saw part of a new South Park where everyone found out that Jesus used drugs to help him perform his miracles. Everyone was so outraged they were all taking off their WWJD yellow wrist bands. One of the kids kept his on and became the next hero, even getting a NIKE commercial. That's all I saw but it was pretty funny.
EDIT: I checked their sight and here is the link to the show:

Petraeus .... what does the govt do with a guy like this?
I mean this guy knows more about a lot of insider sh!t then anyone, even the president.
They let him go over some woman.
Holy sh!t the russian could offer him millions to talk.
This guy Petraeusis a "Hot security asset".
He could be kidnapped and tortured?
Does the govt just let guys like him walk out the door and go to the mall to shop?

Petraeus news story is a dud?
They just let him go to the mall and buy a bass fishing rod to become Joe sixpack to go to Louisiana to go fishing.
That's it?
There's nothing in the CIA worth sh!t then ....?

this should be on its own thread, but since people are comparing to Patraeus, here's a new look (at least new to me)
http://www.commondreams.org/view/2012/11/10-4
it seems he was dicking with and sabotaging the President's aims, for his own neo-con purposes. I'll bet they were sitting on the girlfriend info until it was a good time to kick his ass out.

Its funny, I just read an article recently were some military specialist was complaining that they don't fire generals anymore. It seems in WWII, if you lost one battle you were demoted, but now (so this guy argues) its all about looking out for each other's careers. Anyway, his last comment was that the only way a general could get fired in this day and age is if he had a relationship with a subordinate. then two days later the Patraeus thing comes out in the public. lol true enough, though there evidently is a bigger back story to the story....

I doped extensively during my (amateur) racing career.
Carbonized herbal supplements administered through a tube and caffeine infusions.
Wow, I feel so much better now!

He is the Highest decorated Officer in the Military
He advocated, and should be upheld to the highest standard of the Military Code Of Honor
He has no excuse, he Must resign, or be Court Marshaled
Funny, General Colin Powell tells a pack of lies to the UN and gets us in an unjustified, illegal war that kills thousands and somehow the real demon is a guy who can't resist a little nooky

MH, what betrayus did to earn that name is he went along with Bush, Cheney, et al when it was crystal clear to the other military men, and should have been obvious to him as well, that it was a no-win situation. Betrayus was willing to do anything to further his career, including stepping on the necks of his brothers in arms.
The other miltary man you name eventually came to speak the truth in public, dead-ending his career. betrayus bought, literally, some temporary peace by paying out hundreds of millions in cash to the very groups that were targeting our soldiers. Isn't that how we created the terror groups that eventually attacked us on 9/11?
Of course, that was nothing new to his leaders who had sold out our hostages in Iran to buy some political capital against Jimmy Carter. Sell them arms, give the money to another terrorist group, the contra's, and make sure the Iranians won't bargain with President Carter. I'm not so sure that the ill-advised rescue mission they eventually sold him on wasn't sabotaged to ensure it's failure.
After all they were the same guys that also sold Sadam his WMD's and then let him use them against his own citizens. You know, the ones Bush sr. told to "rise up, and we will support you". Bush gave him permission to fly helicopters armed with poison gas and kill those very same freedom fighters. Junior and cheney used this event as proof of the weapons existence a decade later to get us into another disasterous war.
Betrayus lined up his star with those treasonous bastards and now the chicken has come home to roost. He deserves whatever he gets, but it wont be enough because he, both bushes, cheney, probably a half dozen others should be lined up against a wall and shot for selling out our country. Sorry, my country. I know you're from the GWN...

Bold by me.
So what you're really stating is that the yellow jersey means absolutely nothing to anyone, since Landis, Contador were doping, we know guys like Hinault, Merckx, Indurain slipped out quietly and discretely before the sh#t really hit the fan, etc.
In other words every winner of the Tour de France for decades has used performance enhancing drugs, some have been caught, but for whatever reason only Lance receives your scorn. Weird.
The whole enchalida is a sham, has been for a long time (doesn't mean that the riders don't train hard), and the only reason performance enhancing drugs are still involved are because the sponsors, race organizers, etc. (read the money and power behind the race) advocate it. If they didn't the races wouldn't be doing them (not that they should not be responsible for their actions).
Again, why do you continue to single out Lance?

Because Lance lies with less shame and more self-righteousness then all the others put together. He also made $130 million doing it - and continues to deny to this day that he has done anything wrong and insists that his accusers are simply pursuing self serving vendettas. It's all just so shameless.

So, having read only this page I get the impression that Petraeus outed Lance.
Am I close?
