Man's Man

Chuck Hagel seems to save his best stuff for men’s magazines. He told GQ that the White House’s original draft of the 2002 Iraq resolution was a blank check to invade everybody before he and fellow senators rewrote it.

Now in Esquire he has uttered the dreaded “I” word. Saying that Bush is “not accountable anymore,” Hagel adds, “before this is over you might see calls for his impeachment.”

On Monday the Senator is expected to announce he is running for President, finally giving voters a Republican candidate who wants to stop the war.

A word of advice from an admirer: Think twice before giving an interview to Playboy.
