Porter Goss, proving (again) that he's a jerk

Edited on Sat May-06-06 04:00 PM by Sparkly

This is the same guy who told a reporter working for Michael Moore that he couldn't get a job in the CIA today, because he's not qualified. (That was before he became its director, of course.)

But today he lectured graduates of Tiffin University, in a commencement address, about the CIA.

Goss told the graduating students that if he were addressing a graduating class of CIA case officers, he would advise them, "Admit nothing, deny everything, and make counteraccusations."

Funny -- I thought that was the White House policy.

(He also advised, "Don't reflexively count on government. Don't fight it either. Help it." Well you know what, Porter? Sometimes you have to fight it to help it. Dimwit.)

1. Yeah, Saw that...

Doesn't even have computer skills to keep up with his kids; admits same on interview--that's actually being run by Michael Moore who's standing 50' away in the hallway, and didn't even figure it out, and he's inwas in charge of the CIA. Go figure. Just another Bush appointment.

Still, I think it's just 'bad form' to leave such a high profile job and not give the public some reasons why--if only just a few clever lies (which is what I would expect from anyone associated with Bush, our "Commander in Deciept").

2. I'm convinced this new breed of Republicans are insane.

I can't believe his audacity in lecturing such twisted values to a graduating class one day after he mysteriously resigned.

3. He's just repeating his lawyer's advice about the hookers.
