Senator Hagel Comedian Maher

Comments from Left Field has this exchange from part of an interview when Senator Hagel appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher.

How can anybody say

Hagel: Well, I would have to look at my choices. Uh, but um, I think this war policy, where we are today and the continuation of this policy is the biggest foreign policy blunder in the history of our country and we’re going to pay a very high price for it.

and not be voting to end this carnage ! ! This is not a question but a statement of severe frustration on my part.

Senator Hagel may be a lot of things, but stupid is not one of them. Why did he say this and why has he voted to support the killing and maiming of tens of thousands of U.S. citizens and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens?

And where is the MSM on this? This should be 144 point type on every newspaper in the country. Where in the European media on this? Is everybody asleep?

Or does it not purport to what a Republican Senator is supposed to say, so there must be some kind of mistake?
