The Gawker Flowchart on Petraeus--Or, I Pity the Prosecutor Who Has to Touch this Steaming Pile.....

[msanthrope]

Don't get me wrong---I think there is more than enough evidence to indict Petraeus. I think it is cosmic irony that he was outed by two Republican congressmen who, like the shirtless fbi agent involved in this mess, had terminal ODS, and wanted to take down the President with this.

Gawker has provided a handy flowchart that keeps track of the nuts, accused sluts, and assorted zany characters any good Washington sex scandal should have....

Stephen Colbert sums it all up, with Susan Lucci in an episode of Love Pentagon.

FBI contamination aside, he should be prosecuted for wrongdoing, as any other leaker should.....and in the meantime, I fully intend to point and laugh.

1. Sounds like the defense business I remember so well from the 1980s.

Lots of fooling around.

2. Lots and lots of fooling around! I wonder if Cantor's role in exposing all this helped him lose his

seat.

3. Could well be.

People have been known to hold a grudge. If the right opportunity were to come along, it would be hard to pass up. And the right opportunity always comes along.

I have always felt the doofus-nature was strong in Cantor.

5. well, at least Cantor did one "good" thing while in office (exposing this)???

Question marks cause I'm not sure.
