So I guess

When many folks figured that Patraeus was getting serviced by a fawning press corps it also happened to be l-i-t-e-r-a-l-l-y true.

So what you will about Robert Caro, he never slept with LBJ.

It's equally true that Petraeus was only metaphorically in bed with Max Boot and Robert Kagan when he gave them a tour of Afghanistan so they could write about how wonderfully things were going there.

Now that he's been found to be literally fucking his hagiographer, maybe people will take a bit more notice of his status as the most politically- and PR-conscious general since MacArthur.
