Can someone explain to me why everyone cares about where Petraeus puts his dick than about how many innocent Iraqis and Afghans he's slaughtered?

God bless Amurrca.

Way to shatter all of my James Bond-based illusions about the world of espionage.

Or as another friend of mine put it in a post that, ironically, was almost right next to yours on my friends page:

As an Obama pick, the left seems to want to defend him on the grounds that an extramarital affair is a personal matter. Which it totally is, unless you are *hiding* it, in which case, it is a potential wedge for blackmail with the guy holding the keys to the spook vault.

So I think that's a big part of it: secret affair = potential for blackmail.

But also, the American public just has a bizarre fascination with the sex lives of famous people...
