Oh, and...

You remember Porter Goss? He's the highly partisan Republican lawmaker turned CIA director. Even though he himself felt he was unqualified to hold that position and didn't have the required skills, I guess he figured, in the Bush administration, qualifications and skills are not a plus.

Well, he's resigned now. Why? Let's ask my latest internet crush, Georgia10 of Daily Kos fame...
This isn't part of some White House shake-up. This is a scandal-plagued Bush appointee resigning just as an investigation into another Republican corruption scandal hits too close to home.


It is Goss's hand-picked #3 man at the CIA, Kyle "Dusty" Foggo who is under serious investigation in connection with a massive bribery scheme that touches on sweetheart deals, million dollar contracts, and yes, even hookers.

You will recall that Ken Silverstein, based on a source, noted that the prostitution scandal could touch a former lawmaker "who now holds a powerful intelligence post." Speculation abounded that Porter Goss fit that description perfectly.

It might have been me. I did a thing about it back on the old blog.
