Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, will be nominated to be the next ambassador to Japan, the Washington Post reports.
"Looks like there will be a Camelot East make that Far East: Caroline Kennedy is heading to Tokyo to be the U.S. ambassador. Kennedy, whose support for President Obama during his 2008 campaign was seen as crucial, had been widely talked about as a candidate for the plum diplomatic post, but now things have apparently been firmed up," reports the Post.

Her first statement to the host government:
“On behalf of — you know — America, I offer a — you know — sincere apology — you know — for my Dad’s PT boat getting the way of the Japanese Imperial Navy’s destroyer during the — you know — War Against American Aggression.”
Considering the depth of the problems between China and Japan right now concerning manufacturing, currency, arms, the islands in dispute, N Korea and Kim’s bellicosity, and Japan’s economic debacle, I can’t imagine a worse pick other than, perhaps, Ashley Judd.
This isn’t the Court of St. James and Obama is making a huge mistake regardless of how competent the real ambassodor “under” the Clinton kid is.
We have a celebrity president being run by the DNC and now, apparently, The Real Housewives of NY is going live worldwide.
I’m diggin the bunker deeper.
“Question is, why wasn’t she considered to be ambassador to Libya? Women’s equality would demand it.”
Wait for it. I heard that the DNC is not running Ashley Judd for Senate.
Hope there are ‘hearings.’
Time to revive the Kennedy Kult Klan.
The libs are still praying for another Camelot....know what I’m sayin. John Jr is no longer here for them to slobber over so they pick his Valley Girl sister for the best that’s left. Someone needs to tell them the Kennedy days are long over.
She can tell the difference between sushi and sashimi.
I’ll wait until tomorrow to think anything about this
Your post makes you look small.
You wrote: “You know, this is big, you know.”
That was my immediate thought when I read the headline. But I think you may have left out a few: “Wells and I means.”
When I listen to liberals answering questions they ALWAYS begin with: “Well, ...I mean, ...you know.”
Lighten up, Frances .. you’ll get over it
Damn. I read the headline and immediately figured I’d start the “ya know” ball rolling. You got to get up pretty early in the morning to be clever on FR....
Greaaaat! If true, then they would be appointing a certified trust fund baby moron of the first order. Appointing to a rather important embassy station regarding N.Korea, russkies and chicoms (oh, excuuuuse me, the repuuublic of China LOL).
She should take her interior decorator husband out to the beach in MA and just STFU. Please, Dear Lord. The kenyan’s
last pimping hope for the demo machine, and putting us in physical harms way as war looms.
Rather like appointing her Grandad at the time to the Court of St. James— them needing a bootlegger pro-Nazi to have “diplomatic” (and other LOL) relations with the upper crust Fabian socialists of Great Britain, and the Duke of Windsor erstwhile king and his freaky deaky druggie American divorcee wife.
Obamaumao continuing FREAK show. John Kerry is ON the job, though!!
Deo Vindice. He is Risen!
You’re right, I should “lighten up”, because as you have so clearly shown, making fun of others is such a cleaver and witty way to show one’s genetic superiority.
Sadly, that is the only qualification for most ambassadors, both Republican and Democrat. Do you remember some of the fools that prior presidents had as ambassadors?
With respect to the Caroline Kennedy / Kim Kardashian comparisons, I'd say that's an insult -- to Kardashian. As vapid as Kardashian is, you at least have to admit she made her own name and earned her own money. Kennedy is more like Khloe Kardashian -- famous simply for being in the right family and not good for much else.
The woman is a moron.
She’ll get to prove it over and over when things really heat up in the Far East.
Allow me to introduce Ambassador Calorine.
Well, at least they didn't send someone named Bill Lawrence.
“Hope there are hearings.”
Of course. I’m just annoyed that Obama is deflecting attention, AGAIN, with more newz-junk that the State Media will flog for the entire week.
Government by Snooki and JWOW.
Forget about those economic figures this week, or NK, or anything else that is remotely germane to the survival of this country.
She is a Democrat.She is a Kennedy
She urged her friends to vote for an idiot.
That is about the Gist of her qualifications.
piss off
Ruh Roh!! Damn funny post tomkat.
But, really:
Just imagine the little idiot caroline with her well known diminished language/mental capacity of her own, speaking with Japanese officials. “Ya know” a hundred times translated to Japanese? Gotta tell you..repeating that phrase (as a translater would do officially) is an INSULT to a Japanese person. Seriously, been there, done that.
“oh give me rand lot’s of rand under stolly skies above..”
Fact is, that while they might like moron rock stars for ambassadors—the language joke/observation is quite pertinent on top of all the added BS of “camer...rot” thrust into a critical defense partner of SEATO (in re: N. Korea client state of Chicoms).
Start with “Shogun”... (let’s ask caroline to get her 2nd Amendment re-pRY).
Soggieoreo. Gomenasai.
