Vice President Joe Biden today swore in new CIA Director Leon Panetta, telling his audience at the agency that, “My name is Joe Biden and I’m proud to be one of your leading customers.”
Biden, whose bursts of humor already seem to be at least slightly irritating to President Obama, doled out the laughs intentional and otherwise – including one reference to the “intelligent community.”
Panetta also got into the act, thanking White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for showing up and adding, “I taught him everything he knows. So on the other hand, if he screws up it’s not my fault.”
The CIA – so inscrutable!
