Petraeus Resigns

Because he's running for the GOP nomination for President in 2016? No! Oh no, it's John Edwards all over again!:

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has confirmed to TPM that Gen. David Petraeus has resigned as the director of the CIA.

"Yesterday afternoon, I went to the White House and asked the President to be allowed, for personal reasons, to resign from my position as D/CIA," Petraeus said in a statement, obtained by CNN. "After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours. This afternoon, the President graciously accepted my resignation."
