Last week, on one of those increasingly rare lazy afternoons, I caught myself sinking comfortably into a living room of familiar faces while watching TLC?s highly-addictive reality juggernaut ??Jon & Kate Plus 8,?? which has since become far more depressing than it once was uplifting ? a trashy train wreck in the wake of a bitter and public pending divorce, allegations of cheating, and questions about the care of Jon and Kate Gosselin?s eight adorable children.

Poor Leon Panetta. It's hard not to feel bad for the guy. If the Obama administration is like one big, elaborate stage production of "Chicago," Panetta is playing invisible Amos Hart - "Mr. Cellophane" - to sheer, translucent, forgettable perfection.
In less than a year, Panetta's CIA has been reduced to irrelevance and Panetta himself has either been ignored or emasculated by the very folks who were supposed to be his biggest supporters.
