#1 Panetta shows some stones, eh? My opinion of him rises slighty from the ocean floor.

#2 No, SteveS. He's just not being a "team player".

#4 Panetta went running to Congress when he came across the never-even-remotely-implemented "kill terrorist leader" plans, so that HE could be said to be clean, no matter the hit his agency and operatives took as a result.

Stones my ... foot.

#5 Panetta's proboscis as seen by Cyrano de Bergerac

Tis a rock! ... a peak! ... a cape! --A cape, forsooth! 'Tis a peninsular!'

Curious: 'How serves that oblong capsular? For scissor-sheath? Or pot to hold your ink?'

Gracious: 'You love the little birds, I think? I see you've managed with a fond research To find their tiny claws a roomy perch!'

Truculent: 'When you smoke your pipe ... suppose That the tobacco-smoke spouts from your nose-- Do not the neighbors, as the fumes rise higher, Cry terror-struck: "The chimney is afire"?'

Considerate: 'Take care, ... your head bowed low By such a weight ... lest head o'er heels you go!' Tender: 'Pray get a small umbrella made, Lest its bright color in the sun should fade!'

Pedantic: 'That beast Aristophanes Names Hippocamelelephantoles Must have possessed just such a solid lump Of flesh and bone, beneath his forehead's bump!'

Cavalier: 'The last fashion, friend, that hook? To hang your hat on? 'Tis a useful crook!'

Emphatic: 'No wind, O majestic nose, Can give THEE cold!--save when the mistral blows!'

Dramatic: 'When it bleeds, what a Red Sea!' Admiring: 'Sign for a perfumery!' Lyric: 'Is this a conch? ... a Triton you?'

Simple: 'When is the monument on view?'

Rustic: 'That thing a nose? Marry-come-up! 'Tis a dwarf pumpkin, or a prize turnip!'

Military: 'Point against cavalry!'

Practical: 'Put it in a lottery! Assuredly 'twould be the biggest prize!'

#6 Panetta is a Clintonian, he can't be trusted.

#7 More trouble among the ranks? Tis no matter. All will come together again in September, like it did last year. Or will it? Obama will have to show some new skills to get this Humpty Dumpty back together again.

#8 Stones my ... foot.

As Leon's reputation slowly settles once again to the sea floor, we shake our heads sadly and say "Tsk, tsk."
