Jill Kelley, the woman who complained of receiving cranky emails from Gen. Petraeus’s biographer/honey-bunny, lives about four blocks from me. The scorpions of the press descended on her and her husband’s house yesterday afternoon while she was giving a birthday party for one of her children, complete with noisy DJ.
I’m not that curious about La Kelley’s relationship, if any, with the general. But I would have been tempted to send her cranky emails myself yesterday to complain about the noise from her backyard that was infecting most of the neighborhood. I don’t know why so many nice people, like this couple almost certainly are, think it’s OK to entertain themselves or their children by disturbing the peace for blocks around.
