Letting the Cat Fight! out of the bag covers for policy failure
Legal Insurrection ^ | November 13, 2012 | William A. Jacobson

It’s easy to get caught up in the Cat Fight! aspect of L’Affaire Petraeus.

The emails that Jill Kelley showed an FBI friend near the start of last summer were not jealous lover warnings like “stay away from my man,” a knowledgeable source tells The Daily Beast.

The messages were instead what the source terms “kind of cat-fight stuff.”

“More like, ‘Who do you think you are? … You parade around the base … You need to take it down a notch,’” according to the source, who was until recently at the highest levels of the intelligence community and prefers not to be identified by name.

And with the hint that this could turn out to go beyond Petraeus, who can resist a #PaulaDoesThePentagon hashtag and a cover like this:

It’s such a great distraction to what lies beneath, a failure to protect our Ambassador despite clear warnings, a cover up, misleading campaign spin, and delay in letting the Cat Fight! out of the bag prior to the election.

Fox News, with some early help by CNN, almost alone has helped uncover the real scandal.  But the real scandal is not making headlines.  How convenient.

A reader writes:

The Chicago machine sure knows how to use distraction to their advantage– they also used it for 4 months in the election when nobody laid a glove on their 4 year dismal record.

Did someone say Cat Fight! Twins! Paula Does The Pentagon!

So will the sequel to “All In” be “Fall Out”?

Maybe one good thing out of all this is that some wives out there won’t let themselves get so frumpy.

That’s the way the communists do.

Good grief...this sounds like stuff I used to hear when teaching in junior high.

That being said, how is it that Obama knows nothing about what is going on with Fast and Furious, or Benghazi or the FBI getting the goods on the Director of the CIA? And Democrats wailed about Romney being “out of touch”!

This is the duty of the presidency we’re talking about here. He should have known this stuff (of course, he did) but he was only interested when he and his Chicago mafia could blackmail Petraeus into giving that laughable “video caused the attack” hearing to Congress.

This blatant lying to Congress and the people is impeachable. And Hillary’s a** should be grass for hiding out in Australia and refusing to testify.

Mrs. Petraeus looks very matronly.

Is that a requirement for females that have a job in the Obama administration?

It would appear that “All In” was a pretty accurate description of things....

No, I think the sequel will be titled “Coitus Interruptus”.

Even the vaulted $300,000,000 Consultant, Turd-blossom Rove and the Mr Electable Romney campaign were distracted by the Obama BS. The Republican Party needs to be buried, it sucks the life out of Conservatives!

Maybe “Ambassadorus Benghazhistanus Coveruptus”?
