Does This Photo Show Why Jill Kelley Thinks She Deserves Diplomatic Protection?

Nov. 14, 2012 12:17pm Erica Ritz

Yesterday TheBlaze reported that Jill Kelley, the mysterious Florida socialite who keeps cropping up in the Petraeus sex scandal, called 911 a number of times requesting “diplomatic protection” when supposedly unknown people tried to enter her property recently.

At the time, she was known to be an unpaid “social liaison” and “honorary ambassador” who often throws parties for men like General Petraeus. One U.S. official told ABC News she is a “nice, bored, rich socialite” who has a tendency to drop the word “honorary” from her title and describe herself as an actual ambassador, and many speculated this is what she meant when requesting “diplomatic protection.”

However, it is now being reported that Kelley is also an “honorary consul” of South Korea.

“She assumed this position last August thanks to her good connections and network,” an official with direct knowledge reportedly told Foreign Policy’s The Cable.

Remember all of those photos of Kelley walking to her Mercedes S500 yesterday, wearing a garish pink or yellow outfit? Well, a photo of her license plate even says “honorary consul.”

Here’s a reminder:

Easy to miss if you’re not looking for it, but it certainly presents another interesting angle. Why was Kelley appointed an honorary consul of South Korea?

USA Today describes the post as “symbolic” and “with no official responsibilities,” but it’s still a pretty rare, unexpected title to have.

The official who commented for Foreign Policy contributed: “She does not work as a real consul. They play a role to improve the relationship between the [Republic of Korea] and the U.S…. Jill Kelley helped to get support for [the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement] and she arranged meetings between the [Korean] Ambassador to Washington and local businessmen when the [Korean] Ambassador visited the Tampa area.”

It should be noted, however, that “honorary consuls” do not have the rights of permanent diplomatic staff, and therefore Kelley’s property is not entitled to the diplomatic protection she requested.

Curiouser and curiouser.

I wonder if she gets an honorary paycheck to help her in her honorary work? Sorry, but she is putting some hours in considering what she has done. Public relations, throwing big parties and setting up meetings with visiting diplomats takes time, talent and connections. She is not just some bored housewife looking for something to do. It would be interesting to see just where she got all of her connections. She didn’t just set up housekeeping in town, then call Petreaus and ask him to come to her party. The big brass does not party with just anyone. This was set up from the beginning. What fools we are supposed to be!

These generals would be easy picking for a Soviet style “honey trap”.

How much more of this corruption is going on, and how can The One have the instant answer that there is no National Security issue involved and then claim he does not know about what is going on.

Reminds me of the used car salesman/pretend spy who was trying to make time with Jamie Lee Curtis’ character in “True Lies”. Also reminded me of “Burn After Reading”. Unfortunately, this is serious even if she is a joke. I wonder if I would find either of those movies funny any more.

If only she had to WORK for a living like the rest of us she wouldn’t be running around playing all these games and looking like a real idiot. Idle socialites are much like idle inner city youths; they’re rarely up to anything worthwhile.

Wonder if she’s related to Mr. Salahi? Maybe she should volunteer to save the manatee. Save the Manatee Gala! She could invite the housewives of Miami.

She wanted the 911 operator to know that she needed an immediate response–not the same response afforded to one of the little people. Let them eat cake.

Just another middle age wannabe who has a massive self importance ego issue.
A basic party thrower who owes 2 million bucks in debt. Bet she writes a book about this situation and sells the movie rights. Basically what the U.S. has become. Trash.

Not bad looking…….but her husband should kick her azz and leave her. What is she doing sending ‘flirtatious’ e-mails to generals and flirting with Petraeous ? She can’t be that good. Maybe her husband like to watch?!! Her husband is either crazy or has a girl on the side himself.

Looks like one of those Horsewives from whatever Godforsaken City they infest.

When did “skank” become the new “black?”

This should in no way be overshadowing the investigative proceedings regarding the Benghazi manslaughters.

Remember Herman Cain?

This is just another oft-repeated theme in a long, long succession of Marxist Smear Theater.

The Kelley’s are 2 1/2 million in debt.
She’ll be selling her story to the highest bidder.
And unfortunately – there will be plenty.

How ironic that she even has a Benz… She failed the driver’s test because she’s never been in the FRONT seat of a car! (Sorry… got it from Dangerfield).

“Does This Photo Show Why Jill Kelley Thinks She Deserves Diplomatic Protection?” No, but the topmost photo at least proves she’s not a vampire.
