John (License to Fail) Ratcliffe: "My critics said I didn't have enough background to be Director of National Intelligence, but I didn't put down on my resume that I have seen every Bond Movie at least three times, watched and taped every spy-movie marathon in the last ten years, and even applied to the C.I. A. once. . . . Other critics claim I can't objectively deal with the dishonest, Trump-hating officials and agents at the intelligence agencies. . . . Still others say I padded my resume when I describe my deep-cover investigations where I risked my life to save Lady Liberty. . . . These people are simply wrong, and if I had been confirmed, the first thing I would have done would be to correct their thinking by any means possible."
