Yeah...the reporters were probably getting ready to handle the Kennedy presser, when this news broke..

This beats the heck out of normal slow news Fridays!!

Norah O'Donnell on MSNBC said that this was all Negroponte's doing...and that it has been working up to this for about a week...

And, I see someone already reported that Negroponte is supposed to name the next CIA guy....

appreciate finding this out: "Norah O' Donnell says "sources" tell her that Negroponte ASKED Goss to step down. "

Good, he has all the signs of an addict. He needs the help.

He can be fought and beat clean, and it's just sad when he's not.

I am stunned at that news--it was just a simple inadvertent combination of prescription drugs.

>>Negroponte is going to select the next head of the CIA. I don't believe it.<<

No but since the DCI essentially reports to Negropnte its reasonable for Negroponte to be consulted.

He needs help. Again. Before he kills someone.

Charles Krauthammer said last night: It's Chappaquidick without the body.

Any scandal attached to Porter Goss?

Let's hope it's a lobotomy.

He also said that the people he spoke with at the Pentagon were shocked. There was no hint of this happening.

Something big is up.....

Isnt this obvious? Porter has obviously resigned to take the media heat off of Patches Kennedy.
