Petraeus

Let's see.  Roosevelt had a mistress.  In fact, he died at Warm Springs, Georgia, with his mistress.  Jack Kennedy had an ongoing affair with Marilyn Monroe in addition to other dalliances in the White House.  Bill Clinton had his Lewinsky thing and others too numerous to mention.  And, then there are the ones involving the Commanders-in-Chief (Presidents) we don't even know about.

So, what is the big deal about Petraeus, a lowly four-star general, having an affair with his biographer?  If it's okay with the top dogs why isn't it okay for an underling dog?  I'm not condoning what Petraeus did, but with the social and cultural environment being what it is today, I don't see why Petraeus needs to be the one singled out and condemned.  I can't help but believe that half of what goes on in that cesspool known as Washington, D.C. involves extramarital bedtime pastimes.
