Out of curiosity, as Executive Director of the Museum of the Bourgeois, whom would you have chosen for CIA Director?

15 stood up to this blatant extended power-grab by the Pentagon:
Bayh (D-IN)
Cantwell (D-WA)
Clinton (D-NY)
Dayton (D-MN)
Dodd (D-CT)
Dorgan (D-ND)
Durbin (D-IL)
Feingold (D-WI)
Harkin (D-IA)
Kennedy (D-MA)
Kerry (D-MA)
Menendez (D-NJ)
Obama (D-IL)
Wyden (D-OR)
Specter (R-PA)
(I'm still flabbergasted that Arlen Specter voted Nay!)

But below look at those NOT VOTING! Why would a Senator MISS THIS VOTE?!?

Not Voting - 7
Boxer (D-CA)
Conrad (D-ND)
Dole (R-NC)
Inouye (D-HI)
Rockefeller (D-WV)
Salazar (D-CO)
Thune (R-SD
I'm especially surprised that Barbara Boxer didn't vote. OK so it wouldn't have changed the outcome, but jeebus - at least give the appearance, ya know?
So who would make a good CIA director? Damn good question, anonymous! The very best candidate I can think of is none other than MoB's own HH!!!!!
