| The menacing emails sent by David Petraeus’ ex-mistress to a Florida socialite promised to make the apparent rival “go away” and boasted of her friends in high places, the Daily News has learned. The notes Paula Broadwell sent to Jill Kelley were far more sinister than previously reported and seemed like the rantings of someone “clearly unhinged,” a close friend of Kelley told The News Monday. “This wasn’t just a catfight. Any normal person who got emails like that would have immediately called the police,” said the friend.

But, she didn´t call "the police", she notified the FBI.

We don´t know what the reasons were that Broadwell snapped and sent these e mails but she should have gone to a public library and used a fake name and ID.I don´t think this was about physical jealousy but some other influence Jill was exerting on Petraeus like the custody letter.
Using an official government letter head to try and influence a judge on a custody battle wasn´t cool but it showed how manipulative the twins were.
Obviously Broadwell used poor judgment throughout his whole affair but I´m reserving judgment on her until more facts come out.I think she admired Petraeus beyond sex and didn´t want his reputation threatened.

There is nothing "normal" about anyone even remotely connected to this administration. Of that I am positive. Six degrees of separation from reality and normalcy. They attract each other like flies to cow pies, then fight over their slice of the pie.

(b) if any of this is true, may I suggest that Broadwell may well have meant do not compromise Petraeus knowing full well who Jill Kelly is, and who her Masters are.
Not romantic. Rather, a warning not to try and snag David for the Muslims.

This to me is more red meat thrown out through the Daily Snooze to focus on the catfight and not on the abandonment in real time of one dead Ambassador and three dead former SEALS, the WH coverup BEFORE the election and the compromising of the Director of the CIA.
Also there are Hamas missiles falling on Israel and we are about to force a ´peace settlement´ via pulling our aid to Israel. Gotta cover that up too.

Re 11 and 17 Think Paula was warning this WH /Hamas plant to stay away from Petreus and other generals- just letting her know she was exposed. The affair was over-no cat fight there. Petrels and Allen showed poor judgment in getting involved with custody battle. Zippy is decapitating our military and gutting our defenses- the Lebanese twins are a distraction from our Murdered Amb. Stevens, smith, Woods and Doherty. Why did Obamas Cabal want him dead? What did he know? Chicago? Arming AQ? Hamas?

I still can´t tell whether Paula´s e-mails were of the "stay away from my man" variety or something related more to national security.
Paula´s father said in an interview several days ago that there was much more to this story than meets the eye. If Paula´s telling her parents about what went on, I´m inclined to believe we´ll never see her put on a diaper and make a mad cross-country drive to see the General.

MIAMI -- Lilly Pulitzer hosted parties in her bare feet and wasn´t afraid to get a little messy - just as long as she looked good and had fun, too. In the late 1950s, the Palm Beach socialite had time to spare and a wealthy husband who owned citrus groves, so she opened an orange juice stand just off the island´s main shopping street. Pulitzer needed to hide all the juice stains on her clothes,though. Instead of just putting on an apron, she asked her seamstress to make some sleeveless dresses

An attempt by Colorado lawmakers to ban welfare recipients from withdrawing their benefits at ATMs located inside strip clubs was killed by Democrats Thursday night, even though the state House’s third-ranking Democratic legislator supported the measure. Democratic Rep. Dan Pabon lent his support to the Republican-led proposal, offered as an amendment during a debate on the state budget Thursday night, because it would hew to a similar federal rule, according to the Denver Post. Pabon introduced a bill on the issue two years ago, but it didn’t clear the state Senate. State welfare recipients receive their benefits

Add the name of Michelle Lynne (ne Robert) Kosilek to the list of modern phenomena the Founding Fathers would definitely not appreciate being blamed for. Little did they know what havoc they would someday wreak by adding the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution to prohibit “cruel and unusual punishment.” Now comes Kosilek, a convicted wife murderer doing life without parole. He/she is claiming that it would be cruel and unusual punishment to deny him/her a sex-change operation — excuse me, “gender-reassignment surgery.”Not to get too graphic, but Kosilek is begging for elective amputation of a body part.

Two very bad and extremely dangerous economic developments happened yesterday — and Wall Street appeared to miss both of them. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 40.86 points to 14565.25 after the Labor Department announced that the seasonally adjusted number of new jobs created in March was just 88,000 — far below the 190,000 or so Wall Street expected. The March figure was also less than one-third the number of jobs created during February. This led to the misperception that the job market tanked in March. It didn’t.

Duck Dynasty must make liberals heads explode. It is now the most popular “non-scripted” show currently on television. Its Season 3 premiere had 8.6 million viewers and a massive 4.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic, which as you might know, is quite popular with the advertisers. At the same time, each episode ends with the entire family at the dinner table where they pray before eating. Indeed, the Robertson clan is entirely evangelical. They take their faith in Christ seriously and exert quite a bit of effort preaching the gospel. The patriarch of the family, Phil, used to live

How do you survive a sex scandal? Public-relations reps and crisis-communications counselors have made careers of dispensing advice on such matters. And so the usual counsel follows a fairly trite and untested path: Be honest from the start. Apologize. Make sure your wife stands behind you. Hogwash, for the most part. Everyone apologizes, nearly everyone’s wife is supportive, and no one is honest from the start. But still some politicians survive sordid situations, and some do not. Why? Let’s allow history to be our guide. There are more than enough examples to choose from. It was only Tuesday that former South Carolina governor

Shocker. Having failed to end Congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s congressional career at the polls, the left is now moving to do it the old-fashioned way: Bork Bachmann unto political death. The problem? This really is the old-fashioned way. And any conservative even semi-awake recognizes the game instantly. In this case the game being played with the so-called Office of Congressional Ethics, the OCE. This is what we now call “Borking.” The method of choice of liberals when they are frustrated by the public’s attachment or potential attachment to a political figure on the Right.

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?”

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt.

The letter from the group, “Special Operations Speaks,” supports the appointment of a special committee tasked with the single mission of investigating the attack that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead, and shut down the CIA operation in an annex of the Benghazi consulate, in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack. “Congress must show some leadership and provide answers to the public
