DiFi is up in arms, issues unusual criticism of an appointment that she considers a bad one:
In an unusual rebuke to the president-elect, U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) , who will chair the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence in the 111th Congress, issued a scathing reaction.
I was not informed about the selection of Leon Panetta to be the CIA Director. I know nothing about this, other than what Ive read, Feinstein said. My position has consistently been that I believe the Agency is best-served by having an intelligence professional in charge at this time.

But this exposes the guy as a total fraud before he even takes office. Even most of the Democrats in Congress must be completely stunned right now.
