Report: Caroline Kennedy to Be Named Ambassador to Japan

Weekly Standard ^

[Perdogg]

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.

She wanted Cuba but Fidel nixed that—still ticked off at her old man for trying to having him killed.

ROFL! lofr?

[Night Hides Not]

The libs are still praying for another Camelot

Instead, we got Chicago (and Detroit).

LOL!! Should have used my translator widget:

yaは確認する

[Revolting cat!]

Yeah, you know, I cheated, “ya” is untranslatable, you know.

[MadelineZapeezda]

I can't watch, ya know, more than 1 minute of this interview, ya know

Bubba- The commentary was laughing WITH the Japanese about Caroline.So, here you go in a nutshell, from one of those “little people” (who actually will run circles around bozos who can’t think) you condescendingly critique symptomatic of the humorless PC puritans:

Have YOU ever heard Japanese people speak to each other, about us “gaijin” particularly using alternative japanese words/pronunciation to ridicule our speaking of THEIR language? Perhaps you don’t speak Japanese? Then it’s understandable.

Well, it happens, and they do it with gusto, and much inside humor, and it is customarily directed to English/American “gaijin” (they reserve a rather different language treatment of say, russians or the chinee of the imperialist commie persuasion).

Ain’t nobody sticking together here. Just one out standing in their field, crying in their beer. Laughter leads to a long life— ask any Japanese.

Gotta say though it OFFENDS me to hear someone run down small Japanese people putting together “a bunch of Zeros”— because Mitsubishi made a great aircraft, and the last time they added a bunch of Zeros at Pearl we paid a hell of a price (and thanks too to FDR and his Irishman Pro-Nazi Kennedy at the Court of St. James making it easy for the Brits to “stand down” in the transfer of intel— it happened). How fitting the same party will send another Kennedy moron to set up the US.

Deo Vindice and good day.

If, and I paraphrase Samuel Johnson, false patriotism is the LAST refuge of the scoundrel, then "they do it too" must surely be the next to last.

[Joe Marine 76]

You’re right about that.

[MinuteGal]

"Nihongo?"
"Skoshi, desu."

Nope, I don't speak Japanese even a little bit. I do like the language, however. I don't care to even listen to Chinese.

[matt04]

Good times never seemed so good...

[Darren McCarty]

What have the Japanese done to deserve this?

[dfwgator]

Pink Lady and Jeff.

[supremedoctrine]

“she can say “ya know” 6 hundred times in a two minute
conversation”/
Which is GREAT, because ironically, in Japanese “ya know”
actually means “you know”!!
It’s a win/win!

I learned passable Japanese as an Army Brat in the 1950s.

Is it me, or did Jackie Onassis always sound dumber than a box of rocks? She had a tough life, but every time I heard her talk, I felt my IQ go down about 10 points.

Yes, it was definitely her job to sit there and look pretty. And Yikes, when she spoke up...

[tioga]

uh, she’s uh dumber than a box of rocks. uh, why would Obama do that when he uh never answered her phone calls after she was elected? uh...just asking.
