Pete Hoekstra, the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, is lobbying for South Bay Rep. Jane Harman to become the new head of the CIA.
In an interview with Human Events, Hoekstra says he called Rahm Emanuel, the incoming White House chief of staff, to promote Harman's candidacy for the job.
"Jane is excellent on intelligence issues and you'll recall that she was removed from the Intelligence Committee because she refused to dance to Nancy Pelosi's tune," Hoekstra said.
That's obviously a credit to Harman as far as Hoekstra is concerned, but it may not be seen the same way by President-elect Barack Obama.
