There is nothing like a sex scandal to start a second term.  The Petraeus affair gets stranger and stranger.  I heard Ronald Kessler, who wrote The Secrets of the FBI, (so he must be a credible source, right?), say that what triggered the investigation, were emails that kept mentioning under the table.  According to Kessler, the FBI was concerned about corruption and under the table deals, not hot steamy monkey sex under the table.  Now according to the Wapo, the trigger was the harassing emails sent by the foxy Paula B.  I have to say I had a weird feeling about her when she appeared on the Daily Show.  I hate to sound like an old fuddy duddy, which in fact I am, but she brought the sleeveless trend to a whole new level, with not just her finely toned arms showing, but most of her upper body.  She not only gave a slightly creepy accounting of her relationship with Petraeus, but was such a shameless boaster that I started wondering why she didn't mention winning the Nobel Prize...Oh right, she didn't.  Of course the media is going to focus on the What did the President Know and When Did He Know It meme.  As though if the American electorate had known that David Petraeus was schtupping his mistress, they would have turned to Romney.  I don't think so.  Petraeus was so revered by everyone and was brought to national attention by W, that I don't the voters would then decide to vote for Mitt.  I have never been a big fan.  I was against the war in Iraq and thought that Petreaus was a Bush toady.  I will never forget his editorial in the Wapo in September of '04, which was basically an endorsement of Bush.

I don't want to gloat about his downfall - I am too busy gloating about the Romney and the gas bags who were sure he would win.  I feel badly for his wife, who stayed home, looked after the kids, while her husband traveled the world and was fawned over by all.
