Wow. Really?

She´s devastated she got caught!

You cannot make this stuff up. She just needs to get herself to a Nunnery.....

Think twice act once. It´s pretty simple yet few understand it.

Isnt that special? Nothing-to-see-here-so-let´s-move-along piece by the AP.

It´s not up to investigators to minimize the crime of possessing classified documents in an unclassified setting because they´re old Declassifying them is up to the documents´ originator.

"...She deeply regrets the damage that´s been done to her family".

Um, Honey, perhaps you need to deeply regret the damage that YOU´VE done to your family. YOU are NOT the victim, here, sweetheart.

My heart just bleeds.

"A group of friends and neighbors welcomed Broadwell, her husband, Scott, and their young sons back to their home in Charlotte, N.C."

Almost makes it sound as if they´ve been away at war. /s

After the affair comes to light, the regret is always stated in the passive voice; "regrets the fallout, regrets the damage that was done to her family"...no, Paula, YOU did it!

Admit it, repent, and pray for the best for your family, friends and the all the others you have hurt, and stop thinking about yourself. Self was the reason you caused trouble in the first place.

"Move forward"..............
How Clintonian is that?

I actually believe her and I hope she patches up things with her husband who is apparently forgiving her.Maybe I´m just being blinded by the fact that I think kids are better off in 2 parent families.I actually think the thousands of tawdry emails by the general in Afghanistan is a bigger deal because he´s supposed to be watching over a war.

Oh, come on. She has two very young children and she takes a year off to follow a man around for a book someone else is going to write?
I seriously doubt this is the first intransigence for broadwell or petraeus. But, as all liberal women seem to be, it certainly makes her a useful tool of the liberals in dc.

It´s all fun and games til someone gets caught.

How is her husband dealing with it ? Haven´t heard from this deep digging press corps.

She´s devastated about the damage she has done to her family and other families.
... Unmentioned is the damage she has done to America.

Mrs. Petraeus is devastated.

And we are supposed to feel empathy for this highly ambitious, aggressive, self-serving mother of two because.........?

We´ll never know but... if Petraeus had left his wife and run off with her, how ´regretful´ would she have been then?

I´m sure she´s devastated she got caught.

Bet a paycheck this broad is divorced within a year.

Emotional devastation is the last refuge of females who find themselves in a tight spot.

Yawn. Kids do the darnedest things.

She looked like the cat that swallowed the canary in the picture of her at the swearing-in ceremony where Petraeus is there with his wife, walking across the front of the room and she is sitting there, beaming at him.

Oooooh, I´m so stoked for Paula that her neighbors are so ´enlightened.´

Not!

My Sympathy-O-Meter remains pegged at zero.

"Mistakes were made."

The acid test for those who believe her:

If she hadn´t been found out, would she still be doing what she was doing?

Those who have read and remember the whole Paula story recall that she picked him out, set her cap for him, and managed to insinuate herself into his life with her "thesis" gambit which became her "book". And things went from there.

Does anyone believe that Petraeus came up with that intricate anonymous email account thing with unsent emails left in their respective Draft folders for the other, with login password, to come and read?

He was the general, but I see her as the predator. The self-admitted "driven" person.

Looks like the PR firm she hired is earning their money. . .

Personally, I´m waiting for the follow-up tell-all book , "OK, Only Partly In ".

I don´t buy it. Broadwell might be nervous because things have blown up way bigger than she ever expected but there´s a bigger game afoot than adultery. Too many generals have been purged, too quickly after the stolen election. Paula would do well to stay out of parks and not walk alone in her neighborhood after dark.

I suppose a Playboy Pictorial is her next stop.

Her sequel book will be titled, "to the hilt."

Well, bless her heart. She´s what some of us here in the South call a DOG - dumb ol´ girl. And wouldn´t you just know it...my give-a-damn is flat busted today, too.

#28 may be correct but if not, I´ll bet there are at least a few naked pictures in our future. Petraeus´ wife will probably find them on his phone.

I need a shower.

Sorry for the "devastation " Paula, but look at it this way, your´ve given the public a chance to voyeur for a bit and leave the ugliness of the election on the shelf for a while.

You did blow it for the ghost writer of your book,( sales -wise) and probably shred your own plans for greatness, but we got to see Gen. P and his entitlement wife as real players in the power circle, got to meet your nemesis on the sex front, and and were treated to an exciting peek into how many emails a busy General can write while his men risk their lives actually doing their jobs. Thanks for the reality explosion and sorry about your crappy mood.

Classic Narcissistic Personality Disorder going on here...

Larry Sinclair was devastated too because his book didn´t make the Time´s list....The MSM is soo picky....

Broadwell and Petraeus will be divorced within the year. You talk about the s---hiting the fan.

I don´t get the husband. Well, I do - knew casually a liberal professional woman obsessed with career - actually took a sabbatical from work while pregnant to spend several months in Russia for some work study while husband stayed behind.

How about the damage done to our COUNTRY on so many levels!!

Sex...under a desk. Now that´s access.
I feel bad for her children.

She forgot....."that I´m responsible for."

The word "Treason" comes to my mind.

There is a serious judgement deficit here...now that you have ruined your and the Gen´s life, His wife/kids life, your husbands and kids life, we hope you will be punished accordingly...another moron on the loose!

No sympathy. None. And if she were my neighbor I would turn my back when she walked by. She is a selfish and destructive women, who sows wreckage wherever she goes.

More scenic wreckage left over from the Sexual Revolution. These are the sorts of people coming out of West Point these days? Aaargh!

I feel badly for her children. I don´t know what her husband is like but I feel badly for him. I hope that in addition to being devastated by the fallout, she faces the mirror and thinks things through and reflects on her actions fairly and objectively. I actually wish her and her family good luck in straightening this out, as I do Mr. and Mrs. Petraeus. Feelings were hurt and vows were broken but sometimes people can still repair that if they make up their minds to do so and I hope that happens here, unlikely though I think it is.

She didn´t "helplessly fall into Patraeus´ arms" like in some Harlequin novel. At some point she decided to hike down her knickers.

The victims are her cuckold husband and her two little children. He should Man Up and kick her to the curb. She´ll get the kids and then play the single mom card to the hilt.

I wonder how many other generals, senators, governors and other powerful people are now closing email accounts and wondering how far back the FBI can access communications they thought were lost in the great void.

She was wrong. She was a high-achiever who inevitably tripped over her own hubris.

Both males and females in the nation´s sewing circles, can´t stop tsk-tsking.

Her friends and neighbors want to wish her family the best as she tries to pick up the pieces of her disheveled life--such as it is. That seems a Christian approach.

Not for me to revel in the sorrow of others, however much deserved. I´ll let God judge her.

What about the damage she´s done to Petraeus´ wife and kids, not to mention the country?

So our Genrals are taking orders now from their "privates"....how convenient.

Sorry Paula, you jumped into this with both feet. You are not a VICTIM. You victimized others. You betrayed your family & country. You should be ashamed - but alas, I believe you only feel sorry for yourself.

My give-a-damn-0-meter fell in the toilet while I was getting ready this morning. I guess I´ll have to pass on this one.
