Sure did leave that show with a legitimate ‘cliff hanger’ or two.....
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

I think the daughters phone call to the Preacher is ‘fake’. If she does go through with it, Mama Bear is going to be busy taking out the daughter, husband AND Preacher Family.

Husband seems to be losing it...

Sorry, have to disagree. This was not a mere, one time “transgression.” This was a 4 star general who acted as though he was above the law. IMO he deserves jail time. His sentence is the equivalent of a speeding ticket, now that he’s making big bucks for an investment firm.

Apparently not that good, or that honest.

There never is only one.

Best thing he could do would be to set up a tell all interview with major well-known investigative reporter ( Greta Van Sustern), get all the details out there, and take responsibility for his actions. Then he’s basically cleared the way for any future jobs he might tackle, including politics, and there are no more skeletons in the closet. Americans appreciate honesty, and his military record aside from the sad lapse in judgement is still respectable. At least he can acknowledge his failings and not try to deny or cover up aka the Clinyons, the Obama’s, etc.

Martha will soon be assuming room temperature, also.

I suppose this is the risk one takes when one plays ball with the big guys.

It would be nice if he could now write a tell-all book about what he knows about Obama, but I suppose his plea deal with the government includes the requirement that he keep his mouth shut.

I am really surprised she ‘made the cut’ for next season.

Come to think of it, the ‘memo’ the Russkis had about rogue operations and killings may lead to ‘Mama Bears’ demise...

I hope she can get her neck straightened out.

Is this (Jill Kelley, Tampa) a reference to the Lebanese-American babe who was also a friend to Petraeus?

Yes. She and her sister allegedly spent a lot of time partying with brass. I hope it's really being investigated and not being swept under the rug.

Looks like Admiral Fallon was right about Petraeus. He's a weasel.

And next time you see Bill Kristol lecturing us on politics, remember that he was pushing Petraeus for President.

You are absolutely right I only wish obama, hillary, ried, pelosi, boehner, and a host of others were held to the same standard.

I do not use caps on names of those I do not respect; in before any who have a problem with my English Composition, with apologies and respect it is just my own thing.

Although, when you think about it, the current administration has done far more damage to the country when they were preening after Bin Laden’s execution. And what about the SEAL helicopter shot down in Afghanistan? Egypt’s government is convinced Obama is a tool of the Muslim Brotherhood. This thing with Petreus is a smokescreen to deflect attention and punish him as well for not playing along with the State Dept.’s fantasy narratives. Having said that, I have long felt he was over rated.

And Obama, Hillary, and Jarrett remain free. What a sorry state of affairs for this nation.

Petraeus lied to investigators about sharing with his mistress eight classified notebooks containing secret codes, the identities of covert officers, war strategy and notes from National Security Council meetings.

The scum should be spending a decade pounding rocks at Leavenworth, not traveling internationally to earn fat speaking fees.

So Petraeus skates with a slap on the wrist with the judge exclaiming, "Mr. Petraeus, I want to wish you good luck."

Someone got to U.S. Magistrate Judge David Keesler.

Martha Stewart went to prison for being tricked into saying something that wasn't true. And the brave man who nailed her parlayed that into his gig as FBI chief.

And when Janet Reno dies, flags will fly at half mast. It's good to be a bureaucrat.

I don’t know what Jill was getting out of the equation, but she is an eyeful to be sure.
