Michael Moore Scores A Hit on Goss
by Michael in New York - 9:55 AM

Here's an amusing Reuters story detailing Michael Moore's release of an interview with Porter Goss done for "Fahrenheit 9/11."

"'I couldn't get a job with CIA today. I am not qualified,'' the Florida Republican told documentary-maker Michael Moore's production company during the filming of the anti-Bush movie ``Fahrenheit 9/11.''

"A day after Bush picked Goss for the top U.S. spy job, Moore Wednesday released an excerpt from a March 3 interview in which the 65-year-old former House of Representatives intelligence chief recounts his lack of qualifications for employment as a modern CIA staffer.

"'I don't have the language skills. I, you know, my language skills were romance languages and stuff. We're looking for Arabists today. I don't have the cultural background probably,'' Goss is quoted in an interview transcript.
"'And I certainly don't have the technical skills, uh, as my children remind me every day: 'Dad you got to get better on your computer.' Uh, so, the things that you need to have, I don't have.''

Moore's parting jab is that Goss granted the interview with Moore's producers without bothering to check who they were working for.

"'You'd think the person who was the head of the intelligence committee would ask a few more questions,'' said Moore.
"'The reality is that Porter Goss was in charge of the oversight of the CIA during a time when the CIA didn't do its job, which in part resulted in the loss of lives of 3,000 people,' he said via telephone from New York.

But nothing tops the Bush response: it's all hearsay, they claim. Here's hoping the interview tape is sent out pronto by Moore to the news media or at least posted online.

Ooh, that's a good one. I hope they release the interview.

I have no idea who this guy is really and I highly doubt he's going to be able to turn things around at the CIA.

What they need to do is bring in one of those people that goes into businesses and turns them around...what do they call them? There's a word they call them...that's who they need, I just can't think of the word. Corporate something I believe..??

Corporate "consultants"...? OH NO, that's the last thing the CIA needs.

Well the government can't do its job, so maybe those guys would able to get things straightened out. Some of them seem to work miracles at these failing companies...

I saw Office Space, didn't really like it but then again I was so tired and not really paying attention...I'm gonna have to see that one again.
