My CIA friend reports that Petraeus acted like a complete ass.

That would make sense, him being a complete ass and all. I don't really mind his zipper problem when it comes to being qualified to serve in a high ranking govt position. We've had plenty of that type that have done their jobs well, BUT pillow talking with the bimbo and sharing confidential information? Now that shows a serious lack of intelligence. Wasn't Hillary enough of an example for us as to what happens when you put a dummy in a position of power like that?

I think this is Donald trolling the media and the democrats.

He’s saying “hey, no one had a problem with Clinton as SoS and she did worse”

They are being considered. Possibly neither of them get the final pick. Trump is doing it so that he can say that he has an open mind on the matter.

Gary Busey for Secretary of State.

He'd have been a great SoS if the witch had won the election. Our second brain damaged SoS!

Hillary, Biden, Pelosi, Reid... what is it with Democrats, is brain damage one of their requirements for high office?

He supports Al Qaeda in Syria. He is essentially a terrorist. No F*cking way.

His security clearance was revoked. The mishandling of classified material, I think, should prevent him from getting a new security clearance.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he is just trying to punk media again. They are after all stupid and gullible. How many times has he punked them? And they just keep being surprised. A lot of names are being thrown around. My bet is that he is having some fun with this.
