Found! Petraeus´ mistress
discovered lying low in DC

Daily Mail (UK), by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:FlyRight, 11/14/2012 7:11:26 AM

She could be any other American housewife preparing an evening meal with a glass of wine in her hand - but the strain on the face of Paula Broadwell is all too clear to see.Pictured for the first time since news of her scandalous affair with shamed former CIA boss David Petraeus became public on Friday, the 40-year-old mother-of-two has taken refuge at her brother´s house in the Petworth suburb of Washington D.C.She was seen looking pensive as she sipped a glass of red wine and spoke to a man and woman in the kitchen.

They might as well cast Sandra Bullock to play the Jill Kelley role in the film which is certain to surface. They look alike.
.... There can be little doubt that a script is in the works.

Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp could play Broadwell and Petraeus in the movie.

These people, Petraeus and the potato sack wearer, belong in a rundown trailer park. Ditto for the other creepy General and the "biographer" broad.

I disagree #1 - Sandra Bullock has too much class. The twins, no matter how affluent, look like tramps. Why are all their pictures the same with heads slanted in opposite directions? Also their upper "lady parts" don´t look real.

What I find so sad is the probable ruined careers of the husbands - Broadwell and Kelly. While I feel sad for Holly Petreaus - she probably never saw this coming - I´m surprised that no one ever got hold of her and helped her to modernize - especially her hair! She could have benefited from going to the gym, losing weight - the General was fit - the wife should be too.

Not looking so good now Ms. Broadwell. No husband or kids in sight. And does Liz Kelley always dress like she´s off o a cocktail party? And being millions in debt how does she afford cell phone service, fresh cut roses and all that makeup. ? And why is she still living in that house? Maybe she should sell the diamond ring. She should be in a homeless shelter. I am so sick of users. Petraeus believed his own press and actually thought these women were attacked to him and not his position and power. Aren´t there any good people left?

Photos Holly Petraeus´s desk would be appropriate. Mrs P. was provided an executive position in the newly created Consumer Financal Protection Unit in 2011 as part of Obama´s blackmail campaign of her CIA Director husband. Mrs P. job in this "consumer affairs" unit created by massive Dodd-Frank bill was to advise military families on their financial affairs & rights. Acting head of agency, Elizabeth Warren, appointed Holly, surely at suggestion of Obama. Appointment was classic Chicago machine politics: Create enormous bureaucracy to "protect" consumers and then staff it with people who will protect, knowingly or unknowingly, Obama.

Don´t most people in hiding pull all the curtains? The pictures of the two women look so similarly composed - something extremely odd is going on here. And, tip to Broadwell, no more going in DC parks if you value your life.

Using bimbos to take down political opponents is the oldest trick in the book, and yet it works time and time again. For all her West Point aura Broadwell is a bimbo--just the 2012 kind. Kelley is more the old-fashioned kind.

Poster #3 commented on the exact thing I was wondering about looking at pictures of the Kelleys.

When they are photographed together they can´t seem to straighten their necks out.

You look at pictures of these women and wonder why the two Generals threw their careers away over something so common and obvious. SMH

#7....oh come on, Bullock has class? She´s a far left wing Marxist like the rest of those Hollywood folks. Oh yes I used to love her characters in films but after reading about her being a left wing radical like the rest of the crowd, such as Streissand, Cher, Ellen Barkin, Eva Longoria, Angelina Jolie and others) I moved her from the "good actress" to the "marxist actress" list.

(Note: Ellen Barkin was vehemently anxious for Hurrican Isaac to hit Tampa and kill all pro-life advocates. Wonder how she feels about Sandy hitting the Liberal Marxist bastions? Why is this patheic sub-human a respected actress?)

I know there are some who say they will only see movies that star Conservative actors such as Clint Eastwood (who I do admire). That is just fooling ourselves because their supporting actors or the behind the scenes crew may be the far left wingers. Act of Valor is one exception, it had no left wingers in the film.

I don´t go to movies anymore so as not to support their politics or their over priced movies.

Back to the Generals. WHY are the alleged press not doing to Obama and Valerie Jarrett what they are doing to Petraeus and Broadwell? Is it because they really don´t possess even a smidgen of Ethics and Integrity? As I always say, Prove Me Wrong!

I doubt that either of these nerdy-looking generals has ever thought he looked attractive. They were fair game for sexy younger women to bolster their insecurity in the one area they could do nothing about - their appearance. Allen has no chin. And his eyes are buried in bags. Petraeus is just downright strange-looking - and rather short. As one writer said yesterday, Broadwell played to Petraeus´s narcissism, made him feel good about himself. Ditto Kelley and Allen?


Reply 22 - Posted by: donnaclaire, 11/14/2012 9:08:47 AM     (No. 9013370)

As a strictly peripheral issue, Mrs. Broadwell, in all her appearances, exudes her narcissistic nature. Her clothes and her constant "look at me - I´m the most desirable, sexy woman who ever lived and I know you want me" look is apparent. Not that important in the overall scheme of things, but something most of us (we women) can recognize a mile away.

