When even your own party can't stand the smell

Bill Maher: Isn’t a dirty trick on the American people when you send a military man out there to basically do a political sell-job?”

Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE): It’s not only a dirty trick, but it’s dishonest, it’s hypocritical, it’s dangerous and irresponsible. The fact is this is not Petraeus’ policy, it’s the Bush’s policy. The military is — certainly very clear in the Constitution — is subservient to the elected public officials of this country.. but to put our military in a position that this administration has put them in is just wrong, and it’s dangerous.”
