Well, I just want to know who y'all think is hotter/sexier - Broadwell or Kelley. Petraeus or Allen.

When was the last time you saw a public official purged for sex, or even running a brothel?

The real subject involves jobs given, people murdered and blame displaced, but you are not going to hear about that-it is not for public consumption and will take place behind closed doors.
Of course, you're right, as usual. I think you're probably the most intelligent gent on APC. Of course, there are bigger fish to fry and I'm sure there's tons of stuff behind the scenes which is much more important. However, the sex angle is just too delicious to resist! I'm sure the screenplay is being written as we speak....

Is excellent, thank you. You're planting so many words in others mouths your train of thought is hard to follow. Must you put everyone down?

I don't get the gal thing on the generals - it must be a power thing.

As for the girls - Kelley is already bankrupt, and Broadwell is about to be - so none of the above.

Not everyone.

Yup. Good friend of Lon Chaney (Sr.) BTW.

I'm responding a little late, and I realized you've already addressed this, but Petraeus didn't respond to looks (there are plenty of hot sweet young things around for him), he responded to adulation. She damn near stalked the guy into submission, from her part. From his part, he knew exactly what was happening and did nothing to stop it. He should have known better - period.

Holly Petraeus is basically an average looking sixtyish woman (and that's about my age, and that's about what my wife looks like). You can't give alibis to all of us.
