Jill Kelley, Key Figure In David Petraeus Scandal, Led Lavish Life The Tampa, Fla., socialite cultivated ties with military leaders and obtained honorary titles. She also has had financial troubles.
Jill Kelley's license plate carries an emblem that reads “Honorary Consul.” Gen. David H. Petraeus helped her obtain that title from South Korea. By Shashank Bengali, David S. Cloud and Joseph Tanfani November 14, 2012
TAMPA, Fla. — When Jill Kelley believed a reporter was trespassing at her white-columned mansion in a wealthy neighborhood this week, the Tampa socialite called 911 and claimed diplomatic immunity.
"I'm an honorary consul general, so I have inviolability," an exasperated Kelley told the dispatcher in recordings released by police. "I don't know if you want to get diplomatic protection involved as well."
Kelley isn't a diplomat; she holds the ceremonial title of "honorary consul" for South Korea, one of many informal ties to prestige and power that the energetic 37-year-old mother of three has brandished to climb to the top rungs of the social ladder in this conservative military community.
Kelley, the wife of a cancer surgeon, has a thin resume, a troubled family, shaky finances and a reputation for being, as one acquaintance here put it, "Tampa Kardashian." Now she is central to an unfolding scandal that has forced out David H. Petraeus as CIA director, threatens the career of Marine Gen. John Allen, commander of U.S. and international forces in Afghanistan, and cast previously unknown figures and a sex affair into international notoriety.

You really don’t know what is going on in these guys minds?
Patraeus had an almost 30 MOTORCYCLE ESCORT to the Kelley’s home?? OMG!
All freepers need to read those e-mails....they are WEIRD!!!!!
Their prime years were during the Clinton yrs, this is Clinton’s crop coming to harvest.
When I was a young Captain in AF I would go TDY to REDCOM for 90 days to plan readiness exercises. I loved it. I lived on Davis Island in an apartment and would drive Bayshore Blvd every day between work and home. I always wondered who lived in those big houses and how they could afford them. Now I know.
The saddest part is people taking their eye off the coup de’ etat / Military Purge and focusing attention on this sorry bitch and her sister.
SO did (does) Michelle Obama. I imagine she’s already planning their million dollar post-election vacation.
CUTTING CAT HAIR???? I have NEVER heard of such a thing.
Cats need grooming, too. Some do at least. Not that I’d want to try without sedating them, lol.
FRONT business.,,,NO ONE grooms their cats...they groom themselves or they go to a VET!
Ann Archy has already had the question answered at Post 41 on another thread.
Think about another word for cat, Ann Archy, or try to recall a Tom Jones song, and it will become clear to you.
“As CIA Director, the General should have checked out every ‘new close’ friend.”
Maybe someone DID ‘check her out’ (do a bogus background check) and told him she was ‘okay.’
People make fake companies to save on taxes.
The real questions are the 1) 4 dead americans, 2) the coverup, 3) the deep democratic ties these people have
People were surprised when Petraeus took a job working for Obama. We assumed he was a conservative because he was a good military leader.
With ties to such people and powerful democrats it becomes apparent that was a bad assumption.
Ohmygawsh. I saw those emails but they were so strange i quit reading after 2 or 3 of them. I thought it was satire!
It's probably some euphemism for something sexual like "call girl" or "escort service".
My short hair male cat (14 lbs.) begs to be combed, usually every day. Needless to say he is quite handsome. :)
