I don't know. I didn't start the thread. Read it again until it's
funny; there is something deeply humorous about Petraeus being forced
to resign on grounds of virility.
The Sovs always made up an "illness" story. We use... something
else.

Of course, but this is the way these things are normally handled.
The case of Herman Cain was handled "normally" too. He asked a girl if she wanted to go to a hotel. Now if he had sent a state trooper to aquisition her and take her to the hotel room and asked her to "kiss it", and if he was now President Elect, I wouldn't call that normal.
But the long course of events seems surreal when people act with such astounding hypocrisy as if it's all ok.

It's only a problem if it is a deep dark secret that can be used to
pressure the individual (like being in the closet). If it's something
akin to having the occasional smoke- slightly embarassing to have it
pointed out in company, but hardly earth-shattering, it's not really a
problem for anyone. BTW, I don't for a minute believe that the wives
involved were not aware something was going on, either in France or in
the US, but that's not the same as having everyone else know.

The only way I can stand the noise at all is to realize that it *is*
surreal to begin with, that all the framing and making-into-narrative
distorts things so badly that what's left is nothing.

"After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours," the retired four-star general said. "This afternoon, the President graciously accepted my resignation"
What a disgrace. Even Bill Clinton had more dignity.

Yep, The Bill was the epitome of that French joke, "What woman?" ;-)

I suppose there is actual training materials and reams of regulation
on exactly what can transpire before it's a security breach?

We are already neck deep in swampy non-concepts...

No, because absolutely nothing was ever issued as information
that *wasn't* made up, really :)
