‘Jill Kelly for Secretary of State’

November 24, 2012 By Kathy Shaidle

Mark Steyn:

Now let us move from Gen. Petraeus’ mistress to Gen. Allen’s non-mistress, Tampa socialite and identical twin Jill Kelley. Mrs. Kelley had clearance for all parts of MacDill Air Force Base, near Tampa, Fla., and was given some kind of commemorative certificate as “honorary ambassador” to CENTCOM, on the basis of which, in a recent 911 call, she claimed the right to “diplomatic protection.” Yeah, that’s what Chris Stevens thought in Benghazi. As appears to be well known, the Kelleys have financial problems, and their luxury home faces foreclosure.

For awhile they ran a charity, the Doctor Kelley Cancer Foundation, which makes terminal cancer patients’ final wishes come true. In 2007, they took in $157,284 in donations, and ran up expenses of $81,927 on dining, entertainment and travel. So, if you’ve got cancer, and your dying wish is for Jill Kelley to party, this is the charity for you.
