"Senator, I'm no real expert on China," Baucus, who has has spent years in the Senate, admitted. "But it's my strong belief Chinese people are just as proud as we Americans are proud."

oh my WORD!!

Fully qualified to kowtow!

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Parody doesn’t write itself. Or, does it?

‘I’m No Real Expert on China’

It’s quite simple, sir. Think of a big boiling mass of humanity that has oscillated from chaos to empire and back again for thousands of years.

Then imagine them with designs on the entire planet.

Mini Joe Biden ... all we need as ambassador to our arch enemy.

Just so you are aware - the weekly standard is working for the bad guys. Think of any law you don’t like (that actually affects you) and chances are the weekly standard argued for it. NDAA. Patriot act etc. Probably because they really really care for our safety.

Likely the most important ambassadorial post we have and Obama and the Democrats give us this. Norway won’t hurt us too much but an ex Senator in China . . . Wait, never mind, I was forgetting our esteemed SOS.

[right way right]

I'm no expert on China but I think they have squinted eyes and they eat rice instead of potatoes.

Can I be an ambassador?

[lefty-lie-spy]

Here was an Ambassador to China that knew more than most Chinese about the country. Notice he was nominated under Reagan. I’m happy to say he was my great Uncle.

That's honest and humble response -- I don't count it as a 'bad mark' against him.

[MeshugeMikey]

they asked em the wrong questions?...

[MeshugeMikey]

I cant imagine how much ludicrous barrys choices could get!

[MeshugeMikey]

see my Baucus parody above....

Max Baucus: Not exactly prepared to be Ambassador to China

[1st Division guy]

[ifinnegan]

So you agree with and support this appointment by Obama.

Good for you.

[SteelTrap]

No. I do not support this appointment. Do you support it?

[ifinnegan]

No.

[dfwgator]

He’s about as qualified as Caroline Kennedy.

[SteelTrap]

So we are in agreement. Good. Welcome aboard.
