Paula Broadwell Crashing On Petraeus Familys Couch Until Sex Scandal Blows Over
?6078
SPRINGFIELD, NHIn an effort to escape the intense media scrutiny surrounding her recently exposed liaison with former CIA director David Petraeus, Paula Broadwell is reportedly crashing on the Petraeus familys couch until the uproar blows over. Holly [Petraeus] has been the most gracious hostess throughout this whole ordeal, Broadwell said of the woman whom she once spent hours interviewing while having an affair with her husband and writing his biography. I wouldnt blame her if the arrangement has left her feeling a little put outhouseguests can be a pretty big inconveniencebut shes been really sweet about it. She gave me a couple of Davids old Army uniforms to sleep in and some fleece blankets from the closet. At press time, sources confirmed Broadwells offer to help Holly Petraeus do the dishes had been politely rebuffed.
