WaPo Blogger Rubin epitomizes RW delusion syndrome.

In her oh so sad blog concerning Hagel's confirmation, Ms. Rubin demonstrates the right's tendency to blame everyone but their own inherent irrelevance. Her analytic approach to Hagel's overcoming the baseless innuendos and downright slanders floated by her and her right wing cronies shows the intellectual bankruptcy of the tea party mentality of today's GOP. According to her, Hagel's confirmation is a failure on the part of everyone else rather than the emphatic rejection of extremism that her blog and her ilk spew as a matter of course.
It is not that the Republican Senators who abandoned the fillibuster nor Jewish Democrats who supported Hagel who failed to carry out their duties. It is the abject failure of the right's political philosophy and vision.
What happened in November and what happened today is proof positive that Rubin, the GOP and tea party hit men do not understand the country and time in which they live.

1. What's really troubling is that Hagel earned a lot of anger for once openly acknowledging

the intimidating power of the Israel lobby. Rubin was one of the first to bash him on this (she's basically a mouthpiece of Bill Kristol). It's just not OK to say that they have outsized influence in Congress. And yet, she now declares that AIPAC (which seemed to stay out of it) had the power to stop his confirmation--basically affirming that the Israel lobby (at least certain factions of it) had the power that Hagel had alluded to. So, does AIPAC have that sort of influence, or not? Aside from all that, she is just an entertaining, screeching wombat.

4. Why doesn't Ms. One-noter just go work for the Jerusalem Post?

She can't even multitask like most other RW shills.
