Just curious.
Belgium!!! Oh yeah, Bush would have wasted a LOT of political capital on THAT fight. Who would have know that Kerry had a kinuption(?) fit for that post. The world would have come to an end.
Bottom line (I have a lot of bottom lines): Most ambassador posts have been given to those that give money to elect a president. Ask Joe Kennedy Sr., to the court of St. James. He was a real prize.
Next thing you know is the president will be asking pelosi if he can go out to play:
Pelosi: "Do I get my jet?"
Bush: "Yes Nancy, yes."
Pelosi: "Okay, bring Sam Fox back in and tell him we were kidding....Big Jet, right? All the way to SanFran?"
Bush: "Yes Nancy, yes."(looking at watch)
