Sen. Hagel Fires at Large Gas Balloon
Republican Senator Chuck Hagel (Nebraska) is feeling more comfortable expressing his opinions of late, now that's he's retiring from the Senate. Huffington Post has this piece on what Hagel had to say about his own party and one particularly gaseous, self-described "water carrier" for the Rethugs: Rush "Pills" Limbaugh. Here's what Hagel's take on Limpballs was:
"We are educated by the great entertainers like Rush Limbaugh...[The truth is] they try to rip everyone down and make fools of everybody, but they don't have any answers."
First, let me say, "Hey, that's our m.o., too!" But more seriously, we hope Sen. Hagel has a large mailbox, because just like others who have run afoul of the crackpot right's hegemony, he should expect to get a blimpful of hate mail from Rush's "dittoheads."
