Did you read the part where I said, "this may or may not have anything to do with this subject"? Also, I didn't say he was attractive. I said he was fit and trim and young looking.

Also, as I have said before, after I posted, I heard a panel of intellectuals discusing this very thing on a national program. The discussion touched on various aspects, not just their looks.

Quirky, I agree. But, you know, there are those who would say, "All things in moderation." Does anyone think it applies only to food? :)

There's no hole to dig deeper. The deepness of the hole is in the eye of the beholder.

What does POTUS stand for?

NBC Evening News just reported that the CIA is now investigating General Petraeaus, to see if he used any CIA resources while conducting an affair with Paula Broadwell. They also showed a videotape of the two of them together at a formal event in Washington on Oct 20 something. That's like only three weeks ago.

Petraeaus will testify tomorrow (Friday) on the Benghazi incident before a closed session of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

POTUS = President of the United States

Bill :)

Okay - not only are you digging a deeper hole - you are know throwing dirt on yourself. Give it up already. So his wife is not attractive so maybe it isn't so bad he strayed, and now it's okay if it's in moderation!!!! :boxing2:

When Holly Petraeus' attorney gets done with the general, she will have all the money she needs to improve her appearance. Hopefully, she has already thrown all his uniforms to the curb. Petraeus will be lucky if he gets to keep his hairpiece. Talk about having a bad week.

Boy Howdy.

Kinda like John Edwards? Nice looking man and fit too, but of course his wife didn't look too good, the chemo and all.......

Dear heavens, what a thing to say...that we can excuse Petraeus for straying because his wife began to look her age????

Please keep comments directed at the topic and not political.

This is ridiculous. You say you are married (referring to "my wife"). So the expectation from your doctor is that you will move and have sex with strangers????? Not a very realistic assessment, unless you do plan to have sex with strangers in TV.

Getting back to the subject, Petraeus, "the affair" is not the issue, to me. His wife and most wives know when their husband is a horndog that drools over anything female that walks by on the street, and many ignore it.

The top intelligence officer of the nation making himself subject to blackmail and stealing of highly classified intelligence, and then the powers-that-be allowing this national security risk to continue until "the you-know-what" is over, is the issue.

Graciegirl, Graciegirl, Graciegirl !!! Im just saying......lol, what a subject!!!

Did you think I was serious that anyone should use lack of looks as a reason to cheat on their wife ......that their wife did not look like she did when she was younger????????

You didn't think I meant that...I hope? It is the same awful thing to cheat on a wife like John Edwards did....Awful.Awful.Awful. Who could say that that was a decent thing to do? It isn't love the way I know it.

AND Ilovetv is right. That isn't the issue. The issue is that when this was all happening, what else was happening? Something just doesn't smell right.

Very close...living 85 year olds file Medicare claims...dead ones don't. An easy computer match. Why they could figure this out years ago is beyond me...that one little fix got a whole bunch of folks in prison.

So the mod doesn't hate me...I agree with everyone on Gracie's original post. Is that pandering too obvious?

And on a lighter note :icon_wink:

"If you're head of the CIA & can't hide your mistress from your wife it means it can't be done. Case closed. Sorry fellas."
