We don’t need a concert pianist (much funner to say than to type...go ahead - say peeanist...doesn’t that make you giggle just a little?) in the Naval Observatory. We need a foreign expert. Although not a ticket draw, if anyone from DoS would be great as the VPOTUS, Bolton would be my pick.
Uh, you don't seem to know much about Condoleeza Rice. Yes, she's a very accomplished musician, but she also has a lot of foreign policy experience. She was the National Security Advisor in the first George W. Bush administration, and Secretary of State in the 2nd.
Before joining the Bush administration, she was Provost of Stanford University, and after serving, she went back to teaching there, and now is Director of the Global Center for Business and the Economy.
