Hagel hints at impeachement

Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) is considering a presidential run. He has no chance of winning, he won't be the nominees vice presidential pick, and if a Republican prevails in '08, Hagel won't get a cabinet position or a plum ambassadorship.

A frequent Bush critic, Hagel is now dropping impeachment hints.

From AP:

GOP Sen. Chuck Hagel (news, bio, voting record) of Nebraska, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a frequent critic of the war, stopped short of calling for Bush's impeachment. But he made clear that some lawmakers viewed that as an option should Bush choose to push ahead despite public sentiment against the war.

"Any president who says, I don't care, or I will not respond to what the people of this country are saying about Iraq or anything else, or I don't care what the Congress does, I am going to proceed — if a president really believes that, then there are — what I was pointing out, there are ways to deal with that," said Hagel, who is considering a 2008 presidential run.

No chance of winning.
