    Paula Broadwell will forever remember her 40th birthday, since it was yesterday.

    People close to him started getting anonymous, harassing emails.

    FBI investigated. She was the sender.

    May want to get a DNA swab for those two young boys of her's.

    As the story goes, Broadwell and Petraeus first laid eyes on each other in 2006.

    Did her husband write into the New York Times Ethicist last year asking for advice on how to deal the affair?

    Jesus, this is getting deep.

    Sounds like she's batshit crazy. So he will probably have fond memories, sexually speaking.

    The advice he got in return is awesome. Assuming it's a top Obama aide, and thus a Democrat (and not some family-values espousing Republican), he's advised to not expose the affair:

    YF -- good selective editing that completely alters thee among of the response, which was that he should quietly separate from the woman. Fox News has some openings.

    I did like the end of the response (Chuck Klosterman is writing these? WTF?)

    I halfway suspect you’re writing this letter because you want specific people to read this column and deduce who is involved and what’s really going on behind closed doors (without actually addressing the conflict in person). That’s not ethical, either.

    Yeah Klosterman took over awhile ago. Frankly, if I need someone to answer that type of question, he's the guy I want.

    And now a story about a slut and a whore. ... But which is which?

    So, you're saying I've got what it takes to be an editor?

    OK that was pretty funny.

    Better would have been "YF -- good ... editing"
