Branded

Jill Kelley will be stripped of her honorary consul title by South Korea:

The Florida socialite who sparked an investigation that brought down CIA head David Petraeus will be relieved of her ceremonial position as honorary consul for South Korea because she allegedly tried to "peddle influence" and profit off business deals there, a top South Korean official said today.

According to South Korea's semi-official Yonhap News Agency, South Korean Deputy Foreign Minister Kim Kyou-hyun said, "It is not suitable to the status of honorary consul that [she] sought to be involved in commercial projects and peddle influence."

I hope a lot of countries do the same. If CENTCOM hasn't cashiered her yet, I hope they do it like this:



Wherever you go, for the rest of your life
You must prove, you're a socialite

Branded.

UPDATE: Thanks to Stones Cry Out for the link.

UPDATE: So in early 2015 I read that Jill Kelley may have been targeted by the Obama administration to discredit her. I just assumed hope and change nullified the politics of personal destruction.
