| Paula Broadwell, the biographer with whom former CIA director David Petraeus had an extramarital affair, abandoned her bid for a doctorate from Harvard in 2007, failing to advance to PhD candidacy after four semesters at the Kennedy School of Government, and now faces the prospect of an ethical review at King’s College London, where she has resumed pursuit of a doctorate. The revelations about her mixed academic record add to the portrait of a principal figure in the Petraeus scandal who has refused to respond to multiple Globe requests for comment and hasn’t spoken publicly

The destruction of Paula Broadwell in full execution mode. So if they can dig up this level of detail on her school work, what about the emperor´s? God help us!

Why do we know that she fell short so quickly from the msm but nothing about little barry´s academic record?

She is an easily recognizable type. If you´re another woman.
I agree with those who believe this investigative journalistic zeal should have been applied to Barack Hussein Obama a long time ago. Who knows what they´d have found out about him if they´d only dug around. They clearly know how.

When will they investigate Obamas grades at Occidental, Columbia and Harvard?
How could he be Editor of Law review without publishing a thing?
Why did he lose his license?
Why did Michelle lose her license?
How could Warren practice law without a license and be a Harvqrd Law Prof?
Why was Biden charged with plagiarism? Teddy Kennedy?
Whatever her alleged shortcomings- they are infinitesimal compared to the fraud in the WH and those who enabled him and continue to protect him.
Fur American patriots were murdered and they watched and did nothing. Why did zippy want Amb. Stevens dead?
What did he know?

Good article.
She got too busy after meeting Petraeus and dropped the ball at Harvard.
well, hard play and no work does that.
Sounds like she didn´t mind a little spin on the facts either even before Harvard.

Obama´s political career started with two state-level wins built on "sealed court records" getting into the hands of a corrupt, complicit media that willingly made them public.
But he´s spent $2 million to make sure his records are harder to find than Jimmy Hoffa. Of course, the Leftist media aren´t doing any digging for them.
59 districts in Philadelphia recorded almost 20,000 Obama votes to zero -- yes, zero -- Romney votes. And many other black districts across the country recorded 100% -- or more -- turnout. Crick. Ets.
The Mullahs have an over-under betting line going in Tehran on the yield of their first nuke weapons test.
But in days, this nonsense is everywhere.
How about that?

I´m more interested in WHY 4 U.S. citizens were purposely left to die in Benghazi. This outed affair that the WH knew about before the election is nothing more than a side story to shut up any discussion on the colassal ineptitude that permeates the WH.

Maybe she didn´t get the degree because she refused to kiss the butt of the left wing professors.But yeah,the media is on a rampage to destroy this woman and who knows why.Making her the star villain in this ignores the fact the general should have known better.
The raid on her house and now this investigation on someone without a criminal history is mind boggling.
The split personality of the media on this is mind boggling also.They´re more than happy to sensationalize a hapless sex affair but refuse to dig one inch into the Benghazi debacle.

They keep saying Ms. Broadwell is a "married mother of two young children." When did she have time for this dear family? On weekends between Harvard classes? During furloughs from Afghanistan? Commuting from Denver? Or did she just drop those babies, hire a nanny or two, and make herself scarce? Can you imagine this woman changing diapers and making sure DH´s dinner is on the table when he gets home from a long day at the hospital? Can you imagine Wonder Woman on interminable play dates, making nice with other kids´ underachieving mommies? How quaintly Last Century.

Organized Labor: On the surface, the Los Angeles mayor´s race looked like a choice between Coke and Pepsi. But Eric Garcetti´s lopsided win over Wendy Greuel showed a major difference — in the public´s view of unions. City Controller Greuel lost 54%-46% on Tuesday, bested by City Councilman Garcetti, who will become the mayor of America´s second-largest city on July 1. It was an interesting result because the candidates are two peas in a pod. Both are left-wing Democrats with ideas so closely aligned they have been political allies; both grew up in the San Fernando Valley;

Argentine government trade restrictions on overseas sales of beef have turned Paraguay into Mercosur third largest exporter behind Brazil and Uruguay. The first place last year belonged to Brazil with exports of 1.3 million tons; Uruguay, 350.000 tons; Paraguay, 210.00 and finally Argentina.183.000 tons. The poor international performance of Argentina, once the world leading beef exporter is attributed to the measures first implemented by President Nestor Kirchner in 2006 and continued by her wife and current head of state.

An editorial at Investors.com Monday noted that, having succeeded twice at electing a candidate with a radical socialist background, Barack Obama’s political advisors have now moved from a goal of merely controlling the “narrative,” to one of control of the actual “news.” The “seizure of AP phone records and surveillance of Fox employees,” says the editorial, demonstrates the White House’s “real aim.” The editorial observes that Obama’s political advisors have reveled in their ability to work the media. They took an otherwise inferior candidate, who is not representative of most Americans in

Statism: Pope Francis seemed to have an economic blind spot, to say the least, when he urged more "state control" to cut global poverty Thursday. On the contrary — the biggest poverty-killer in history is free enterprise.Before we go further, let us say that we know that the pope does seem to have the best intentions and his devotion to the poor is indisputable. But it appears he has been infected by the local economic pathologies of his homeland, Argentina, and its liberation theology among the Jesuits, at least when he warned ambassadors about "the tyranny of money"

Democracy: The IRS targeting of Tea Party groups is mind-boggling not only for its abuse of government power. It´s also disturbing for what it intended to do: destroy civil society, opening a door for tyranny. The formation in 2009 of hundreds of Tea Party groups at the rallying cry of CNBC news editor Rick Santelli, from places as diverse as Lowell, Mass., Pleasanton, Calif., Asheville, N.C., Yuma, Ariz., and Lincoln, Neb., among hundreds of others, was a spontaneous reaction by ordinary American citizens to an overspending, oversized government whose overreach called into question its constitutionality.

Many observers have pondered if the United States is following the same troubled path as Argentina. In the 1940s, Argentina’s Juan Domingo Perón used government agencies for political gain and created a popular form of fascism called Perónism. In the United States, the recent revelation of the Internal Revenue Service targeting political enemies is a bad omen. Are we on an Argentinean course? The road to decay in my native country, Argentina, began with the implementation of one of the most powerful collectivist doctrines of the 20th century: fascism.

CARACAS, Venezuela — First milk, butter, coffee and cornmeal ran short. Now Venezuela is running out of the most basic of necessities — toilet paper. Blaming political opponents for the shortfall, as it does for other shortages, the embattled socialist government says it will import 50 million rolls to boost supplies. That was little comfort to consumers struggling to find toilet paper on Wednesday. "This is the last straw," said Manuel Fagundes, a shopper hunting for tissue in downtown Caracas. "I´m 71 years old and this is the first time I´ve seen this." One supermarket visited by The Associated Press

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Longoria, 38, took home a real degree (not an honorary one) in Chicano studies from Cal State Northridge, where she physically attended classes for three years, according to TMZ. "Big day today!!! Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose
