Unfortunately for Ms. Kelley, allegedly banging a general isn’t within the boundaries of what can be considered appropriate Gangnam style. She will have to take her vaguely sexual horse-riding dance somewhere else.
The “honorary consul” post that socialite Jill Kelley tried to parlay into South Korea business to her benefit will be yanked, that country’s national news agency reported Monday.
Kelley, who threw parties at her Bayshore Boulevard mansion for U.S. and coalition military brass stationed at MacDill Air Force Base, was awarded the title by South Korea in August.
South Korean Deputy Foreign Minister Kim Kyou-hyun, in Washington, D.C., for regular consultations with U.S. officials, cited Kelley’s efforts to use her title for personal gain.
“It’s not suitable to the status of honorary consul that (she) sought to be involved in commercial projects and peddle influence,” Kim said Monday, according to the Yonhap News Agency.
No word as to how you get an honorary consul post, except that you probably buy it, because pretty much everything can be bought in Washington. What I’m constantly shocked at, though, is the insistence that Jill Kelley was some kind of high-influence power broker, when all she really did was hang around the outskirts of really important people. Its like if people thought that ugly girl with the pigtails and the endless wardrobe of PINK sweats who hung around the popular kids in high school but never actually got invited to their parties somehow ended up being elected Homecoming Queen.
Well, “ambassador” cannot be spelled without “a-s-s.”
Are we back to the Hoover days with the FBI hoovering up emails without a court order and leaking the investigation in a partisan way? There is a new video that I saw that deals with this issue as a parody. It’s funny but scary. The video suggest we all hide our internet traces using a VPN, but how did we get into this position as a country? Since the Patriot Act have we given up so many freedoms that our only recourse is to hide under a technology rock? That this in fact happened to our CIA Director is stunning. Shouldn’t the FBI be vilified in this? But somehow they are not and it has become a personal tragedy rather than a governance tragedy. The media has barely covered the FBI side of the scandal.
