And another one bites the dust.


As Liberal Catnip reports, CIA Director Porter Goss has just resigned. Maybe he wanted to spend more time with his family, and less with prostitutes.

AFTERSNARK: Pick out the operative phrases in the following (here, let me help):

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - CIA chief Porter Goss, assigned to rebuild the U.S. spy agency after huge intelligence lapses over the September 11 attacks and Iraq, abruptly quit on Friday after less than two years on the job.

President George W. Bush gave no explanation for Goss' resignation, praising the former member of Congress from Florida for his candid advice.

The announcement was made at a hastily arranged event in the Oval Office attended by Goss and John Negroponte, director of national intelligence.

Good thing this happened on a Friday when nobody's paying attention.

And all they can talk about on CNN is how Patrick Kennedy is a junkie.

Apparently, there's a lot of that going around.
