Too Many Double Entendres: the Petraeus Affair


First there’s the name Paula Broadwell.  Somewhere Ian Fleming's rolling over in his grave for not thinking of it first.  That moniker would've fit right in with Bond girls Miss MoneyPenny and Mary Goodnight.  (Yes, I know Ian came up with dirtier names than those).

Then there’s the book she wrote:  “All In: the Education of General David Petraeus.”  Yes it sounds like the General was indeed all in and educated in ways we can only imagine.

Add to this brew the FBI, CIA, Army, Navy, Marines, United States Air Force, Washington, Kabul, Tampa, a set of hot twins and you have a Molotov cocktail that would make 007 proud.  Shaken not stirred, of course. 

It’s hard to imagine illicit romance among the rubble and drone strikes of Afghanistan.  Such a sad, defeated place for anything sexy to happen, but these two still managed.  Somewhere Ian Fleming is kicking himself.                

Any thoughts?
