Knowing what we know now, how incredibly awkward was Paula Broadwell’s appearance on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” broadcast earlier this year?
Back in January, Broadwell went on the Comedy Central show to promote her fawning biography of David Petraeus, “All In.” And now that she’s been outed as the former CIA chief’s mistress, her appearance to promote her love letter to Petraues is all the more uncomfortable.
The interview’s peppered with phrases that can be retroactively applied with secondary meanings after last week’s bombshell revelation about the former general. For example, Broadwell described how she interviewed the general while they ran together. “Petraeus progressively increased the pace until the talk turned to heavy breathing and we reached a six-minute-per-mile pace,” Broadwell recalled with detail. “It was a signature Petraeus move.”
“That was the foundation of our relationship,” she added.
Later in the show, the West Point grad participated in a push-up contest against the host to raise money for wounded veterans.
Details about when the relationship turned from biographer to something more are still unclear, but take a look at the interview below and see if you find any tell-tale signs…
