Men with power forget just how vulnerable they really are in the scheme of things. Eliot Spitzer...we had high hopes for you.

I feel sorry for his wife.

Holly Petraeus may have known about affair all along - family friends tell Fox. Why reveal it now...just days before Petraeus to testify?

Nobody knows what actually goes in a couples personal life except the couple. Holly might've been good with it. You just don't know.

David Petraeus and Paula Broadwell affair: FBI investigation found emails showing CIA director affair with biographer.
I think it's part of a cover up. I think that the CIA knew of the upcoming Benghazi attack and Petraeus let it slide in order to cause trouble for Obama. When it didn't work, the military flew a drone into Iran airspace to create a state of fear.

Now, it's payback time.

Great point. This is an issue that only the very naive fail to take into consideration. Although one might demand a partner to be discreet, there are instances when a couple agrees to have seperate lives while maintaining a seemingly "normal" relationship. Maybe the woman has lost interest in the man physically, emotionally...whatever and gives the green light for him to play. Maybe it's a mutual decision based on any number of things. Some women/men even get turned on at the thought of someone else finding the partner attractive. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors. I thought about this during the Clinton thing. But that is what having an open mind is all about.

I though after Bill Clinton, no one even cared about these issues? Did anything he did interfere with his professional duties, to the point of making him ineffectual? If not, what he does behind closed doors, including in the dang CIA Office is his business. There is NO allegations of sexual harrassment or forcing her to have sex with him.

If every person who had sex while married or to someone else which were married, there would be MILLIONS of people resigning from their jobs. I'm betting over half this board would be in the unemployment lines. Really? Who the hell cares?

Excatly, Hall Pass wasn't just a movie, it's reality. We don't know if it's the case in this situation but we just don't know.

I think I heard that it was based upon very stringent rules about extramarital affairs when employed by the CIA. They feel it sets an employee up for blackmail and scandal and the possibility of access to sensitive information on the part of the employees lover.
