The more flowery the democrat comments about Petraeus, the more likely the dirt.

my new Patraeus scenario Valerie Jarrett: General Patraeus, we know about your kanoodling with the babe. We would like you to take the bullet for the whole Benghazi thing. You'll get a good exit package and you get to keep your reputation and your marriage Patraeus: That's an interesting proposition. May I go home and sleep on it? Valerie Jarrett: Of course, I expect to hear from you first thing in the morning Later General Patraeus: Honey, I have something that I have to tell you. I am being blackmailed into taking the fall for the Benghazi thing. I've made mistakes and put myself in a position where I could be blackmailed. I have had an affair. Mrs Patraeus: Edited for obvious reasons General Patraeus: I know, what I have done is unforgivable, their offer was for me to take the blame for those four people dying. In return they would keep my affair a secret. I would like you to stay with me while we work through this. Mrs Patraeus: &^#$$%) (thrown plates and glasses) (@#$(#$# Next day Valerie Jarrett: Well? do you have an answer? Patraeus: Yes, here is my resignation letter. And I told my wife about the affair last night. I have scheduled a press conference to announce my resignation. "I am resigning because I am a pigdog and I had an affair" -------------------------------------- Valerie Jarrett: Sir, we have a problem, Patraeus called our bluff and told his wife about the affair, what do we do now? Obama: Oh Sh!t!!! Let me call Feinstein..... Obama: Hello, Diane, we have a problem with Patraeus................ Feinstein: No problem Mr. President, we just won't call him now that he resigned. Disaster averted!!!! except....... civilians testify all the time....
