"They (the twins) could work a room better than any politician,"

Goodness...where to begin with this long article..everything from the above quote to how "the twins" were "friends" with Gen. John Abizaid because of their "shared Lebanese heritage" to the scenario described below:

http://www.tampabay.com/news/military/macdill/petraeus-friends-jill-kelley-and-natalie-khawam-share-financial-troubles/1261383

Khawam, who worked as a lawyer at the Tampa law firm Cohen, Foster and Romine, sued her employer, accusing the firm's business consultant of sexual harassment. The firm's founder Barry Cohen shot back with a giant stack of evidence to the contrary, accusing Khawam of "fraud." He presented Khawam's bankruptcy filing from April 2012, which showed she owed $3.6 million to creditors, lawyers and others who had loaned her money. The filing showed she owed a lawyer in Rhode Island $300,000, a man in St. Petersburg $600,000 and Scott and Jill Kelley $800,000.

Arnold Levine, another Tampa lawyer, intervened in Cohen's lawsuit because he had yet to be paid for representing Khawam, as well. He represented the Kelleys, too, and says he wasn't paid for that work, either.

But Cohen had trouble serving a subpoena on Khawam. A memo from his process server provided to the Times lays out a strange set of events the morning of Aug. 8. The private investigator noted that four cars were in the driveway, but no one would answer the door. Several people came and went but wouldn't say who they were and wouldn't accept the papers. Then a man stood in front of her car, blocking her exit. Then a black SUV pulled into the driveway, blocking the investigator. Two men climbed out and the investigator called 911. "An officer from TPD appeared by the two men who I was told were FBI agents," she wrote. "The owner of the house came out … screaming that I assaulted her guests and employees."

both Republicans, both nuts, both of Lebanese heritage. One sister married to Bushco neocon Grayson Wolfe, Issa should be slobbering all over them.

Don't worry you get in trouble just go pray to Jesus all is gone. Throw a little water on the sin and it is washed away. Donate to a megachurch and you can be LIVING LARGE AND INCHARGE again. Sex sells.

Where it seems that there were high-up guests like diploments and politicians. I guess that was their indroduction to "high society" , and fueled their ambition to be part of it.

The kind of legal representation you hire when cost is no object. Not people you want to stiff or piss off.

Thought just occurred to me while reading stories about these twins going back to highschool... It seems their behavior has become increasingly irrational over time. I don't know if it's mental illness, or just an increasing sense of entitlement as they climbed the social ladder.

The hiden truth, perhaps that sense of entitlement IS the mental illness.

These two are just as attention seeking only they aren't playing with paparazzi - they play with Generals.
