SO HOW’D THAT HAGEL HEARING GO? “It is very clear from the testimony that Sen. Hagel will not be bringing the potato salad to the next Mensa picnic.” And that’s from a Democrat. . . .

UPDATE: Prof. Stephen Clark writes on Ted Cruz: “Note Powerline’s take on Cruz’s cross-examination of Hagel and remind yourself that the Republican establishment didn’t want Cruz.” Yeah, they didn’t want Marco Rubio either, remember.
