I'm aware of Patreus ' history which is why I mentioned blackmail. I suspect he was setup, basically encouraged to cheat. That doesn't excuse his behavior, agreed. He also inexplicably supported Obie a month or so ago regarding an issue (immigration/borders ?) which you know he doesn't support....under the threat of further humiliation.
My speculation is that Boehner --a powerful, relatively handsome, partier, living alone in Washington--has had some trysts over the years and Obie has found 'em. Pure speculation.
Great post, you gotta wonder if he’s just incredibly corrupt,being blackmailed, stupid or what his problem is.
