Raise your hand if you haven’t embedded a General? I don’t see many hands. Has everyone out there slept with David Petraeus? I have an alibi. If he wasn’t on jdate, I haven’t met the guy.
What the heck is going on? I mean I know all the lords In Parliament are wearing ladies’ underwear under their pinstripes, but what’s with all these macho military men? Whatever happened to porn?
I’m sounding like a wise ass, but it’s not like any of these multi-starred generals was actually in love with Paula or Jill or any of the dozen other women they’ll soon find sleeping under the stars.
I know these guys are away from their wives for months at a time, but isn’t that what magazines and videos are for? I’m not an expert at this stuff, but it all seems pretty basic to me.
And what’s with the rogue FBI agent who started sending shirtless pics in e-mails? I think he’s the same guy who whispered about the “Petraeus affair” to Eric Cantor. Glad he was suspended.
K. Here’s my bottom line. This stuff makes for great copy (and blogs) and the next episode of Homeland, but if no secret sauce was leaked, then it’s none of my business and I could care less. If I kept count of who’s sleeping with whom I’m not sure I’d have much time left to work during the day and eat my Pb&j at night.
I know it’s a brave new hi-tech world where we can see Kate Middleton naked as well as her ginger-haired brother-in-law Harry, but do you know how many presidents slept with other women and no one really cared to know? Let’s just say it resembled a really good episode of Mad Men.
So, is this story kinda fun to follow? Yup. But, if no secrets were shared and no one got hurt, then I say it should have stayed behind closed doors.
