32. hahaha. This board must be pretty young.

Shiny objects are the nature of people.

As for Broadwell's UoD speech, nobody is talking about it because it's OLD NEWS now
it was already talked about, the Jill / White House stuff is brand new.

I've seen several situations like this. They are usually a weird mix
of unfathomable motives, each actor has different information, which
means their actions are often hard to understand, much less their motives.

I don't see that there's any spy stuff here now, just a bunch of
ambitious people engaged in different levels of games which came
to a head during the election, because part of it was driven by
the election... Kelleys hanging out in DC three times looking to
hook into the next administration. There's also a rumor that Broadwell
talked about running for office in NC and that's why Patreus stopped
the affair.

I have no doubt the public explosion of all this was managed
so as to come out after the election. I'm not sure who would have
been impacted worse, though, seeing as Patreaus is nominally a republican.
