Just goes to show that (some) women are eager to sleep with men who have power. I mean, look at that guy. Not exactly Brad Pitt.

In parts of Europe, having a mistress is still totally acceptable and expected.

Yep.. So am I but we're a small minority.. Even though based on the article, there was some misuse of public funds in all that, but not worthy of an affair, just chopping block
 
You do realize that Petraeus didn't give up his post because of a mistress. Right?

Thing is there is more to this than just cheating... Of course like what happened with Clinton the press focuses on the cheating and not the other issues. For this one, just peeling back the surface of the onion:

-The FBI found classified stuff on her laptop (that she should not have) and he is the CIA director. Both (him and her) claim the stuff had nothing to do with him.
-They take cheating serious at his level in his type of job because it could be used for blackmail to get classified information.
-She claimed in a speaking engagement that the CIA had Libyan nationals held in the Libyan Embassy prior to the attacks and this was the catalyst for the attacks! How did she know this, is it true?
-The FBI had this all figured out months ago but no one said anything until just after the election (cover up on who's orders?). Of course the Libyan embassy thing was a hot election topic and there seems to be some tie in here.
-He resigned just before he was supposed to testify about what happened in Libya, now he does not have to (unless subpoenaed). More cover-up.

There is more, this is just the surface.


And I should add, I could care less about his cheating if it was not for all the above and of course more.

Fair points. I agree with your last sentence as well. It's the cheating itself I don't care about. From a media standpoint, it's the part that gets the most attention, even though, all your points are much more relevant.
 
Clinton got a blowjob, I'm desensitized

The Flirt Locker ?
 
I guess what surprises me is, being the director of the ****ing CIA, the affair wasn't discovered the week that it started. Unless this is only the public face of him taking the fall for something else.

They say this is the 3rd woman and this thing blew up because woman 2 above started emailing woman 3 with nasty threatening emails to leaver her man alone.

His wife is the daughter of a former General that was the head of West Point where David P. graduated from. he hooked up with her there.
Hmmm, seems like a opportunist to me.

As for his wife...SERIOUSLY her husband has the status of a rock star General. The guy looks good for his age and has the body of an athlete. He has all of these younger women around him. I guess she does not own a mirror or that is the deal they have. His wife looks like his mother. If the roles were reversed I would say the same thing. This issue is between him and his wife.

This just seems way to simply that him cheating on his wife made him feel so bad that he had to step down because protecting the country is less important.
They call him King David for good and bad but he is their American Hero figure that keeps them safe. Do you really think the Republicans wants the war hawk and terrorist killer to step down. The head of the House Republicans knew about this BEFORE the election since October yet he did not leak this. It would have made the President look bad and maybe sway a few votes but he stayed quiet. Why?

I do think there is more to it than a simple cheating scandal, I also believe it's an opportunity for the right wing to sling out every conspiracy theory they can come up with and they sure are running with it. The truth will come out in the wash, at this point I'm not believing anything.

Both Republicans and Democrats pushed for this guy. It wouldn't have stuck on Obama.
