It should be noted also that Holly Patraeus is a tireless advocate for veterans. It's not relevant to his resignation but she deserves some props for more than being the mother of General Sexy-time's children.

During World War II, Allied Supreme Commander Dwight David Eisenhower had an affair with his English driver, Kay Summersby. Ike told his superior officer, General George Marshall, he was going to divorce Mamie and marry Kay. Marshall told Ike he wasn't about to divorce Mamie, to hurry up and get Kay out of his blood and get it over with.

After the War, Summersby eventually came to the US , married, and in 1973 her doctors gave her six months to live. Her last job was as fashion consultant for the film THE STEPFORD WIVES. And she wrote, for she said she wanted the truth to be known.

Her book was finished before she died. The title, "PAST FORGETTING, My Love Affair With Dwight D. Eisenhower."

To his credit, Ike never denied the affair. War correspondents and others knew about the affair but said nothing because it had nothing to do with Ike's abilities. It was never brought up when Ike entered politics although it was common knowledge in some ranks.

Things have certainly changed since then. Anyone wish to venture as to when it all changed?

However, you won't budge RC when he can sniff up a Clinton scandal- that fella is like a snapping turtle, he won't turn loose until thunder is heard. Vince Foster killed himself with a gun Hillary passed along to him and Hillary loaded it herself. Y'betcha.

I feel a little heartache for Dolly Patraeus. She is a slightly dowdy, middle-aged woman who no doubt made a lot of personal sacrifices to further her husbands career. She deserved better.

Hmmm, and he was supposed to testify before Congress next week about Benghazi.
