In case you’ve been living under a rock (or like me, without power) for the past day or so, CIA Director David Petraeus was caught having an affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, by the FBI. He has since resigned.
It’s a good thing we have social media to inform us of such breaking news in a mature and serious way.
Just kidding! Twitter, in its typical manner, snarked the hell out of it. Let’s look at the funniest.

Petraeus may have banged his biographer but at least he didn’t run the Princeton offense with 3 all stars. #HireDougMoe
