I think Hugh Hewitt has it right: it was
"[a]n extraordinary week, the events of which will be referred to again and again throughout the next year, and with good reason." The trashing of General Petraeus by moveoon.org and the refusal of any Democratic presidential contender to repudiate the ad is the line in the sand that clearly and defininitely separates the Republicans from the Democrats in this upcoming election cycle. Hillary Clinton's insulting comments to General Petraeus only serves to make this division wider.
I just read a post at the Daily Kos by a nutter named "gopher747" (hat tip, little green footballs) who not only echoed the words of moveon.org and Hillary Clinton but went so far as to call General Petraeus, this incredibly great American, "Bushes media whore". This is the web site that all of the Democrats seek to elicit praise from or at least try not to invoke their ire. I think that to raise the ire of these jokers should be seen as a badge of honor. Thus, to my way of thinking General Petraeus continues to expand his realm of honor.
