Imagine a woman trapped in a man’s body. If your mind’s eye brought up Charlie Crist or former NJ Governor Jim McGreevey, you did good.

OK. Now imagine a frustrated, overbearing, hate-filled, penis-envy-ridden woman, trapped in the body of a beta male. Now what do you get?

You get Leon Panetta — former Clinton hack, full-time liar, and Bambi’s current CIA Director and errand boy. That he is bitterly jealous of Dick Cheney‘s gravitas and masculinity is obvious in this cheap and slanderous statement made to the New Yorker.

I think he smells some blood in the water on the national security issue. It’s almost, a little bit, gallows politics. When you read behind it, it’s almost as if he’s wishing that this country would be attacked again, in order to make his point.

Let’s put it this way. Nobody would ever even think to use the term Darth Panetta.
