Power vs the Penis

Following the scandal of Petraeus, which is now being linked to CIA leaks and the accountability for the Benghazi incident, it has occurred to me how trite it is to follow a trail of bullshit and gossip as "grownups" act out a sophomoric stereotype.

Similar to an episode of Gossip Girl, or any day in any given high school, Johnny slept with Janie, who threated Tammy, who is the bff of Johnny, but is sleeping with Aaron, who is the Capt of the football team. They all have significant others (and families) who are impetuously disregarded  in this scenario. Like a high school love triangle, these professional leaders have reduced our government, and their careers to a joke.
Text messages, emails, late night phone calls.
Whores and the men who pursue them.
Ass-Clowns and the girls who love them.
How shall we spin this?

The people running this country, and responsible for the safety and military action as such, are expected to  have more common sense, and value for their profession and our country, not to mention their families. This submission to human nature is not unexpected, nor is it unnatural. The events which followed are the insults to the American citizen, and show the disregard for the American people, which deem the government as incapable of maintaining security for our State, as they are of keeping their dicks in their pants.
There is a time and a place for everything.
High school was the time and place for this rancid, immature behavior.

Now, what I had to stop and acknowledge was the fact that men in positions of power constantly get caught with their pants down. Why? because women love men who appear to be powerful.
Wife or not. "State at risk", or not.
Historically, women want to taste that power, feel like they have seduced the power of man. Look at the premise of Sampson and Delilah, or the Trojan War. We are doomed to repeat this story over and over because men will always be tempted by Delilah and lose their power.
Women have been used to acquiesce control, and whether that means enticing someone unattainable, or running the home of a powerful man from the back room, women are well versed in where their talents lie and what it takes to allow a man to be in control while still maintaining control.
Chris Rock once said, there is nothing better than pussy, except new pussy. When incidents like this get documented, and powerful men get caught, it seems textbook:
Men appear to be incapable of resisting "new pussy".
And, no doubt, as soon as the newness wears off, it is simply the same punani it was before you needed to confirm it wasn't any different. Or maybe that is the issue. I overheard a bartender telling a  trainee, "well, of course it was different, it's all different." But, in reality it is not the strange that attracted you in the first place - it was the concept of conquering.
Politicians have become rock stars. We expect singers to get ass. That's part of the reuirement for being a rock star...panties. But when did the leaders of the free world get so hot? Oh, Clinton, that's right. The blow job heard round the world, in conjunction with the worldwide spread and access of the internet.

The men that have an ego  large enough to think they can run a country rarely have the moral value (or time) it takes to be committed to that task as well as keep their personal promises. More often than not, you have to give up playing nice if you want to be in control of anything capitalistically valuable. The hours and hours of time you commit to an office cannot be compensated for at home. Relationships take time, and so does building an empire - it is rare that both can be done simultaneously.

I do believe that the struggle of man is of the basest sense: power vs. the penis. More often than not, the penis wins. Food water sex = needs of man. Power is contrived. A lion is not only the king, he gets all the girls too.
