#1 I was listening to the 5-minute on the hour radio news from ABC news on my car radio when a story announced the nomination of Goss to the CIA. The second thing they did after the announcement was to get Stansfield Turner on and tell why Goss is bad. They did not even give any background on the guy. Nice balanced reporting. Ass-hats.

#2 Just 2 months ago, Pelosi sadi she'd suport Goss if nominated and gave a glowing account of his credentials. Yesterday, she dismissed him as a partisan hack...and she talks about leaving politics out the decision. Ahem, Ms Pelosi? STFU!

#4 Goss is one of the wealthiest members of Congress, with assets worth between $6 million and $24 million last year. His biggest holdings included $1 million to $5 million worth of shares each in IBM, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and General Electric Co.

How often does the press play up Kerry's wealth? Compared to Kerry, this guy's a fricking pauper, but the wording here is intended to make him look like the guy from Monopoly.

#6 Democrats beware: playing a political game with the CIA director's confirmation hearings will hand the GOP another big, honking stick to beat you with in Senate races across the country.

#10 A6044: What I need to know is: is he "Skull and Bones"? I'll guess in the affirmative.

Dunno. The guy was a Yale graduate during an era when the CIA still recruited mostly from elite Ivy League schools - before patriotism became a dirty word with that set. No one knows for sure whether the guy was a member of Skull and Bones.
