Check out the video or read this! http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/index.php?id=128 On Tuesday, August 10th, 2004, George W. Bush nominated Florida Rep. .Porter Goss Rep. Porter Goss, appeared briefly in Michael Moore's 'Fahrenheit 9/11.'

I don't have the language skills. I, you know, my language skills were romance languages and stuff. We're looking for Arabists today. I don't have the cultural background probably. And I certainly don't have the technical skills, uh, as my children remind me every day, "Dad you got to get better on your computer." Uh, so, the things that you need to have, I don't have.
