He said Hagel would be great in any capacity and he'd be happy to have him as secretary of state.

Now, he is saying he has no "managerial experience".

So, most charitably, he floated a man with "no managerial experience" as a "great secretary of state".

There is no "new information" that would take away managerial experience Hagel had in 2006 or make him have LESS managerial experience than in 2006.

That is not consistent and makes that criticism of him for the Pentagon post look like hackery.

And you have to know that.

to be fair, McCain also suggested that an untested, arguably corrupt woman from Alaska would be a good president. Really, the question isn't regarding McCain's changing his mind on Hagel, it's why anyone frakkin' listens to him in the first place. It's not like he's ever exhibited good judgement.

Also, we're arguing with someone who has a track record of supporting low-hanging fruit like Palin, Perry, Rubio.

FTFY.

And yeah, not sure why anyone is floating his opinion on anything.
