What, Feith Didn't Want The Job?

Well, at least the Bush Administration is keeping us safe through a steadfast commitment to the intelligence community . . .

Yeah, sure.

The new national intelligence chief is still searching for a deputy after six candidates were either rejected by the White House or turned down the job, according to people familiar with discussions about the key slot.

The nearly yearlong vacancy has come up repeatedly in talks on Capitol Hill and in private discussions at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Several people in and out government described the personnel struggle on condition they not be identified. As the White House has rejected candidates and time has stretched on, officials there have not indicated the vacancy is a priority, they said.

Who needs key intelligence staff when the VP still spews infantile drivel that calls into question his sanity?
