I would certainly welcome dismissing from any public service anyone who lied, but that would frankly leave a large unfillable void in Washington. Start at the top of the government and work your way down to the bottom and find me someone who is without sin....YOU CANNOT.

I am interested in honesty, believe me...I oppose anyone with great vigor who I think is a liar. But those of you without sin, who are making these judgements certainly must have no imperfections.

Do I believe that once "caught" there needs to be consequences...YES, but let us apply that across the board to any and all. No need to list all the lies our leaders have knowingly told us in the name of politics, etc and the wrath I hear here is/was absent.

Does he need to suffer the consequences....again, yes. But I am not going to be his judge as you folks want to be....especially based on what is going on in this country which is left with no consequences or even questions of character.

This story made great theater and that is what you are reacting to. If you mean what you are preaching, let us begin to clean out all those who have lied to us in order to get votes or anything they may want.

Or is adultry the only sin that gets your attention ?

Here's my take on this, he's another WEINER thinking with the wrong part of his body, but when he testified this week I think he told the truth.

Broadwell wants a best seller. (IMO, not happening).

That Kelley is a lunatic.

I predict one day we'll see WEINER on Dancing With The Stars.

The wife is the only one with class and without her he probably would never reached the heights he did.

You are right! Unfortunately the wife is the wind beneath his wings when really she is the one that should be flying.... right out the door

The wife has a new job.

I believe she's been in that job for a while.

Yes, she's been Assistant Director of that agency for almost two years. Before that she was director of the Better Business Bureau’s Military Line, a program to provide consumer education and advocacy for service members, for six years. She graduated summa cum laude from Dickinson college. A very qualified lady.

The General was Head Central Inteligence Agency. He would have had to have had a security clearance. Having an affair made him open to blackmail and makes him ineligible for a security clearance and therefore, he could not hold the position.

I find it disturbing that this all came out long after it was known, how many agents were compromised by blackmailers.

This FACT that you bring up goes with no notice by the press or anyone. The affair was known since mid summer (I have read anywhere from late June to early July items on it)

And it is very disturbing that the CIA head having an affair would be covered up as it was.

From the link supplied by TALTARZAC.....

"There were indications, however, that the affair was first uncovered a few months ago during an investigation by the FBI. A U.S. national security source said the FBI had stumbled across evidence of Petraeus’ affair during an apparently unrelated investigation of news leaks."

You never ever saw this in the Main Stream Media

What is happening and what has happened is pretty bad, but nothing much we can do about it.

Let's go with MIGHT NOT!!I don't care how fit and trim you think he is, he CHEATED on his wife!
His wife has spent her entire career working with and helping military families, and looks to be in good health! This is not about how many carbs he or she consumes. It is about trust and marriage vows!

Good nutrition does not give one a by as far as morality is concerned!
