And the walls of the administration came a'tumblin' down...
Okay, so Fox News is reporting that CIA Chief Porter Goss is officially resigning from his post, which is interesting because he hasn't even held the position for two full years. While Bush has said that Goss' "tenure" is one of "transition" and that he has a "five-year plan to increase the analysts and operatives", does anyone else see this as something completely different?
First of all, less than two years doesn't exactly strike me as "tenure". Secondly, this comes one day after an AP poll found that even 31% of conservatives want Republicans out of power! For the sake of arguement, let's list the recent White House black sheep: Scott McClellan. Michael Brown, who later bit the feds in the ass during a senate hearing. Chief of Staff Andy Card. Claude Allen, who had his own reasons. Even H. James Towey, the head of the White Houses "Faith-Based" effort, bailed out in April to become the president of a tiny college in Latrobe, PA.
Um, hi, Mr. "President"? Can we just call a spade a spade and say that everyone on your side is jumping overboard without a paddle rather than go down with the ship?

Depending on who you believe, Goss is intimately tied in with the Cunningham bribery investigation and that's the reason he left. Others just say he was complete in over his head. I think the second is more accurate and the first is Bush's attempt to smear the ship-jumper, but, and here's the kicker, the worst part (for Bush at least) is that both of these scenarios exposes him as the terrible judge of character he truly possesses. Tell me you've seen Colbert's little performance. I thought Bush was going to stab him with a salad fork. Hasta la vista!
I could watch that Cunningham press conference over and over, the one where he breaks down crying.
Appropos of nothing, today's word verification is vluozoox, which sounds like some new prescription drug for vertigo.
