NOW they complain about inexperience?!

It seems as though a bunch of Senators from the President-elect's side of the fence are upset about his pick for the top CIA spot:

"I think, based on press reporting if it proves correct, Sen. Rockefeller has some concerns about his selection. Not because he has any concerns about Panetta, whom he thinks very highly of, but because he has no intelligence experience and because he has believed this has always been a position that should be outside of the political realm."
Though Panetta has no significant prior experience in intelligence matters, his selection continues a trend that has seen Obama select seasoned Clinton administration veterans known more for their Washington savvy than their partisan tendencies.

It would seem to me that inexperience begets inexperience. Rockefeller and Feingold are surprised that the most inexperienced President ever, voted in certainly not for his experience, picks someone inexperienced, showing his inexperience?
