McCain absolutely does not have what it takes to be CIA director.

I've seen McCain in person several times during the presidential debates. Both the mayor and our senator were sitting with me and we all remarked that McCain is damaged, and understandably so considering his years in captivity.

He manages to pull it together when the camera is on him but when it's not, he's like a caged animal. I say this sadly and not to be ugly toward McCain.

McCain would be a perfect choice.

The CIA Director's position is usually a burial ground for ambitious people. Bush I is the only one who has ever beaten that rap, and then only because Reagan raised the elder Bush's political career from the dead in Detroit in 1980.

If you put McCain in, you have easy confirmation hearings, and McCain in the center having a piece of Bush's action. Big ego stroke. McCain sitting at the table at Principal's Meetings would be enough to make him swear off booze. He might even dump this wife and try to date Condi Rice.

Bottom line? It is better to have McCain inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in.

Be Seeing You,

Now Wayne Simmons, formerly with the CIA, on phone on Fox saying he thinks Chris Wallace is right.

He says Tenet had incredible problems he needed to fix (Bridget Quinn says "you mean fixing things from the Clinton years" and he says "YES"). He says Tenet did an incredible job of building back up and he does not think Tenet was forced out.

Now Michell Malkin on. She's saying this is not a surprise--just the day or timing.