You´d think the two generals would have better taste if they´re going to stray. These two women don´t appear to have that much going for them - looks or brains. Integrity is always a nice quality too.

Please! Leave Mrs. Petraeous out of this. Her husband´s breech of ethics is NOT her fault. The other women in question are more than 20 years younger than she. They may not look so good when they are her age.

What type of documents did Broadwell (who admitted such according to the article) remove from government offices. This should be research more and why has it already been stated that there most likely would be no prosecution.

Was the only objective in this to remove Petraus from the CIA?

Already comments made about a court martial for him, but comment is that the "affair" began AFTER he became head of the CIA.

There is no way Captain zero and Axelrod did not know about this prior to the election. IMO, blackmail was being used and Petraus fessed up to stop being used for the Benghazi incident. All leads back to the Oval office and Capt. zero.

If this British tabloid is correct, then the divine Paula swiped classified government documents and took them home. Hope she is registered "Democrat", otherwise the poor thing may be looking at some jail time.

This feminist icon was admitted to West Point? This is the quality of graduate they´re turning out now? We´re a long way from Eisenhower, MacArthur, Robert E. Lee, and hell, George Custer, for that matter. Would any professional feminist moles on Lucianne care to excuse her conduct?

#27, I pretty much agree about the quality of the current West Point graduates, if she is the prototype. Having known several men who graduated from West Point, I was prepared to be impressed by Broadwell. The only thing really impressive about her is the same as the local fitness trainer: her body and the ability to run a fast mile. Today´s picture shows her wearing a sweater / tee with sleeves. In her other pictures taken at public events to promote her "scholarly" book (PhD candidate and all), I mostly find myself impressed that she doesn´t have visible bra straps, wondering what kind of bra she found to wear with that outfit. The speech she gave at the Univ of Denver was not polished. What I took from the speech was that she had been very influenced by a professor (who is most likely very liberal) and was trying hard to impress some academic types who she knew was an audience with anti-military attitudes. In order for them to take her seriously, she offered up that she had become a "conscientious objector" to the war in Iraq. Right then, her motives in all this became questionable. She may be just another Code Pink type, hiding behind a uniform.

#27...she is not a CURRENT crop of USMA grads. She falls in a class 4 yrs after my brother graduated in 1991. Women were admitted long before, but my brother´ class didn´t have that many.

according to many of the class of ´91, and earlier comments of later classes, things went downhill after Clinton. Became softer, etc. But WJC was then president, and it was during that time she graduated.

The Lessons of Zombie-Mania
Wall Street Journal, by DANIEL W. DREZNER    Original Article

By any observable metric, zombies are totally hot right now. Look at movies like "Warm Bodies" and the coming "World War Z," the ratings for AMC´s hit series "The Walking Dead" (12.9 million viewers for its recent season finale) and $2.5 billion in annual sales for zombie videogames. Over the past decade, between a third and a half of all zombie movies ever made have been released. A glance at Google GOOG -1.51%Trends reveals that in the past few years, interest in flesh-eating ghouls has far outstripped popular enthusiasm for vampires, wizards and hobbits.

J. David Kuo, an evangelical Christian conservative and former top official of President George W. Bush’s faith-based initiative who drew wide attention when he publicly accused the administration of failing to live up to the values it espoused, died April 5 in Charlotte. He was 44.He was diagnosed a decade ago with brain cancer, his wife, Kimberly, said. The arc of Mr. Kuo’s life and career had taken him from liberal to conservative, from hard-edged Republican activism in the 1990s to disillusionment with the idea that politics could serve as an extension of his faith.

Like most of you, I yearn for shorter winters, more shirt-sleeve weather, less lashing from frigid winds. As a confirmed New Yorker, I’m not willing to do what millions have done: move to the sunbelt. I want warmer weather here in the Big City.But I’ve grown old waiting for the promised global warming. I was 35 when predictions of a looming ice age were supplanted by warmmongering. Now I’m 68, and there’s still no sign of warmer weather.

In a measure of solidarity with those affected by the budget-slashing government sequestration, President Obama is giving up 5 percent of his salary for rest of the year, which is almost as admirable and sensible as a mansion-owner shutting off his marble fountains during a drought.This is not to imply that the president shouldn´t demonstrate some unity with those who´ve been furloughed or lost work because of the blind slashing the sequestration prompted. People like Jeff Maryak, profiled by BuzzFeed, who is considering re-enlisting to make ends meet after a 27 percent pay cut.

A dressed-up version of Barack Obama´s State of the Union speech, packed with charts and graphs, is huge on YouTube.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Beyonce and Jay-Z celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in Cuba this week. The couple, who married on April 4, 2008, took in the sights of Old Havana, visited a school, dined on a rooftop terrace and strolled the fan-filled streets in their island best.(snip).The power couple declined to answer journalists´ questions about their visit to the island nation, but some outlets are reporting that the moguls are there as tourists, though that would be illegal because of the half-century embargo the U.S. has on the Communist country. However, the Miami Herald said Washington has issued special licenses for
