"She doesn't have any foreign policy credentials," Hagel said Wednesday in an interview. "You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don't know what you can say. You can't say anything."This is gonna make things awkwaaaaaaaard between Hagel and McCain at the next GOP Congressional Pancake Breakfast and Waffle Symposium. Increased even moreso because Hagel was going to be Duke of Syrups and McCain the Baron of Butters. They'll meet over John Thune's Waffles with the Canadian Maple and apple butter and it'll just be soooo tense.

"I think they ought to be just honest about it and stop the nonsense about, 'I look out my window and I see Russia and so therefore I know something about Russia,'" he said. "That kind of thing is insulting to the American people."

So is Palin qualified to be president?
"I think it's a stretch to, in any way, to say that she's got the experience to be president of the United States," Hagel said.
But at least Hagel's man enough to admit it. It's just sad to see these campaign flacks go out and definitively state that Palin has the necessary experience because Russia is kinda close to Alaska. If only Tina Fey's SNL sketch declaration of "I can see Russia from my house" were an actual attempt at parody.
The same goes for the declarations by McCain that Palin is the most qualified person on energy in the country. An expert on energy wouldn't bungle the percentage of energy the state she runs produces. It's 2.4% Sarah, not 20%. Making sure the pipeline still works and the check from the oil company cleared doesn't exactly put you up against, you know, energy scientists, engineers, and policy experts.
Listen to Chuck, half your lies wouldn't be lies if you didn't feel the need to inflate the resume of the person old man river put on the ticket. You could stick to your main issues: lying about the policy stuff you and the Muslim guy plan. In any event it's less lies to remember.
