Born at the Crest of the Empire

Apparrently, Lincoln Chafee was the block. Let's take a minute to praise the soon to be ex-Senator from Rhode Island.

And Hagel chimes in with the best political quote I've seen this week.

When asked whether he thinks Bolton is the right man for the job, Hagel would only say: "I'm going to vote for him."

that's so "presidential", isn't it?

man, i hate that party.

Yeah. I could just hear him making that comment through gritted teeth.

I genuinely like Hagel but it's shit like voting for Bolton even though he knows Bolton is unqualified and crazy that makes me realize he's just another politician who puts party above principle.

Yeah, it's always tricky because I don't think you can become a Senator unless you have that in your character.

There's a reason that Senators generally don't get elected president.

Also, I keep wondering how hard the establishment in Iran is laughing. This vote is about a week before Bush is expected to address the UN. Whose idea was it to put this up before that event.
