Leon "The Peon" Panetta Unanimously Confirmed As CIA Chief; It's The End Of The World As We Know It

Panetta is one letter short of ...

...pancetta [pan-chet-uh]
–noun

Italian pork belly cured with salt, pepper, and other spices and air-dried up to four months, tightly rolled in a cylinder.

'My position has consistently been that I believe the agency is best served by having an intelligence professional in charge at this time,' said Senator Dianne Feinstein who, as chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, would be in charge of Mr. Panetta's confirmation."

I don't know who's hypocrisy is worse. Sen. Feinstein or Sen. Specter.

Remember, Sen. Specter was so anti-Eric Holder that he actually made us believe he might vote against the pro-terror Holder. And then he folded, like he did with the CRAPulus package. RINO defined. (For the record, I think we can all agree that we would rather have a Liberal Democrat to take Specter's Senate seat. At least a Liberal would have to decency to support his/her party 's principles instead of selling out over a Super Bowl Party at the White House.)

And yes, all 41 Republican Senators who voted for Panetta are fools.

But, in their defense, they are a little pre-occupied with the BS CRAPulus Generational Theft Act of 2009.

From CNN:

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Senate on Thursday night confirmed Leon Panetta as CIA director by unanimous consent.

Leon Panetta, 70, will become the oldest person to head the CIA.

Panetta, 70, will become the oldest person to head the spy agency.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, which passed Panetta's nomination on to the full Senate on Wednesday, said at that time that Panetta would mark a "new beginning" for the CIA.

"He has the integrity, the drive and the judgment to ensure that the CIA fulfills its mission of producing information critical to our national security without sacrificing our national values," the California Democrat said.

Sen. Kit Bond, the ranking Republican on the committee, said he supported Panetta after receiving assurances from him that he will "use all appropriate and lawful means" to keep the nation safe.
