Seriously, who gives a flying fuck?
Re: Seriously, who gives a flying fuck?
Romantic involvement with biographers seems to be common with powerful men.
I would imagine it is quite flattering having an attractive woman hanging off every word of your recalled tales

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

A young, bright, attractive woman who follows you around and writes books about how great you are....
That would turn any man's head...

Our former PM Bob Hawke took up with his biographer. She was more mutton than lamb, though possibly (to his eyes) more attractive than his wife, Hazel.


Bah!

Re: Seriously, who gives a flying fuck?
When rumors first started to circulate a few days ago that Petraus might resign, it looked like they were going to throw him under the bus for Benghazi....("Here's an idea...let's blame the one professional guy so we can save the asses of our political hacks...it's the Chicago Way...")
But it turned out that it was just the classic story of a middle aged man getting caught with his hand in the nookie jar....

Re: Seriously, who gives a flying fuck?
She sounds like a bit of a nutcase, sending threatening emails to someone she perceived as a threat to her relationship with Petraeus. Fatal Attraction much?

Both married. Inexcusable for both.
Rubato was quite right. A Spook cannot allow himself to be placed in a position where he can be compromised.
If The General were still in the Army, this would have been a court-martial offense.
Thank God we still have a few people in positions of authority who have the integrity to do the honorable thing. Contrast this with the behavior of President Clinton under similar circumstances - both of the Clintons, for that matter. The difference is stark. Integrity vs. the total lack of same.

Re: Seriously, who gives a flying fuck?
What's this headline I see now? The FBI guy investigating the Petr-man has been fired for sending lewd photographs by email?

AND TO THINK IT ALL STARTED WITH THE TELEGRAPH
Are you saying that Petraeus has gone all "Weiner" on us? I sure hope he was more "gifted" than his designated four stars. Them stars are small.

She's 40; a lot of women have trouble coping mentally with the changes wrought by time at around that age. Temporary madness, perhaps.

•Who's who in the Petraeus scandal
The twin Florida socialites at the centre of the David Petraeus affair gained intimate access to America's military and political elite through their high-rolling lifestyles even as they quietly racked up millions of dollars in debts and credit card bills.
Jill Kelley, whose complaint over threatening emails prompted the FBI inquiry that has ensnared two generals, is mired in lawsuits from a string of banks totalling $US4 million, court filings obtained by London's The Daily Telegraph in Florida show.Ms Khawam appears to lack any appreciation or respect for the importance of honesty and integrity in her interactions with her family, employers and others with whom she comes in contact
Mrs Kelley's identical twin Natalie Khawam - who obtained testimonies to her good character from Mr Petraeus and General John Allen during a messy custody dispute after her divorce - declared herself bankrupt this year with liabilities of $US3.6 million, filings show.
Ms Khawam was described by a judge in the custody case as dishonest and lacking integrity, The Associated Press reported, citing court documents.

I SEE WHERE JILL KELLEY AND FAMILY...
... were born in Lebanon. I wouldn't be surprised to find out the military and DHS are investigating the entire Khawam clan for possible ties with Hezbollah. Regardless, two big time military generals stripped of their power for taking marching orders from their "little generals." You gotta' love it.
