The finishing touches are being applied to the long-anticipated formal announcement that Caroline Kennedy will be the next U.S. ambassador to Japan.

SNIP

Kennedy's predecessors include luminaries such as Senate majority leader Mike Mansfield, former vice president Walter Mondale, former House speaker Tom Foley and former Senate majority leader Howard Baker.

[Hotlanta Mike]

Is she gay too?

[fatnotlazy]

Or at least the correct ideology.

[cripplecreek]

I didn’t even know she was gay.

[MAexile]

I’m sure she has plenty of experience, you know.

[cripplecreek]

The scary thing is the fact that its probably one of his more reasonable appointments.

Comment Ms. Kennedy?

"Uh, you know, like, really cool, uh, but, where exactly is this Japan place?"

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Duhh, y’know.

[onedoug]

If not gay, certainly as dumb as a box of rocks. The Japanese people are being insulted.

[The Great RJ]

Aside from her maiden name what are her qualifications to be ambassador to Japan especially with the current volatile situation in Asia? I am surprised she didn’t get the position as Ambassador to France as her mother spoke a little French and dressed in French fashions.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Except for Howard Baker, the ambassadors she follows are not exactly luminaries.

[Gay State Conservative]

JFK was worthy of at least a *degree* of respect from decent Americans.JFK Jr,IMO,showed at least a glimmer of respectability on at least one occasion (openly criticizing his filthy,worthless scumbag cousins).From what little I know about Caroline I'm not sure the same is true of her.

[VRW Conspirator]

But I want to know: does she know how to swim?

[silverleaf]

Her world experience will be real, like, uh, useful in dealing with, like, US-Japanese security concerns, like um North Korea China and Russian claims to several Japanese islands

But she did have a caterer serve sushi once

and Uncle Bobby can advise on anti-nuclear power policies

[bmwcyle]

She is about a dump as a stump. Japan will live this.

[lowbridge]

So we’re finally getting even for Pearl Harbor.

[IronJack]

Another worthless leech burrowing into the body politic. It will take napalm to dislodge her.

[yldstrk]

“Is she gay too?”

You beat me to it

[Cheerio]

Another chapter in the Kennedy dynasty.

I am so sick of hearing about "America's Royalty."

[knarf]

Don't think so.

Except for the too much sun skin .. she's a beautiful woman, aging well ...
