The Truthiness Hurts

Expect your friendly neighborhood Stephen Colbert to have a field day with this any minute. POTUS has nominated Gen. Michael Hayden to be the new head of the CIA, less than two years after nominating Porter Goss to the post. Goss has exited in a shameful tide of partisan backbiting. But that's not the coolest part.

Hayden is one of the parties primarily responsible for keeping POTUS' illegal wiretapping scam under wraps, making him the perfect candidate to lead the charge of the U.S.'s least-secretive secret agency. And here's where we have to ask the really, really tough questions. Hayden is a three-star general, also known as a Lieutenant General. Only three stars? We can't get a four star general to be head of the damn CIA? Mind boggling. Absolutely mind boggling.

Three stars? That's all we get is three goddamn stars?
