Chuck Hagel on Impeachment

The rhetoric sounds good. I just wonder if Chuck Hagel is serious.


"The president says, 'I don't care.' He's not accountable anymore," Hagel says, measuring his words by the syllable and his syllables almost by the letter. "He's not accountable anymore, which isn't totally true. You can impeach him, and before this is over, you might see calls for his impeachment. I don't know. It depends how this goes."


This part I agree with 100 percent.


"Congress abdicated its oversight responsibility," he says. "The press abdicated its responsibility, and the American people abdicated their responsibilities. Terror was on the minds of everyone, and nobody questioned anything, quite frankly."


Right now Hagel's interview sounds like bluster. It is still nice to hear that bluster come from Bush's party.

Hat tip to Brad Friedman.
