Petraeus 0
I have no comment on whether Petraeus’s frat-boy conduct should have cost him his job, but the fuss does seem an eerie counterpoint to my post of several days ago.
Friends and family members have had lives torn by straying spouses. Consequently, I have little sympathy for him or his paramour, except to remind them of how quickly the Great Secret Love turns into the Sordid Public Scandal.
For some good, clean fun, though, try this:
When a politician or a pundit–especially a pol–defends or attacks Petraeus or his emploment status, check his or her positions on Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.
I have only one expectation: You will find some pretzel logic and a more than a few giggles.
