Pat Robertson OKs Petraeus' Affair with Broadwell; Is "A Good Looking Lady Throwing Herself at Him"

Television evangelist and ordained Southern Baptist Minister Pat Robertson doesn't think General David Petraeus should be condemned for his love affair with writer Paula Broadwell. After all, she is "an extremely good looking woman" and "he's a man," Robertson said, the Huffington Post website reports today (November 14, 2012).

Robertson, 82,  excused former CIA Director Petraeus for the extramarital affair with his biographer, Broadwell, on the November 12 episode of "The 700 Club" -- the flagship program of the Christian Broadcasting Network. The affair resulted in Petraeus' resignation as CIA Director on November 9.

"Who knows?" Robertson said. "This man is off in a foreign land and he's lonely and here's a good looking lady throwing herself at him. I mean, he's a man."

Robertson added that Broadwell is an extremely good looking woman and a marathon runner. "So she's out running with him and writing a biography. I think the term is 'propinquity.'"
