    I question his abilities as the Chief of Spies if he can't keep it under wraps...

    Okay, so it's because we women just shrivel up around 40. Got it.

    But that's when men get more attractive.

    ETA: I don't plan on letting myself go as much as poor Mrs. Petraeus.

    You must not have ever read Flowers for Algernon, then.

    No you shrivel up bc you can't normally reproduce. So nature rules you out by fading a females looks.

    Men get more attractive bc they can. And young bitches need older dudes to take care of them.

    I don't even know what an algernon is. But I'm guessing it has nothing to do with my inference.

    Algernon is a mouse, actually. But it certainly did have to do with your inference. Charlie Gordon, the main character, had a IQ of 72, which was increased surgically; therefore, he went from mentally-challenged to genius. It's a science fiction novel from the 60's that I've taught to 8th graders through the years.

    Really. I mean he was using an anonymous Gmail account and and never sending the emails. They both logged in to the same account and read each others drafts. Geez, do you think Al Qaeda ever thought of that?

    The FBI is pretty sophisticated, General. They understand things like machine addresses. When you work at the CIA every keystroke you make is documented.

    I never thought that ex-generals made good CIA chiefs. Generals are accustomed to being surrounded by loyal sycophants, making orders without challenge, never being questioned, and are very high-profile individuals. They are type-A high-achievers who rose to the top in a sea of type-A high-achievers. The CIA chief should be a career spook. A sneaky bastard who rose to the top in a sea of sneaky bastards and who knows how to lay low and not attract undue attention from the press, the enemy, and the bimbos.
