Jill Kelley, the financially troubled Tampa woman who inadvertently tipped off authorities to David Petraeus' affair, is suing the FBI and Dept. of Defense for defamation and loss of privacy. But if her privacy was so compromised, how come we still don't know what a "Tampa socialite" is?

As with most art, each iteration of an image reflects less and less of what the original work was trying to convey, but then at some point it reaches a level of saturation and becomes something else entirely. A statement on the statement, if you will. Fox's attempt at the flowchart guide to the Petraeus Affair is perhaps the most telling: don't even try to understand this thing.

Well, it looks like David Petraeus got himself wrapped up with some real fine folks when he befriended the Khawam family. Jill Kelley (nee Khawam) is the financially troubled Tampa socialite who went to the feds complaining of harassing emails from an anonymous tormentor who turned out to by Paula Broadwell. Her twin sister, Natalie Khawam, is the bankrupt lawyer that a D.C judge has called "unstable," who has been repeatedly accused of lying to state and federal courts, and who, with her sister, regularly took Petraeus' wife on shopping trips. Just a couple regular gals!

Since CIA director David Petraeus resigned on Friday over an extramarital affair uncovered by the FBI, the story has shifted from John Le Carré espionage novel to Vince Flynn right-wing thriller to misanthropic Coen Brothers farce — adding along the way more characters, more improbable situations, and best of all, more sexually-charged emails.
