Watching MTP: I want my Director of CIA to wear a suit not a uniform.
A coat & slacks would be even better with a pipe stem & tobacco pouch peaking out of the breast pocket. Someone who looks like they might be thinking about a lot of things not just meeting Cheney's approval.

Oh well, it IS MTP: "If it's Sunday, it's Dick Cheney's agenda."

1. Or:
"If it's Sunday, then it's Today, or if you were Tom Snyder, it's Tomorrow - but only if it's Saturday Night, Live, or if you're older, Wednesday Night At The Movies, Tuesday Night at the Movies, or if you're on CBS, Thursday and Friday Night At The Movies, or if you're on ABC, Sunday Night At The Movies."

5. "C-SPAN showed him all dressed up
in his phony Doctor God get-up
He looked at the camera and fixed his specs
And gave a fascinating lecture 'bout anal sex" - Frank Zappa, "Promiscuous" (about Surgeon General C. Everett Koop), from "Broadway The Hard Way" (great record!)

3. yeah, agree
Particularly when he was so painstakingly drawing a distinction between army and CIA w/respect to the field manual

It seemed really bizarre for him to be wearing an Air Force uniform, characterizing the Army as somehow less sophisticated than his CIA spooks

4. the CIA is supposed to be clandestine. How the hell is a decorated uniform "low profile"
to quote Bill Hicks re: Ollie North, "Geez you dont see me still wearing my Taco Bell uniform"

8. He'd like to, but...
Jackboots, monocles and riding crops look weird with a suit.
