"Is Smokin' Joe still an ambassador? If so, why?"

NO! He took an early retirement at 2/5th his annual salary to start his own business at the same time he bought a $735,000 house, a mercedes and a jaguar.

I've been wondering why he's still using the title but knowing how over-blown his ego is I just brushed it off.

sure do wonder why NYT and WaPo and BostonGlob don't do an small enquiry as to the source of those funds...we all know his wifey was home with the twins.....

Where are the roving reporters who just want to do a story?

It is custom and tradition to refer to a person by their highest held rank:

Judge Napolitano
General Vallely
Ambassador Wilson
Secret Agent Plame
