Strange, isn’t it? As we reported earlier, Senator Cruz shredded Chuck Hagel during his Secretary of Defense hearing. Members of the media were not pleased. How dare he question a choice of The One?
Suddenly Hagel's fundamental dimness and ignorance of facts and issues is rather charming, in a homespun Jimmy Stewart manner.

Precisely. But Sarah Palin is totally stupid, right lapdogs? Ace then takes on Hagel’s anti-Israel beliefs, which lapdogs in the media also cover up.
And all this talk about Hagel's anti-Israel stances obscures something important: He's straight-up lying, too http://t.co/fsiAcdZN

Yes. Where are the reports on that claim, lapdogs? Senator Harry Reid’s claim of talking to some guy who knew a girl who was the brother of a man who said that Romney didn’t pay his taxes was breathlessly reported everywhere.
antisemitism is the socialism of fools such as Chuck Hagel. But let's confirm him, because this would be a Big Win for Obama…

…and that's ALL THE FUCKING MATTERS TO @CHUCKTODD & THE REST OF THE AMEN CHORUS, THE BIG WIN FOR THE HIGH PRIEST

Let's win this for Obama, guys! That's all that matters. Not qualifications, not honesty, not intelligence.

The only two criteria that matter in American politics are "Helps the God-King" or "Thwarts the God-King"

"I'm clearly on the record" regarding Israel's right to exist– Chuck Hagel. Wow. That's his attempt to show his moderate side.

tip for @SharylAttkisson : Maybe interview M.J. Rosenthal, he seems to have some insider information http://t.co/fsiAcdZN

Ace blasts Hagel over another absurd statement.
Hagel: "I wish I had a time machine" http://t.co/MMWuKDoF Genius.

Look, if we're going to appoint Chuck Hagel as SecDef, why don't we just appoint Kenny F'n' Powers as Surgeon General?

Hagel: Obama knows better than to let me make any decisions or to listen to any advice I may offer
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) January 31, 2013
@JeffreyGoldberg oh perfect he's just dumb
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) January 31, 2013
someone should compile up all these Gump-ish statements by Hagel and call it "The Zen of Chuck Hagel"
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) January 31, 2013
The Zen of Hagel: That’s just beautiful. Twitchy compiled a round-up of Hagel absurdities during the disaster of a hearing earlier, and Ace highlights some of the most inane. Believe us, picking out the most inane from Hagel is not easy.

Heh.
Chuck Hagel's as reassuring at this hearing as Shaq sweating at the foul line (stolen joke, forget who, maybe @iamcolinquinn )
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) January 31, 2013
Hagel's just a starry-eyed idealist. He dreams of a world without Jews. (Ripped off from Just Shoot Me.)

If appointed, Chuck Hagel would be the Comic Sans MS of constitutional officers.

Boom! Other happy warriors sum it all up.
lol! #Hagel knows Obama is "committed to treaties." (they're not the same as Rice Krispie Treats)

Hagel, that bumbling turd you saw today, was the Republican the leftist media LOVED and thought was so reasonable and wise. #tcot
— RBe (@RBPundit) January 31, 2013
Now media will spend all day talking about how Cruz took Hagel out of context instead of how Hagel is was a bumbling incoherent mess.
— (((AG))) (@AGHamilton29) January 31, 2013
As if you need any further proof of the media's unwavering support for anything Obama, just watch their current attempts to defend Hagel.

Eager to see the thorough fact-checks on #Hagel testimony from the nation's top #media outlets.

Bingo. As Dana Perino said earlier, nothing will happen. Lapdogs have had good obedience training, you know.
