“The jobs I’m being asked to do, the five hats that I wear, are too much for this mortal,” Goss said. “I’m a little amazed at the workload.”

But he had an (R) after his name, so the myth was accepted as fact and he joined the CIA and instead of doing the housecleaning that should have been done FIVE YEARS after 9/11 he thought a partisan purge was the answer.

This is a man who could not even address, let alone deny, that the NSA is <a href="http://www.firedoglake.com/2006/05/06/id-like-political-enemies-for-800-alex/" rel="nofollow">spying on Bush's political opponents</a>. If you thought Goss was a clownish fuck-up, wait till we get a load of what this ass head will do! And when we start getting the news of the criminality and incompetence coming out of Hayden's tenure, it will be one more noose to hang around the neck of Bush and all his cronies. I increasingly thing the Democratic theme for 2006 ought to be the utter incapacity of GW and the rubber-stamp Republican congress to place anyone remotely qualified in positions of authority. The R's have said for years that government is the problem, and they set out to prove it by making the government in all its roles worse every day!
