#TheQuench: Why Washington is Mad - Gen. Petreus + Paula Broadwell Scandal

Shame.

(ISAF via Reuters)

This entire ordeal is a mess! In case you're wondering what's with all the hoopla, here we go:

Basically, Congress, and much of Washington are pissed at current CIA Director, General David Petreus. Well, last year, Petreus and Paula Broadwell, the author of his biography, were having an affair. Sending "flirty" emails back and forth. Bla bla bla. Not such a big deal right? Well, Ms. Broadwell apparently got super comfortable and developed diarrhea of the mouth, divulging top secret information during lectures and declaring the General her source! How fresh!

Members of Congress are upset because they found out about the FBI's investigation into the matter like the rest of us. The FBI is saying they have specific protocols in place that restrict the release of information And even the White House had no idea until the day after the election. (Supposedly.)

SMH. The General has stepped down from his position and Broadwell has gone into recluse. And now, Yahoo News reports that another high ranking general, the Commander of Armed Forces in Afghanistan to be exact, has been exchanging illicit emails with a random.

And the topic of the month is, "Why do powerful men cheat?"

Lol. Huh?

Since when does cheating have a face? Let alone a tax bracket....

Anywho, this is is an old story with a new face. Do you think the high level of attention is justified? Do you even care?
