Damn Raq.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
found an article about Broadwell:
Apparently she had some poor judgment too. For someone supposedly as well-traveled as she was, why she was not aware of dressing standards in Afghanistan is beyond me. I know this and I have never been to the Middle East.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"The Onion broke this story two months ago, but the mainstream media covered it up to protect Obama prior to the election."
That...is fantastic.
I also found this moderately-spoilery comment from Monday's Homeland recap on Vulture to be ironically relevant:
Thanks to Homeland, how many cheating Washington mates are going to use, “I’m working for the CIA” as an all-purpose alibi? It sounds so much better than “I’m working late at the office.” And you can’t press too hard because of “national security.”

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Did y'all see Ann Hathaway on SNL doing her impression of Claire Danes character from Homeland? I can't vouch for its accuracy but it was funny.

move out and draw fire
On a totally other topic, has anyone here used TaskRabbit, or is anyone a TaskRabbit? Thoughts? I'm thinking about posting for help wi craigslisting stuff.

Trust my rage
I know we don't have facts, but I thought it was Broadwell who sent threatening emails to the other woman from Petreaus' account? Or something like that?
I don't really get why he resigned either. I read somewhere that he was doing well at the CIA and better than one might expect of a general. I mean, was sending emails dumb, sure, but why did he have to resign?

Did she do a lot of overly wide craxyeyes?

Javachick has used it and liked it.
I want to know who the other other woman was in the P4 scandal. She had to be somebody pretty high up that she warranted and FBI investigation over harassing email.

That seems to be a big part of the discussion too. A lot of people are saying there is nothing there (that we know of) that necessitated resigning. He certainly seemed respected and valued by all. My completely naive and uninformed opinion that it is just a part of his personal character that he had to resign because he screwed up and that was the price to be paid.
It is a fascinating thing to watch, but I do feel very bad for the innocent parties.

She was a State Department liaison to the military.
