Re: F.B.I. Struggling to Reinvent Itself to Fight Terror
Maybe they could start the makeover by losing any reference to that blackmailing, gambling fiend, stickeating fascist J Edgar Hoover? At least lose his name on the freaking HQ.
They say Richard Nixon, on hearing of Hoover's death, exclaimed with his customary delicacy, "Jesus Christ! That old cocksucker!"
per the Straight Dope
But I remember reading that he said "that old bastard finally died".
Until then, how can anybody take the organization seriously?
