I was watching Abe Lincoln in Illonois on TCM this morning. Raymond Massey had a line that, in light of the present administration and the attempts of Caroline Kennedy and Al Franken to become Senators, was surprisingly prophetic. “I’ve learned in politics that ignorance is no obstacle to advancement.”

How foolish. No intel background whatsoever. The fact that he was on the Iraq Commission should tell us about all we need to know about what to expect from him. UGH!

Maybe he can market the CIA. . . . like disclose some of the secrets, so people begin to understand how important the CIA is. Isn't this what the Clintonista's have done in the past? You know, give out a little information at a time, to distract us from the real issues. And, who better than the marketing man?

Yeah, I suppose he has little experience, in the way that the number zero is little.

Wonder if putting someone easily controlled by the White House in charge of the CIA could be evidence that Big O is planning on turning the spy agency into his own secret police?
