Twins in Petraeus scandal took photo with Rubio
By TAMARA LUSH
Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- The host of a fundraiser for Sen. Marco Rubio says the twin sisters involved in the David Petraeus scandal crashed one of Rubio's campaign fundraisers.

Angelette Aviles hosted the fundraiser in 2010. She said Thursday that the twins, Jill Kelley and Natalie Khawam, came to the party uninvited, took their photo with Rubio and quickly left without donating money to his Senate campaign. Aviles posted a photo of the twins with Rubio on Twitter.

A Rubio spokesman says the senator doesn't recall meeting the twins and added that Kelley has invited him to parties but he never attended. An attorney for Kelley did not return a phone call.

The FBI says Kelly received threatening emails from Petreaus' mistress, who apparently saw her as a romantic rival.

Anyone remember the brief season of the "Real Housewives of Washington, D.C.," which included the nefarious couple who crashed the White House state dinner? What a piece of work those two were. The twins remind me of the same kind of celebrity seekers.

The Love Pentagon did not start with Paula Broadwell sending emails to Jill Kelley, but with her emailing a warning under the alias "KelleyPatrol" to Gen. John Allen in Afghanistan. The KelleyPatrol message warned Allen to stay away from Kelley at an upcoming event at an ambassador's residence in Washington...

After that, Broadwell sent messages to Kelley and her husband Scott, asking him if he was aware Kelley would be meeting then-CIA director David Petraeus the next week. That's what got the shirtless FBI agent's attention, because it was clear KelleyPatrol knew the schedules of Allen and Petraeus. Maybe they were being stalked?...

Kelley's parties might have been lavish, but she was strict about her guest list...keeping it to generals and admirals. "A colonel is about as low as she'd go," an officer who served at Centcom told the paper. Kelley was stripped of her pass to get on post Tuesday.

i can see how Broadwell was able to get it with the whole Book thing plus she has some education in military related areas.

but the one twin should never have been there .

Barbizon Modeling School head tilt in every photo. They must have been doing this same pose for years.

They remind me of a Hall and Oates song. Oh-oh, here she comes, watch out boys, she'll chew you up.

And isn't he embarrassed about his choice of spouse? I know a lot of doctors and most of them have wives who are pretty bright professionals, or at least well educated. The fact this surgeon married a military groupie makes me wonder what the other doctors in Tampa think of him.
