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."

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