Extramarital affairs in DC
By The Bakersfield Californian
I don't understand the big flap about Gen. David Petraeus' extramarital affair. That is between him and his wife. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy -- all presidents of the United States -- were caught with their pants down and not one of them resigned. Kennedy was the biggest offender and everyone thought he was a hero. There were presidents before them who had affairs. Congressmen are still having affairs. It seems to be the thing to do in Washington, D.C.
