The CIA is being broken up next.

Or, if we've learned anything from the way Republicans dealt with FEMA, it will be. Via Newsweek:

May 8, 2006 - By all accounts, Michael Hayden is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced intelligence officers currently working for the United States government. But the Air Force general—nominated today as President Bush’s pick to lead the CIA—can expect to face a grueling round of confirmation hearings on whether he is a good candidate to take charge of the agency at a time when it is in turmoil and its mission is in question.

The upheaval at the CIA is unlikely to end anytime soon. Earlier today, the agency circulated an internal announcement that agency’s third ranking official, Kyle (Dusty) Foggo, has decided to step aside. News of Foggo’s departure inevitably will be overshadowed by the Hayden nomination, but its effects will continue to resonate within the agency. As NEWSWEEK first reported, the CIA’s inspector general has been investigating whether Foggo helped steer agency contracts to companies run by Brent Wilkes, a defense contractor who was identified as an unindicted co-conspirator when former San Diego congressman and ex-Navy air ace Randy (Duke) Cunningham pleaded guilty in a Congressional bribery scandal. The CIA has acknowledged that its internal watchdog is investigating whether Foggo helped steer any contracts to Wilkes, an old friend. The inspector general was looking into at least one specific contract, worth between $2 million and $3 million, which a CIA base in Germany granted to a company run by a relative of Wilkes. At the time the contract was issued, Foggo headed the CIA base’s logistics office, though he did not sign the contract.
Knowing that two out of the three top administrators at the agency that watches for people trying to fucking kill us have now stepped down due to scandal or shady dealings, I must say that I feel safer.

Thank GOD that there's a good Christian man like George W. Bush in the White House. His piety and good Christian living should be enough to keep us safe. We're GOD'S chosen nation, so now that we have a Christian King President, surely GOD'S grace will keep us safe, help us kill evil people that live where our oil is and reaffirm our sacred duty to torture people.

I mean, imagine if there was some godless Liberal in the White House. A liberal would actually investigate corruption and chose people based on their records and qualifications instead of just trusting the LORD to take care of things.

Liberals spend to much time thinking about what would be good for America and not enough time praying for America's safety. If they'd stop thinking so much and start 'feeling' their way to foreign policy successs, I might vote for them.

God, I'm so fucking disgusted.
