A Leader of One

Here, CNN calls Chuck Hagel a "leading" U.S. senator. Yes, he's a leader . . . of an army of one. CNN's honorific, of course, is only to try to dramatize the fact that, once again, Hagel is taking the president to task in an effort to draw attention to himself.

If he really thinks he's going to have a snowball's chance of winning a Republican presidential nomination, he's been drinking something stronger than Mel Gibson has.
