Goss' Goose

thank god there's a small corner of journalism that's not asleep at the wheel...

CIA Director Porter Goss abruptly resigned yesterday amid allegations that he and a top aide may have attended Watergate poker parties where bribes and prostitutes were provided to a corrupt congressman.

Kyle (Dusty) Foggo, the No. 3 official at the CIA, could soon be indicted in a widening FBI investigation of the parties thrown by defense contractor Brent Wilkes, named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the bribery conviction of former Rep. Randall (Duke) Cunningham, law enforcement sources said.

A CIA spokeswoman said Foggo went to the lavish weekly hospitality-suite parties at the Watergate and Westin Grand hotels but "just for poker."

Intelligence and law enforcement sources said solid evidence had yet to emerge that Goss also went to the parties, but Goss and Foggo share a fondness for poker and expensive cigars, and the FBI investigation was continuing.

anybody who falls for the spin that goss was canned for incompetence is smoking some very powerful stuff... incompetence, hackery, and unquestioned bush loyalty are the most prized characteristics for any bushco appointee... the day that bush starts firing cronies will be a very cold day in hell...

(thanks to raw story...)
