Inspector General Slams Ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy’s Embassy as Amateur Hour
PJ Media ^ | August 25, 2015 | Claudia Rosett

Having a celebrity socialite run the huge embassy was as foolish as it looked.

[Caroline] Kennedy came to her ambassador’s post with no foreign policy experience, no particular background in Japan or Asia generally, and apparently not much skill at running the $93.6 million-per-year operation that is the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo.

The curse of the Kennedy women, they age terribly. Poor Carolyn, she used to be a pretty woman. Not sure there is much to be done for her.

If I didn’t know better, I would swear she is a transvestite. Her brother was so handsome. Maybe Jackie had an affair with John Kerry.

Yet, I remember when she was chosen to move over to Japan and represent America...it was laughable to hear the media reaction.....how they praised the choice because a "Kennedy" was picked....

On behalf of all Americans, let me apologize to Japan.

Our bleep-wad in chief has a habit of insulting nations by sending idiot ambassadors.

If John Kerry was LGBT, he would look like Caroline Kennedy.

Obama always picks the least qualified person to run anything. Easier to control.

That is what happens when you give an important job to someone whose only qualification is her name.

this sums up life doesn't it?....the lame,stupid,ineffective,lazy arced rich people getting all these plum assignments over competent people...

we had a failed mayor of our town who when she lost her election was immedidately swiped up to be the states DNR director..not one iota of exp in that area....(democraps, of course).

its Washington and I think some incompetence and some misguidance by the DNR has seen a half a million acres burned down, and very unhealthy and hazardous air to breath for all of Washington and parts or Oregone.
