i picture the whole thing unfolding as one grand pecker-check exercise….

Petraeus will win on points: length, girth, poundage.

Press will report that it was actually about style and grooming, and award the prize to {insert flavor of the moment}.

Biden answered this job ad many years ago:

Law school cheat who seeks relevance as senior Dem statesman while “Blowing in the Wind”.

Gen P will do fine with the facts with those not addicted to nitrous oxide.

Apparently that crocodile smile was used by Biden on Clarence Thomas, according to Thomas’ recent biography. Biden’s not loved in the Thomas household for saying one thing and doing another in the hearings.

Lex, I like your analysis of the coming bloodletting. Pretty much spot on, IMO.

Fortunately, Petraeus is cool under fire. If the hearings get much coverage on nightly TV news, I imagine Joe Sixpak will separate the wheat from the chaff. I think the Dems attempts to bloody him up, will be not play well in Peoria.
