It keeps getting worse for Broadwell. Two anonymous Harvard professors trash her

snip

From the Boston Globe:

One of Broadwell's former professors at Harvard described her as a self-promoter who would routinely show up at office hours.

"It was very much, 'I'm here and you're going to know I'm here,' " said the professor, who did not want to be identified because of the sensitivity of ongoing investigations. "She was not someone you would think of as a critical thinker. I don't remember anything about her as a student. I remember her as a personality."

The professor said when Petraeus chose Broadwell to write his biography, there was shock among the national security faculty at Harvard because "she just didn't have the background — the academic background, the national security background, or the writing background."

A second Harvard faculty member who knows Broadwell and Petraeus had similar misgivings.
