's done McCain and Colin Powell--

now, how would he pull off Powell? Without being offensive, at least--LOL!

[Ian David]

5. To dress aas Colin Powell, you put on a General's uniform...

and wear George W. Bush's ass on your head.

6. DUZY!!

:rofl:

[madokie]

3. that would be a ticket I could support

[JerseygirlCT]

18. Well, half of it, anyway

Hagel, despite being right on the war, is wrong on just about everything else.

[GardeningGal]

4. That's pretty funny.

Biden looks like he thought so too.

[qanda]

7. Good to see some good-natured humor

Looks like Biden enjoyed it.

[tridim]

8. Good thing Hagel has the shirt, because the mask looks like David Duke.

9. Anybody else thinking it's interesting that he's done this for a Democrat? I know

they're friends, but is that 'politically correct'? Does is MEAN anything? (I'm hoping here, as I'm sure you can tell.)

[tridim]

11. I think it's interesting that ol Normie Coleman is in the background laughing..

He won't be in a year. :evilgrin:

[mmonk]

10. What a hoot.

That's pretty good.

Think Progress:Hagel Suggests Possibility Of Bush Impeachment: ‘He’s Not Accountable Anymore’


. . . . . http://thinkprogress.org/2007/03/06/hagel-impeachment/




Hagel is retiring, running neither for president nor Senate.

He was considered an ally of McCain back in the days when McCain was considered a maverick, but has split with him on Iraq. Admiration for Powell & Biden, (and other Democrats) is consistent with Hagel's positions. Before Iraq was an issue, Hagel supported McCain's presidential candidacy. Hagel may well have supported Powell, had he chosen to run. He has not made this kind of joke regarding anyone whom he has not been willing to support, or actually did support, for president.... Is Hagel coming out for Biden?

Why would a retiring Republican, repulsed by his party, be making statements about IMPEACHMENT and about HOW THE GOP PLANS TO RUN ON "FEAR & TERRORISM" (yet) AGAIN?

It's obvious Hagel is diametrically opposed to the foreign policy of ALL of the GOP candidates, save one (& Paul has not the slightest chance of receiving the GOP nomination, but could run as libertarian, or otherwise).

How could Hagel support the GOP ticket in 2008?

Can he even stand to keep his mouth shut?

The rumors of "Bloomberg/Hagel" seem to be headed nowhere.

Hagel is smart, and may well realize the destructive, and counterproductive, effect of a third party candidacy.

Will Chuck Hagel support Joe Biden, or whoever the Democratic nominee is?

[TwilightGardener]

13. Bill Maher tried to pin him down on whether he'd support the Dem nominee--

Hagel said he'd have to see who the nominees are, which is pretty telling--what Repub Senator would ever acknowledge the possibility of voting for the Democrat? So he's pretty far gone. However, I'll bet he won't endorse--he's unemployed after December 2008, and would probably appreciate a job with the next administration, whoever wins.

[Faryn Balyncd]

14. Hagel's chance of a job in a Giuliani or Romney administration (or ANY GOP administration) are zero.

(perhaps "... approach zero" would be less hyperbolic.)

[TwilightGardener]

15. Rudy--no way--he's a neocon nutbag. Romney is a possibility, though.

[gateley]

16. On the video of this when Hagel says "Biden for President!" Biden said, -- tell

you what - Hagel for Vice President!

Joking around aside, if a situation like that were to arise -- would the republican have to switch parties -- or is it possible to have a Dem prez and a Rep VP?

Just continuing my civics lesson - thanks.

17. Senators from opposite sides of the aisle acting like friends and colleagues?

How do they ever expect to win anything that way? :sarcasm:
