#3 there are plenty of people with National Security credentials

Petraeus showed horribly poor judgement multiple times with Broadwell.

I'd like someone else in the job of Nat Sec Advisor

#4 Forget about Petraeus and Flynn, I'm still waiting for a thorough airing of Obama's, and Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton's crimes. When the rule of law is returned and the swamp is drained, let me know.

"I feel there's been a double standard," Broadwell said, adding, "I take full responsibility for the mistakes that I did make."

They were a bit more than 'mistakes' Ms. Braodwell. They were gross violations of the UCMJ and the law. Consider yourself fortunate in not writing from the Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, KS. Please drop the pathetic, droning whine as well.

#6 "I feel there's been a double standard," Broadwell said

Yeah, sometimes it just doesn't pay to put your clothes on in the morning--or the screwing you get just isn't worth the screwing you get; ya da ya da ya da in other words.

#7 Somehow I don't remember ABCNBCCBSCNN going bananas over the Petraeus/Broadwell scandal. It doesn't seem to me they were all going on and on and on about the chaos in the Obama administration like they all are now with this Flynn thing. So yeah, you might call it a double standard. I'd call it hypocrisy. No. I'd call it bullshit.

#8 "The irony is again that David Petraeus is being considered for this position, which is terrific, he's very qualified, and as I said everyone should be able to go on with their life. But he's two months away from a two-year probation period being finished, and I'm still in limbo with the military," Broadwell said.

The guy is still on probation and couldn't even get a job at a local sheriff's office. Why in the world would he be considered for any high level governmental position? Thank you Paula for reminding us.

#9 compare to Illary's treatment...

#10 Dude, who'd deny David his solace?
Bathsheba when bathing was flawless!
1. Cease pubic coition.
2. Make act of contrition.
3. Go venerate Petrus and Paulus.
