Leon Panetta, in a loincloth and trident, battling a polar bear? Could be the media spectacle of the century. But given how long Panetta has survived in DC, I would feel sorry for the poor bear.

  Gu Gu, the Beijing Panda Bear, might make a better opponent. He has a 3-0 record against Humans.

    Dream on. Palin is going to come riding in on a helicopter and I'll bet a moose rifle won't have any trouble with any bear, polar or panda.

  You'd not think Panetta was 70 by looking at him

  I have nothing personally against Panetta, but the choice of Panetta makes me wonder if Barack Obama doesn't take intelligence seriously. Would you ask your accountant to perform brain surgery on your child? That's the closest analogy I can find to the choice of Democrat Party hack Leon Panetta to head the CIA.
  The director's job at the CIA isn't a party favor. This is potentially a matter of life and death for thousands of Americans and it is serious. I hope he is up to the job.

    You might if the previous three brain surgeons killed your other children. Still, I do find Panetta a slightly weird choice.

      I just wonder how well any of us knows Panetta... Perhaps Obama sees skills and talent in Panetta that we are not aware of. I hope.
