Remember when it came out that former CIA Director David Petraeus was having that extramarital affair with his biographer? And how Jill Kelley supposedly gave him a handjob under the table at the Four Seasons too? Now, she’s writing a book to clear her name (and her hands):
Former CIA director David Petraeus will plead guilty to sharing classified information with Paula Broadwell, his mistress and biographer, according to media reports and court documents. The Justice Department began investigating Petraeus in 2012, suspecting that he'd given Broadwell access to his CIA email.
At yesterday's University of Southern California annual ROTC dinner, former CIA director David Petraeus made his first public speech since resigning last November after it was revealed that he had been having an affair with his biographer Paula Broadwell.
"There used to be an established order to the world," writes Noah Shachtman in the intro to Wired's "15 Most Dangerous People in the World" feature. "A structure to things. You couldn't print a gun like a term paper. It was impossible to wreck a nuclear production plant with a few lines of code. Flying robots didn't…
Jill Kelley, the Florida recipient of threatening emails from David Petraeus mistress Paula Broadwell who requested diplomatic protection from the media even though she is a voluntary social coordinator for a military base, has had her "honorary consul" title revoked by the South Korean embassy on the grounds that the…
Are you a non-unionized, female, Caucasian, ethnically ambiguous, 30-45-year-old actor looking to break through with a timely role in a mock sex tape? If you are, then Funny or Die wants you to audition for a role in what will surely be a hilarious General Petraeus sex tape, which you'd star in alongside a…
If you were an alien from another planet trying to get a sense of how humans are, and the only information you had were news reports about David Petraeus's affair with Paula Broadwell, you'd rightfully conclude, based on available data, that female humans are batshit insane.

Two recent articles on the Petraeus scandal shed some fascinating new light on the Love Pentagon™ gone wrong: both retired Gen. David Petraeus and Paula Broadwell are unhappy.
Before she was a well-known paramour, Paula Broadwell had dreams. Big dreams. The kind of dreams reserved for guileless high school dropouts from Oklahoma who come to Hollywood with nothing but a suitcase and an as-yet-unknown proclivity for heroin. Paula Broadwell wanted to be a star.
In what is very likely the opening scene of an upcoming holiday dramedy about a married couple who decides to weather an adultery storm by visiting family for Thanksgiving, Paula Broadwell and her husband were spotted arriving arm in arm at Broadwell's brother's home in Washington D.C.

Since we inexplicably still care about this, I guess, both of the women with whom David Petraeus had his sexual dalliances have been over in the vicinity of WHOTUS (I keep trying to make WHOTUS happen; it's not going to happen) in the last few years. The only real-ish gossip here is that Tampa "socialite" Jill Kelley,…
The best explanation of the Petraeus shebang (outside of Katie's epic guide) comes from insanators at Next Media Animation. If you need to explain the scandal to a small child or to someone who just likes to laugh, this is the video for you! Be careful, though, the sexy music might send the clothes literally flying…
That's what I'd like to know!!! And I think the American people deserve the truth. If David Petraeus is really the "decorated general" and "guy with a wife" he claims to be, then how is it that he wickedly bewitched the Inboxes of not one but TWO busy, high-profile women? Which is it, Petraeus? Are you a family man or…
Was General John R. Allen, who succeeded General David Petraeus as lead commander of coalition forces in Afghanistan, actually sending inappropriate emails to Tampa socialite Jill Kelley? (If you still don't know who these people are, read our explainer here.)
Twenty to thirty thousand emails, shirtless photos, illicit sex ("under" a desk, no less): are we sure the Petraeus scandal isn't actually a viral marketing campaign for the next season of Gossip Girl?
