well what about her? this guy might be a top general and all that but i think she would find the secret service agents more agreeable and they would even offer to pay her.

She is nuts, I think. She is so big! Like an amazon, kind of how they used to portray Russian female soldiers in movies. Men always fall for that type.

Retired, four-star Army Gen. David Petraeus is paying the price for his hubris in much the same way as did the mythical figure Icarus who, like Petraeus, thought himself invincible but discovered otherwise when he flew too close to the sun before crashing back to earth. The now-retired CIA Director flew not too close to the sun, but rather ignored basic rules of secrecy, and ran afoul of the virtually limitless powers of surveillance we have placed in the hands of the FBI and other government agencies.

Like former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer before him, Petraeus’ sexual peccadillos were unmasked...
