Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

did they find child porn on his computer too?

There are allegations that he attended parties with a corrupt lobbyist... and with hookers.

Harper's says it was "one person who now holds a powerful intelligence post." A couple of days later, Goss denied it was him. And then a couple more days later, he resigns.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I have email alerts set and a dozen or so news sources in my rss feed, but it's only when I come to b.org that I discover this:

The CIA director has resigned

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I was hoping it was Cheney who resigned.

Rumsfeld, I'm hoping for something more painful, like a public flogging.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My eyes are bleeding with all the work I have to do. Please send help, and lunch, and a nap.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

"Porter's tenure at the CIA was one of transition," Bush said, "where he's helped this agency become integrated into the intelligence community,

what, like the CIA wasn't part of the intelligence community before, they were just out at Langley knitting?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sadly, tommyrot's prediction would still be a vast improvement over our current administration.

I was mostly imagining his speaking style, which is the antithesis of funny to me (Stephen Wright notwithstanding).

Hm, his speaking style never struck me as distinctive. Maybe I got used to it. Oh -- or is it possible you're thinking of Buckley? Because then, gosh yes.
