David Petraeus, head of the CIA and therefore America’s top spy is, like Austin Powers, quite the ladies man.
I find the whole Petraeus scandal highly amusing. The more that is revealed, the weirder the story becomes. There is still much more to be exposed in this tawdry affair.
I don’t have much to say on all this, except this: the affair shows us once again the secret sexual subculture that exists in our society. Petraeus, clearly bored sexually with his wife, wanted some variety. He found it in Paula Broadwell, a high achieving, status seeking woman of forty, married with two children. She wrote a biography of Petraeus, entitled, amusingly enough, “All In: The Education of David Petraeus”. Yeah, it is ture, Petraeus was “all in” Broadwell. Broadwell, in turn, seems to have become unhinged by her affections for Petraeus. From her words and demeanor, she seems to have been in love with him, perhaps even obsessed with him. Petraeus, in the circles that Broadwell inhabited, was an apex alpha male, and for a woman as ambitious and status seeking as Broadwell, this made her gina not only tingle, but positively gush with excitement. I bet she fantasized about the white picket fence with him.
Paula Broadwell: the latest vixen of the Washington scene! She brought down the four star general-CIA director David Petraeus. Pussy is a dangerous thing.
Then, after she had been banged by Petraeus, she began acting as if she owned him, and when another woman entered the picture (Jill Kelley, whose role in this is still unclear), Broadwell seems to have descended into a catty, bitchy hate mode towards the other-other woman. The whole affair began to unravel when Broadwell began sending hostile emails to Kelley. Having experienced Petraeus’ alpha passion, she did not want another woman to have the same thing. I wonder what she thought of Petraeus’ wife?
Jill Kelley, the other other woman in this affair. She is on the far right of the photo. Holly Petraeus, the wife of David Petraeus is on the left.
I feel sorry for Petraeus’ wife. She is most likely the true victim of all this. From all accounts of her, she seems like a decent woman. Oh yeah, and then there is Broadwell’s cuckolded husband. I don’t feel sorry for men whose wives cheat on them. They should never have married such a woman to begin with, or, if they do cheat, they need to dump them immediately and move on. Perhaps he should hook up with Petraeus’ wife.
Broadwell and her unfortunate, cuckolded husband. I guess he was not doing it for her.
And of course all these people, I am sure, were open advocates of “traditional family values.” But when it comes to the allures of forbidden pussy, even the most powerful men cannot resist. It is quite amusing how the life of a four star general and head of the CIA can suddenly descend into the emotionally turbulent world of a high school freshman. Ah, the folly of life.

Apparently Petry has a thing for mannish chicks. Looks like the type.
Still, it boggles my mind that the director of the CIA can’t keep his skeletons in the closet, so to speak.

Don’t forget the Director of the CIA is the one picking who to assassinate every day in the Drone War. One would hope a man trusted with that would have better judgement than to stick his dick into crazy, and that the top spy in the nation would know a bit more about computer security.

Vicomte,
Yeah, it is amazing that a CIA chief can be so careless!
phil,
Thanks for the comment….good point. A man with that sort of power should be more careful about whom he bangs!

whether a man has the clout and power of Petraus or whether he is just your average janitor.Put a sexually frustrated man and a somewhat attractive woman in a room for a considerable amount of time and then you are asking for fire and trouble.
Holly Petraus does not exactly look very fuckable.She looks old and haggard.
Apparently Broadwell and Petraus spent quiet a bit of time together when she was working on his book.
Naturally one thing leads to another and all reason and self control flies out the window.
That is how I see it.

Suzy,
Thanks for the comment.
“Put a sexually frustrated man and a somewhat attractive woman in a room for a considerable amount of time and then you are asking for fire and trouble.” Yes, quite true. Holly Petraeus is not attractive, and Broadwell is, so Petraeus naturally fell into a common situation. I don’t know why people make such a big deal out of all this, beyond the titillating scandal.
