You can´t make this stuff up. If it weren´t so dangerous it would be hilarious.

We are so blessed by this administration. It just keeps on giving and giving. The Swift Boat Sailor is On Duty.

Reset button anyone?

Really, the only way to describe Kerry & Hagel is "nitwits."
Dangerous, destructive nitwits. But nitwits nonetheless.
Arrogant know-it-all attitudes, enormous egos, unbelievable ignorance of history and economics, anti-semitic bias, elitism, deceitfulness, corruption---yep, that´s them.

He looks horrible lately. The botox has rendered his face an inflated Halloween mask.

Really more like the three stooges.

Hagel,Kerry, Biden.

Regular guy down the street democrats must be SO proud.

This country is becoming suicidal. There are real enemies of America who may be sensing their time to act is finally approaching. Of course Obama will blame Republicans for his inability to respond. I´m sorry, but Kerry, Hagel and Brennan were not offered for their prowess. The frog´s water is now at a slow boil.

I thought Melanie Phillips was pretty much a liberal at heart. Interesting.

The peter principle at work. How these two idiots can find their coat and keys in the morning is amazing. (I am sure kerry has a butler to make sure he remembers to put on socks) Remember you milquetoast unprincipled republicans, you voted for these assclowns too.

the Low Info voters aren´t paying attention but what happens when we lose a city to a suitcase nuke from our muslim buddies? will they still blame Bush? These two morons on the job will do nothing to save us....

I thought from the heading that this was about Obama and Biden, but it all runs down hill.

Melanie tells it like it is. Jean-Francois strikes again and Chuckles Hagel will surely outdo him.

#8´s comment regarding our readiness to handle another attack has a lot of precedence in WWII. Finding Eisenhower in the echelon´s of the U.S/British army officers was a time consuming task and remember that Ike fired or jumped "under" a lot of generals and colonels who couldn´t get going.

Come to think of it, so did President Lincoln.

This administration seems to have trouble finding leaders that can lead but still toe the line. Witness the turn-overs in the Middle East commanders.

Dumb & Dumber.

Biden would be Dumbest.

If you surround yourself with useful idiots, you´re sure to be the smartest person in the room.

All the clowns put forth by this regime in response to an election brought forth by fraud and low information voters are led by an equally inept ring master who has never managed anything.
All put forth by the PT Barnum of our generation Mr Soros.

We are not becoming a laughing stock--we have been one since January, 2009, and it won´t be getting any better anytime soon.
Pray as hard and as often as you know how.

The clown pair of McCain and Graham was saying Hagel shouldn’t be SecDef and so they voted for him anyway. So much for feckless unprincipled Republicans.
By the way what makes these corporals like Hagel and previously that Austrian halfwit think they know so much more about the military than the professionals?

One of the job qualifications to get a job in DC is that you are unqualified for it (Hagel) it also helps if you were a traitor at one time or another (Kerry). I wonder when 0 is nominating Hanoi Jane for the homeland security job.

We get the government we deserve.
And boy are we getting it in spades with this bunch. The tree of liberty is so very much in need of a good watering. The tyrants who rule over us do not fear us, but the time is coming when they will. If we the people do not do something, this great country is gone. Thanks all you low information voters!

OP: I really enjoyed your comment ("A near-Delingpolian critique of SOS Kerry and SOD Hagel.") especially knowing that you speak English. Good on ya!

REpubs must begin a campaign of destroying Obama by advertising the truth about his completely fraudulent character. The general public is simply too stupid to understand complicated issues but they will understand fraud and criminality. Now is the time to speak and repeat many times.

John Kerry? you mean this Kerry in a conversation with Tom Brokaw??--´´I think there has been an exaggeration,´´ he said. ´´They are really misleading all of America, Tom, in a profound way. It´s primarily an intelligence and law enforcement operation.´´ That´s all I need to know. Bush wanted to take the war to the enemies, fight it on their turf. Kerry wanted to do it through ´´law enforcement´´: If the Empire State Building gets blown up, he´ll launch an investigation immediately. It´s not enough. Even if Bush was AWOL 30 years ago, on everything that matters John Kerry is AWOL now.
But now he´s SecState!

The only constant of this regime is their incredible capability to seek out and find the idiots whom they appoint.

Somewhere there must be a placement agency that specializes in morons. Said agency must be getting tons of business from Fauxbama.

Abbott and Costello... comically third rate U.S. gooberment, and Hu´s on first.

er,... Lurch and Uncle Fester.

@5 I´ve seen pictures of him and couldn´t figure what had happened to his face. It didn´t look like something plastic surgery would do, didn´t think about Botox. He was a most handsome man not that long ago. Not talking about his inner ´beauty.´ Now he looks like his face has been hit by something bad.

I´m still trying to figure why the Republican Mutt and Jeff (McPain and Ms. Lindsey) changed their opinion on Hagel. Who made a deposit to their Bermuda bank account?

Not to pick a fight with #19 or any others but we need to have a straight record here.

Juan McLame and Lindsay Gramnesty voted only to let Hagel´s nomination come to the floor. Thus, they dropped the filibuster but said he deserved a full Senate vote, which is fair in the case of a cabinet member. Then, in fairness I must say, they voted AGAINST his actual nomination. In fact, Hagel the Horrible was confirmed by only 58 to 41 --- the lowest percentage vote for SOS in history. Even without the votes of the 4 Republicans who supported him, Hagel would have won anyway. (Louse-in-burg from NJ didn´t even vote!) The only good news is that it is a humiliation to have such a weak show of support for your agenda. Sadly, it is what it is.

Every tragedy must have its Fools for comic relief.

We here in MA and NH know this dolt, Kerry. I laughed when his nomination went through, just pondering the absurdities he would spew... as he always has.

They both WILL embarrass us. The chaotic mess left behind by Hillary will become worse and worse.

Lest we forget...

Morons and mental midgets deserve representation in our Great Gummint, too!

These are Signature Fools who will brand this Badministration for what it really is.

Even the Bamster plagiarizes from Lurch...
"I was for... no, against... the sequester before I was against... no, for... no, against... it."

#10 - as that font of all things British has taught us - that would be a VALET, not a butler. A butler would be insulted to have anything to do with socks. Sheesh!

Sorry, meant to say - Downton Abbey - the font of all things British.

Don´t forget Lew and Brennan - an entire team of idiots.

Wonderful article. Just the first sentence is worth taking the time to read this piece. With these two idiots making decisions regarding our security and other such matters, we have even more reason to shudder. Then, of course, there´s Joe Biden. The analogy of Mutt and Jeff is perfect regarding these two, but The Three Stooges - if you throw him in - come to mind as well.

Let´s face it, in 2008 we knew it was going to be bad. Very bad. End of Days bad.

However, nobody could have predicted that it would be this bad.

G-d save US all. We are imploding from within. The enemy figured out how to bring US down.
