Maggie's Farm

Popcorn time, but popcorn with a deathly flavor. Now that the MSM has their candidate elected, perhaps they might take interest in this colorful story. Colorful, except for the terrible and avoidable deaths of good, valiant, and innocent Americans who seem to have been pawns in a larger political game. They are the only heroes here.

The awful story has illicit sex, glory, spies, ambition and careerism, perfidy, dishonor, innocent deaths, Moslems, an election, the White House, the Pentagon, Hillary - everything. It's a Tom Clancy.

As for me, I question the timing with "King David." The cover-up always gets them. Best to admit tragic error right away, but people are less likely to admit calculated decisions.

Believe me, Petraeus' "betray us" was known well-before the FBI began snooping. Nobody gets a senior job without a meticulous colonoscopy. If you were ever cheating, they pursue every rumor and know all about it.  Unless one is an elected Democrat, of course, in which case one's sexual history is irrelevant.

Funny how much the MSM loved the Hurricane Sandy story much better, despite the fact that it is really another Katrina story. Well, mostly white folks were flooded out, so who cares? No lasting narrative there. Where is Staten Island anyway? Mostly middle-class Republican Italians, right?
