David Petraeus’ ex-mistress, Paula Broadwell, left a female news photographer with a bloodied forehead Monday in a confrontation outside the biographer’s North Carolina home.
The 40-year-old West Point grad smacked the photographer with the driver’s side door of her Nissan Pathfinder SUV.
“I had my camera and in all the chaos the door slammed and I got hit in the head with the flash,” said Nell Redmond, a freelancer for the Associated press.
Redmond suffered a small cut on her forehead in the incident, witnessed by a Daily News reporter.
The encounter occurred just before 2 p.m. as Broadwell, wearing sunglasses and a cream-colored turtleneck sweater, tried to avoid reporters and photographers by sneaking out a side door of her house in a ritzy enclave of Charlotte.

Paparazzi suck worse than Broadwell. Close enough to be hit by the car door is an invasion of personal space.
too bad it wasn’t her mouth, then she could have gotten her grill fixed....
Besides; Bill Clinton already had a bad (BAD) experience with a Paula (Jones).
He wont go there again.
“I had my camera and in all the chaos the door slammed and I got hit in the head with the flash,” said Nell Redmond, a freelancer for the Associated press.
Sounds like the “freelancer” had her face and camera inside the swing of the door. Obviously, AP needs to provide training for their “freelancers”. Say 20 - 40 hours of learning how to avoid opening and closing doors with a test afterwards requiring a score of at least 70%.
And while I’m thinking about it....
The name Broadwell might remind him of (Juanita) Broaddrick.
Also a nasty memory in the Bent One’s noggin.
I blame the video/sarc
I say good for Paula Broadwell, anyone that can give a member of the Obama loving press a smack deserves praiser
Amazing that her husband let her back in the house.
Yikes. The kind of face you’d want to slam a car door on
LOL. I like that.
Agreed. The husband is probably just plotting his exit.
Hey, hey, Paula...
I wonder how many Freepers will catch the reference.

Dang you! Now that lame song is my earworm!
Kodachrome
You give us these nice bright colors
That explode in my head when the car door hits
Makes you think all the car doors are bad, oh yeah!
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
But now it says “Nikon” on my head.
What was your head doing that close to the car door? Got what you deserved.
Best pick-up line in NC: “Say, that’s a nice tooth you got there.”
Just damn, nobody around here feels sorry for that poor reporter.
Hah hah, neither do I!
Paula may have thought she was being attacked by a man!
LOL
Broadwell runs 7 minute miles for hours at a time and is likely strong as an ox.
I sure wouldn’t mess with her.
I’ll bet he files for a divorce within 3 months...
LOL, I'll bet an Edsel grill would look just fine!
Ask Angrea Mitchell where she got hers.
Agreed, I wouldn’t stand a chance if a bear was chasing both of us. :-)
“Ask Angrea Mitchell where she got hers.”
They may belong to her old cadaver hubby.
Good for her! She may be second page news now but the paparazzi have no business hounding her at her home.......
I expected a story about Paula ripping the door off her Nissan Pathfinder and beating the reporter in the head with it.
I had that on vinyl lol
That is a very sad picture : ^ (
Looks like that photographer fell out of an ugly tree...and hit every branch on the way down.
Paula was just adding a litle color to her face. ;-)
If I am remembering right, the song was very popular in 1962. I brings back a lot of thoughts of that time for me.
And thank you, Third Person, for posting the lyrics.
I know, right? She let us down again!
Nice shot Paula!
Two points.
Thanks for the memories.
In fact smacking some dyke reporter in the face with her own camera kinda appeals to me that she might be deserving of a chance at redemption.
I bet she looks pretty nice in sunglasses and a cream-colored turtleneck.
reporters would normally write it as "SUV STRIKES PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE FOREHEAD"
My only regret is not being there to help the lady bash the presstitute with the door.
Sandy Berger breached by filling his socks and his breeches, and he should have been switched on his britches for eons it, instead of losing his security clearance for just three years.
That is a man. That’s the photographer. The reporter involved is a woman.
She (the reporter) has a cut on her head.
Awe you are right. It was a bland looking photographer
Yeah yeah yeah...it sucked then, it sucks now.
So then is that kinda like a chastity belt?
LOL!
” Say 20 - 40 hours of learning how to avoid opening and closing doors with a test afterwards requiring a score of at least 70%.”
A great training evolution would be to send them to gaza, where a hamas rep meets them as they crawl out of the tunnel and says “welcome infidel habibi, I take you to the hamas media center now, where you will be safe to photograph our rocket launchers up close!”
I was big into “oldies” when I was growing up in the late 60’s early 70’s. I had a bunch of records from the “Cruisin’” series (those were mostly 50’s) which were great because they included radio commercials from the time. I’m pretty sure that was on ‘62 collection but I’ll have to google to be sure. I don’t have any of my album collection anymore to look.
ah 1963 and it is on the Cruisin’ 1963 collection but I didn’t have that one. So musta been on one of my k-tel specials or something LOL!
