"I thought it was ridiculous. Who the hell is she?"

Rosenthal told the Tampa Bay Times that he saw Kelley, 37, at numerous events and she was invariably “loud, ostentatious and revealing.” She flirted. She hugged and kissed high-ranking military officials. She wore short dresses. And she bombarded generals with chatty emails…

Rosenthal never saw the emails but said that Gen. Allen’s wife had complained about them to Rosenthal’s wife. Rosenthal agreed they were out of line and told Kelley so.

“I called her probably three times and told her not to send any more emails,” Rosenthal said. The last time was several months ago, he said. He never heard back…

Kelley was proud of her titles.

“Btw I was made the (honorary) Ambassador to US Central Command’s Coalition!” she told a Times reporter in a Sept. 28 email. “In addition to that, I was just recently appointed to be the Honorary Consulate General to South Korea! I’m in DC today — just left from breakfast at the White House. . . . I really hope to see you soon!”
