Nothing in the Will Article mentions Chuck Hagel.
Chuck Hagel is a personal friend of my dad's. He was his neighbor before he went to Washington and they still talk.
The 2000 Primaries made Chuck a little goofy. He was one of the few people that thinks "McCain, right or wrong" and when McCain came off a little too unstable for the primary voters, I think Chuck blames Bush and Bush's people for this, rather than admitting to himself McCain doesn't have the tempermant to be president at this point in his life. People hold grudges, it's human nature. Senators blame other politians for negative opinions about them. It's human senator nature.
Chuck is a great guy and I'm sure so is McCain, but do not get between them and a TV camera. You will get crushed in the stampede. Also, they are politicians and the world is all just politics to them. They are above the laws they write for us little people.
Hillary Clinton can say in one breathe Bush is threat to life on earth, then vote with him on almost every bill in congress. They say and do what they think will get them elected next time. In Hillary Clinton's case, she sides with Bush to garner male voters, for Hagel, he spouts democrat rhetoric because he thinks he's immune to republican critisism. Maybe he is.
Or maybe Karl Rove will make it so we form a negative opinion about him and he loses in the primary to a Bush supporter
