Hack of a Job Hayden

Looks like CIA director nominee Michael V. Hayden is yet another stellar nominee of unparalleled competence and qualification from the Bush Administration:

While director of the National Security Agency, Gen. Michael V. Hayden contracted the services of a top executive at the company at the center of the Cunningham bribery scandal, according to two former employees of the company.

Hayden, President Bush's pick to replace Porter Goss as head of the CIA, contracted with MZM Inc. for the services of Lt. Gen. James C. King, then a senior vice president of the company, the sources say. MZM was owned and operated by Mitchell Wade, who has admitted to bribing former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham with $1.4 million in money and gifts. Wade has also reportedly told investigators he helped arrange for prostitutes to entertain the disgraced lawmaker, and he continues to cooperate with a federal inquiry into the matter.

Let's see....contempt for the Constitution, associations with corrupt corporations....possible involvement in Hookergate.....

Yup. Michael V. Hayden really IS the most qualified candidate to head the CIA -- according to the qualification rules of Republicans.
