I guess this is an example of why cronyism is a stupid way for a government to choose the people who will represent it in other countries. On the other hand, I also suppose it's not at all surprising at this point in US history (or any other, for that matter) that a US ambassador to another country would not have the slightest idea what the function of an ambassador is.

BTW, may I take this opportunity pass along a joke my Canadian sister-in-law told me a couple of days ago? (Because its funny and it made me laugh.) She's extremely unhappy with the government of the US, and somewhat unhappy with the government of Canada. She said, "the US may be 'The Great Satan', but Canada is 'Satan's Little Helper'".
