David Patraeus

He was a four star general, the hero of the Iraq war, and the head of the CIA, but now he's out of a job. He resigned yesterday after admitting that he had an extramarital affair. This came as a major shock to everybody in Washington. He had a sterling reputation and the news was just unbelievable. The timing is also curious as it came just after the election and days before he was scheduled to testify about the attack in Benghazi.
