Talk about intelligence!
Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J., didn’t seem to have gotten the full briefing before he introduced none other than Central Intelligence Agency director Leon Panetta … or was it John?
Rep. Pascrell called the new director of the Central Intelligence Agency “John,” not once, not twice, but three times during his introduction at a National Italian American Federation luncheon Thursday on Capitol Hill.
And it didn’t stop there. Following Panetta’s remarks that focused on the need for more CIA agents educated in Islamic studies, Pascrell once again called him “John” while praising his works. This time Panetta politely corrected him.
Pascrell told us that he had former White House Chief of Staff John Podesta on his mind, hence the mix up. “I know, it’s really not that complicated,” Pascrell admitted with a laugh.
