They did have time for such important things as this......

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress is back in town after the election to find a way around automatic tax increases and spending cuts in January. But first, lawmakers are dealing with 41 polar bear carcasses.

In its first roll call since September, the Senate voted 92-5 on Tuesday to debate a bill to ease restrictions on hunters and fishermen and allow 41 U.S. hunters to bring home polar bear carcasses trapped in Canada due to a ban on trophy imports.

You know your hitting a nerve with these guys when they refer to your point of view on 4 dead Americans as a witch hunt......

"Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) confirmed Thursday that she will seek the chairmanship of the Senate Budget Committee next year but told The Hill that she cannot commit to doing a budget.

This opens up the possibility that Senate Democrats will avoiding passing a budget resolution for the fourth year in a row."......................

I don't want to paint Petraeus as a saint - but man ---- reading the stories that are coming out

---

Seems like he associated with some real power hungry women.

Latest story is the woman from Florida wanted money in exhcnage for alleged connections in South Korea.

The thing that drives me nuts is that this is a general (okay - CIA Director) who makes decisions that really impact soldier lives. It offends me that people live in soap opera lives while the people who work for them lay their lives on the line.

I said the same thing to a friend recently BB.
When it is your child serving under this man.....your perspective is a little different.
I do think that Petraeus is having a "come to Jesus moment" as we speak.
I am hoping he is giving some thought to all those brave Americans who have served him so well.
Our son was involved in Operation steel Curtain. It was the first implementation of Petraeus "Surge" in Iraq that turned the Anbar Province around and changed the direction of the Iraq War. 11 brave Marines were killed on Nov 16, 2005 while serving under Petraeus. My son barely made it home.

My respect for him is greater today by virtue of his candor with the house and senate at the risk of potentially going to jail for being less than honest with congress on the 14th of September.
Perhaps he cannot be bought by this administration.

Perhaps the administration never tried to buy him. Do you have any source to back up your insinuation that they did?

Jill Kelley dined at the White House more than once. More interesting.

She's also a couple of million dollars in debt; and has her nose up the b*tt of the "shirtless" FBI agent that was passing information to Eric Cantor before the whole Petreus story broke... What a sweetheart...

Whatever floats your boat:

Jill Kelley was given a White House tour and twice dined in the White House staff dining room after being invited by a mid-level aide.

You're stretching there, Fred.

All I said was she dined at the White House, how is that a stretch? The same White House who had dinner crashers.
