Michael Hayden's Off The Record Conversation Gets Live Tweeted By Liberal Activist

You would think the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency and director of the National Security Agency would know a thing or two about discretion, but live tweets of an overheard phone conversation prove otherwise.

Well played, Matzzie. Well played.

UPDATE (8:45 a.m. ET): Matzzie appeared on Friday's edition of Sirius radio's The Agenda, hosted by Ari Rabin-Havt, to reveal why Hayden may have displayed clouded judgment.
