Charles the Prince of Wales and not the washed up blogger tries to reach out to the British public. The man who will never be King and his Un Mata Hari wife took a ride on the London Underground, known as the tube. The ride was in honor of the 150th anniversary of the London Underground (which first opened in 1863).
Charles is washed up and like his name sake has had a nervous breakdown.
Update from Speranza: Anyone who has ever ridden the tube will understand this – “Mind the gap”.
Tags: London, London Tube, Prince Charles
Charles has probably never ridden the bus or underground ever in his life.
I just saw that pig Pat Buchanan defend Hagel on Hannity’s show.

@ Speranza:
That sucks.
Thanks for watching that so I don’t have to.
I don’t think that Hagel will be confirmed.
Outside of being an anti Semite he is single cell
life form stupid.

Au contraire mon ami, all the Democrats and some Republicans will vote for him. You can bet the rent that he will be confirmed.

Buchanan had Bill Richardson agreeing with him. Richardson actually said that Hannity should like Hagel and one of the reasons is that Hagel is from Nebraska. I suppose that means that the Cornhusker State is a Bible belt state.
It takes 2/3 to confirm. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think that
he makes it.

I would not put it passed McCain after he expresses some doubts will say “I think President Obama should have the right to pick his Sec of Defense so I will reluctantly vote for my good friend Chuck Hagel but I can assure you that we will carefully watch the Pentagon to make sure that our friendship with Israel is maintained”.
I heard that. Being from Nebraska is good enough for me./
RIX wrote:
Yeah that seals the deal for me too. Where do I vote to confirm him? //
If McCain folds, then Hagel is confirmed.
I don’t think that McCain will.

The man has a “fold here” dotted line across his midsection.
Yeah , Nebraska sealed the deal for me./

Birds of a feather!
@ Speranza:
That’s what Richardson meant.
In hear ya, but this time In think that McCain is all in.
He was really tough on Hagel & did not get any answers.
We’ll see.
I thought when I first read the title that Chunky Cheetos had gone back to Hawaii and was surfing the Pipeline.

Did they talk about the Boy Scouts?

I want to know why no one had the balls to question Kerry this way. The man committed freaking treason. He has also been working for the communist cause since that treason.
Bingo! It is a disgrace that Kerry got to be a Congressman, a Senator and
now Sec of Defense.
He committed text book treason & should have done jail time.

Yup, they should have raked him over the coals.

No but they mentioned that Hagel is a social conservative. What the hell does that matter in the Secretary of Defense?
Good night all.
Speranza wrote:
Not one damn thing.
@ Mars:
It’s not like the POTUS is socially conservative, it means as much (the Sec. of Defense being socially conservative) as the Postmaster General being socially conservative.

Yep.

Me too when I saw that headline.
Listening to Miss Lindsey Graham verbally strip Hagel on the question of Senators being forced to do stupid things and/or intimidated by the “Jewish or Israeli lobby” -- I almost felt sorry for the Chuckster.

Maybe the stress will cause him to have major digestive distress and he will have to decline.

Hey if he can win in New Jersey I say go for it. I want to retake the Senate. I would be under no illusions that he is conservative which is Ok by me because New Jersey is a Democratic state. Another benefit would be that he would have to leave Fox. A Ted Cruz type running in N.J. would never make it.

They will blame it all on the Joooos. I wish they would emphasize Hagel’s dangerous ideas about the American military.

In that circumstance I guess I could take it. There’s just so much about him I loathe.

No joke there. For some reason that seems largely verboten. Just like Kerry’s treason.

I’ve noticed the local radio deejays using Alex Jones quotes to pretty much sum up supporters of the Second Amendment.

You’re thinking of treaty ratification. Confirmations only require a simple majority.
First thing he’s said that I agree with.

I can just imagine that conversation:
Hagel: “Mr President, I don’t feel that I’m qualified for the job.”
Obama (laughs hysterically): “What, like I am?”

Pat Buchanan defended the Serbs back in the day. That was his only redeeming feature.
Chuck Hagel was a big shill for bombing the Serbs.

That is one thing we need a Constitutional amendment to change.
Treaty ratifications should be upped to a 3/4 majority, and confirmations should be upped to a 2/3 majority.
@ 1389AD:
Seems like they were under Bush. Remember all the judicial appointees that the dems wouldn’t release even when the republicans had the majority?

That was because the D’Rats were filibustering Bush’s judicial appointees. I doubt the GOPee has the backbone to return the favor.
The funny thing is that “advice and consent” is only specifically spelled out for treaties.

No. Only the “two thirds” is for treaties, the “advice and consent” applies to everything listed.

Nope, not one among ‘em. Well, maybe Cruz.
Hagel is in. You don’t have to like it, but you do need to recognize reality. The hearings are just Kibuki Theatre.
Good morning everyone. Time to finish off the week and the small bits of exploration. Think I am ready to tackle January now.
@ Mike C.:
Yeah, Hagel is in. He’ll get 54 Democrat votes, and that’s all he needs. He’ll probably draw a couple of Republican votes to make it “bi-partisan”, too. They’ll want to be collegial to their former colleague.

From Hitler to Hagel, Pat never met an antisemite he didn’t like.
