Women love a man in a uniform. Men love a woman out of a uniform. Old verities stand affirmed by the intelligence that ousted the director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
General David Petraeus commanded U.S. forces in Afghanistan. But what man is really in command when face-to-face with a determined Paula Broadwell? The author of the appropriately titled "All In" conquered Petraeus in a way that neither the Taliban nor al Qaeda could. Terrorists aren't the only ones who target generals.
Broadwell gives new meaning to "hagiographer." The overused term, which 99 percent of the time tells us more about the reader's bias toward the subject than the writer's, for once doesn't go far enough. Not since Maya Angelou finished the last of her six autobiographies has a biographer worshipped a subject so completely.
And it's not hard to see what the general saw in the comely camp follower.
Who becomes homecoming queen and valedictorian? Paula Broadwell does.

She’s got a high forehead.
Guilty.
I not only agree whole-heartedly, I use that as my excuse to stay out of the gym
As I have long suspected, size matters!
In perceived personal power,
In net personal wealth,
And elsewhere...

Poor Dave. 60 years old. That would make him 30 when she was 10. Taken in by this seductress. I still haven’t seen any green eyed jealousy monster stuff in those e-mails. They could just as easily have been written by Petraeus’ buddy.
I’m most proud of my humility.
The charisma and charm is BS.
It is true. This lesbianated porker (Maya Angelou) did write six autobiographies. Obama only wrote two
Being proud of humility is kind of an oxymoron.
I was once filled with a powerful sense of self. Pride--probably charm and charisma--but I have been fortunate in that the lord brought me low...and opened my eyes to the Truth.
Now I am not just humble...I am dead.
Dead in Him.
That’s good to know. She was in DC for awhile (that was when she lost her driver’s license, I believe) and then she sort of dropped out of sight, but it seems like she’s still there. Wherever she is, if she had any information, I hope she made a lot of copies and stashed them all over the country.
Great article. Funny and to the point.
;-)
No, it really doesn’t. Especially not the elsewhere.
And I'm an iconoclast. But these days, I'm finding it hard to keep up my image.
