Who knew David Petreaus was such a player? Multiple news services are now reporting that this four-star stud had not one, but two fillies in his stable, other than his beloved wife.
The Guardian reports:
Over the weekend it emerged that his relationship with biographer Paula Broadwell was discovered by FBIagents whi
le they investigated harassing emails she allegedly sent to a second woman, who was named on Sunday by the Associated Press as Jill Kelley, a state department military liaison.
In the days following his announcement to step down, a steady flow of leaks to the US media have given more detail to the affair that cost Petraeus his job. The makings of his downfall were in a series of apparently vicious emails sent by his lover a 40-year-old former army reservist who co-authored All In, a fawning biography of the CIA chief to Kelley, a state department liaison to the military's Joint Special Operations Command.
It is thought that the threatening nature of the missives led the Florida-based recipient to seek the protection of the FBI An investigation of Broadwell's personal email account uncovered letters of an explicit nature between her and Petraeus, who has been married for the past 38 years to his wife Holly.
Hell hath no fury, eh Truthseekers! How threatening does an email have to be for a State Department employee to seek FBI protection from the email attacker, Petreaus' lover-cum-biographer? Who needs daytime soap operas when you have MSNBC and sexy tidbits like these?

Out pops Petraeus' hanky panky!
