Politics: Porter Goss, foot in mouth

Apparently Michael Moore (or apparently some of his cronies) got an interview w/ Porter Goss while working on Fahrenheit. And Goss has some pretty interesting things to say about his qualifications for a job in the CIA, i.e. that he couldn't get a job nowadays with the CIA, siting deficiencies in his cultural/language and technical skills.

Now, it seems to me Goss is talking about being a CIA-JamesBondesque spy or whatever, and not being a suit up top. I haven't read enough about the guy to say either way, except he's got an impressive resume. He also sounded like an arrogant prick in a speech I heard him give on NPR, the same "nobody needs to like us as long as we can kick their ass" rhetoric the current administration uses so well to promote senseless blind nationalism.
