Apparently, Everybody Involved in the Petraeus Scandal Is a Swinging Sex Freak

Suggested title for Gen. Petraeus’s memoirs: “Dear Penthouse Forum …” minx.cc/?post=334883 — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) November 13, 2012 The CIA chief, his West Point-educated girlfriend, an FBI agent, the “social liaison” at McDill AFB, the top general in Afghanistan — they’re all as freewheeling and frisky as college juniors on Spring Break in Cabo.

Ace of Spades: Eric Holder Is Obviously Lying About the Petraeus Affair

The logic is impeccable: Holder’s FBI discovers the CIA chief is dangerously compromised and doesn’t tell the President? Bovine excrement! Therefore, the alternative hypothesis that Holder was negligent in not telling the President is merely an interesting counterfactual along the lines of, “What if Lee’s army had AK-47s at Gettysburg?” We know Holder is lying. The […]

Please Don’t Tickle Me, Elmo — Or: What’s the Muppet Age of Consent?

That probe of Broadwell’s emails revealed the affair between Broadwell and Petraeus. The FBI contacted Petraeus and other intelligence officials, and […]

The Slut Paula Broadwell

Let’s just go ahead and get this out of the way, eh? Aren’t feminists who embrace the “slut” label (e.g., “Slutwalk“) all about empowerment and liberation? And if you are an empowered liberated woman, what difference does it make if you’re married or your partner is married? All those silly vows — “Forsaking all others” […]

BOYLE: SEN. MENENDEZ REFUSES TO RELEASE TRAVEL RECORDS

The prostitution allegations against New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez have caused the Democrat’s challenger, Republican Joe Kyrillos, to demand that Menendez release his travel records. There are important questions about Menendez’s trips to the Dominican Republic — where two prostitutes have claimed they were paid to have sex with him — and yet the senator’s […]
