If he were, say, someone like Vitter he'd still be in his position.

Look at James Bond -- he's been around for fifty years, and he hasn't betrayed truth, justice, and the American Way yet.

That said, my money's on Snooki.

He couldn't betray "the American way" even if he wanted to. For him, it's Queen and Country all the way.

And I'm going to guess either a subordinate or a foreign citizen.

I won't link it, but news max has an eye-popping story about a months long investigation by the FBI and lots of crazy stalking behavior from the CIA chief.

"All In" about Petraeus. It was just reported the FBI are investigating her as she may have had 'inappropriate' access to his e-mail.

This could get VERY interesting in a national security sense and now makes perfect sense as to why he resigned.

All I heard was "due to an extramarital affair".

Maybe he is resigning to work on his marriage.




The truth be told I think this kind of thing is in bad taste. The man's service to this nation is still the man's service to this nation. If most any other couple in the country was having this type of trouble it would not be all over the TV.

I really think this should get as little traction as possible.
