“The next thing you know they will give an ambassadorship to Shirley Temple.”

You do know that some former actors were intelligent, well-spoken and had common sense—such as Ronald Reagan and, yes, Shirley Temple, don’t you?
If you’ve ever seen Caroline Kennedy in a situation where she had to think on her feet, you’d realize that she was a bubble head. And if you’ve ever seen Shirley Temple Black do the same you’d realized that Kennedy could never begin to come close to filling Temple-Black’s shoes.
Just because Jim Carrey is an idiot, that doesn’t mean that all actors are also idiots.
By all accounts, Shirley Temple was an effective ambassador in both Accra and Prague. She was in Czechoslovakia as the Iron Curtain was crumbling. A buddy of mine was in Prague on TDY, when it fell. he took advantage of the chaos and bought an AK-47 from a Czech solidier who was looking to score some US dollars. So he bought the weapon and attempted to smuggle it back to the world in a diplomatic pouch. Ambassador Black got wind of this so she stopped the deal, gave the rifle to the Marine Detachment for safekeeping and my buddy was PNGd and was sent packing sans AK-47.
