In August, Paula Broadwell lashed out at Drudge for Petraeus Veep report




In August 2012, General Petraeus biographer Paula Broadwell lashed out against the Drudge Report for reporting that Petraeus was a rumored Vice Presidential candidate for Mitt Romney.

The Drudge Report featured an exclusive tip – upsetting the traditional thinking of the political establishment – citing a source who insisted that President Obama believed that Mitt Romney wanted to name Gen. David Petraeus as his running mate.

“A Petraeus drama has been quietly building behind the scenes,” Drudge reported at the time, reporting that Romney “secretly met with the four-star general.”

“Your speculation about @Petraeus as a Romney VP pic is full of non-truths,” Broadwell tweeted at the Drudge Report Twitter handle. “(But I guess you figured that out)!”

According to reports, Petraeus ended his affair with Broadwell four months ago – which would have been sometime in June or July of 2012.

1. Drudge is a troublemaker.

4. Suppose Drudge was correct on Romney meeting with Petraeus and simply wrong on VP.

What would that imply?

5. maybe this was that election shocker

he had red sirens up for right before the election.... probably thought Dems were covering up something involving sex because there was a woman involved (if it was a guy he probably would have figured it was a repug and there would have been no red sirens).
Because if I remember right the story he connected his headline too later was an affair by Bob Melendez and then we heard nothing.

I bet he knew. The Congress should drag him in for questioning too.

6. Wouldn't a simple "FUCK YOU!" be more appropriate for Sludge?

7. Drudge found right target at right time but wrong info

8. Help me out here.

I haven't followed this closely from the beginning. So, why in the hell would Broadwell tweet Drudge about it or even care that they were doing business as usual? Is it like a HS popularity contest about who knows the truth about the star football player? I just really don't understand.
