After all, they've now thrown their former star Fred Thompson into the "not conservative enough" mix with Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and Mitt Romney. (How crazy-fascist do you have to be if those guys aren't conservative enough?) Is Petraeus the new great olive-drab hope to succeed their beloved Bush?

They already did and he himself too.
The right wing is rooting for Petraeus to take the plunge. On Sept. 6, The New York Sun wrote an editorial titled “Petraeus for President?” The Corner’s Kathryn Jean Lopez approvingly linked to the editorial this morning, titling her post “Dream Sequence.” Last spring, The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol told the Harvard Republican Club that he and other “conservative insider[s]” believe “a ticket of Fred Thompson and David Petraeus might be able to avert electoral disaster for the GOP” in 2008.
It’s unlikely that Petraeus would be as warmly received by the American public. In anticipation of this week’s congressional testimony, 53 percent of the public believed Petraeus would “try to make the situation in Iraq look better than it really is.” According to a Rasmussen poll of major political figures, Petraeus has an approval rating of only 24 percent — a number lower than even Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.

Not so funny when Democrats' won't do anything to stop the Moveon.org ad fiasco.
Ask Pelosi why Congress wanted a report from Petraeus if they weren't interested in what he had to say.
Then come and bash on right wingers. But clean your own house first.

No. I'm sure he's got a nice corporate job waiting for him, like most prostitutes do.

No thank you, but you Dems could never come up with someone THAT good.
