#2 News flash, Tom - you don't get to say squat about the emptying of the CIA director's slot - that's pure Executive privilege, pal. You ge tt" on the replacement candidates, but you don't get anything more. In short, fuck off.

#3 Like Sanford said, "Back to your cave, bat!"

We have bigger issues in this country than dealing with grandstanders.

#5 I for one hope that Tenet does write an "October" surprise book since he was the guy running the agency that said WMD's were a "slam dunk" and couldn't "connect the dots" on 911. These are the Dems and LLL's big claims and now they are licking their chops that he comes back to the "dark side"??! I doubt that Tenet will turn on Bush before or after the election since he will be tarred and feather in July by the bogus 911 commission who are looking for a scapegoat and now that he is resigned is the most convienent one to garner bi-partisan support (appointed by Clinton and stayed on for Bush).

#6 Public service at that level is like a gristmill. I can't imagine that being the sentinel against all terrorists allows for much downtime. He wasn't my favorite guy, but I took no pleasurein watching him get treated like Gerorge Foreman's heavy bag - and I don't mean his carryout at McD's - for 2.5 years. I hope he and his family find a quiet place. History will be kind to him in the end. "The wall" was an entirely stupid idea.

#7 Not sure he can get a book out very fast, it would have to get cleared first (saw this speculation on NRO).

I suggest nominating Ted Kennedy or Hillary Clinton to the CIA. They turn down the offer, then blast them in the press for not being willing to step up to defend America.

If one accepts, then savage their ass in the confirmation hearings and then vote them down.

#8 Daschle - Tenet resigned just so YOU could have an excuse to put YOUR ugly mug on the evening cabal propoganda AGAIN. Jennings, Brokaw, and Rather are waiting with baited breath for YOUR philosophical waxings on how the President mistreated Tenet!

#12 RKB, Fox posted this Transcript: Tenet Talks Resignation Notice that Tenet thanks Bush for his support but doesn't express gratitude for Clinton giving him a promotion.

Note: Tenet's statements about accompanying his son to High School must be some kind of threat. Maybe the kid is getting bad grades. Can you imagine having Dad show up at all your classes?

#13 Daschle Wants âReal Reasonâ For Tenet Resignation
I want the 'real reason' the good folks of South Dakota keep electing cretins to the Senate.

Maybe senator is a Sioux word for village idiot?
