He was horny and Monica was interested and cute and available, but there wasn't going to be a deep meeting of the souls between them. By contrast, it sounds like Petreus fell hard for this woman, hard enough that he kept harassing her by email after they'd broken things off. <br /><br />Not to go all French or libertarian on you all, but woudn't we be better off if these guys were paying some clean, high-priced professional to get their extracurricular activities in? I mean, there are reasons not to want Petreus as CIA director, but surely that decision ought to be independent of what he can and can't keep in his pants.

I used to think that this type of thing was a result of the Obama administration's not realizing that it even looks bad because their press coverage is so adulatory. I now think a more Dalrymplesque explanation is more likely ("“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.” ) This is apparent in saddamesque election results in various precints and the like. I think the idea is to shove it in your face "whacha gonna do about it, huh?" The shamelessness is not an accident or a mistake but a feature; it's the "Chicago goes to Washington" model. I'm afraid it's effects will be as pernicious as those Dalrymple discusses.kaganovitchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-30131317172455404532012-11-11T04:08:28.377-08:002012-11-11T04:08:28.377-08:00The most shocking thing about a supposedly great m...The most shocking thing about a supposedly great military power like the US is its absence of generals of distinct talent with formidable personalities.

As regards alma mater she seems to treat it in the same respect as would any upstanding USC or Alabama fan, i.e. lots of photos & commentary on football "rivalry."

She was motivated by jealousy, and the recipient of her threats was Anjelina Jolie.
