Is this some sort of calculated insult? -- nm* - Roger More Oct 17, 08:00
I laughed a lot at the location. The 3rd wife to a man she had a 6yr adulterous relationship with, is our governmental envoy to the Vatican. - Will Hunting Oct 17, 07:59
I'm sure I'll start an international incident here, but couldn't' we just have the Italian ambassador cover Vatican City too? -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 07:58 7
- Ambassadorships to smaller countries are ceremonial posts so it really doesn't matter. - spamlet Oct 17, 08:01 5
  - Vatican would be an exception though - there would be a lot of sensitive diplomacy through that post. - Roger More Oct 17, 08:03 4
    - Ah, good point. -- nm - spamlet Oct 17, 08:07 3
      - Plus, if you want to demonstrate to US Catholics that you understand their values and concerns, and therefore deserve their votes... -- nm - Roger More Oct 17, 08:10 2
        
        Hardcore Catholics that care about such things won't move because of the abortion issue. - spamlet Oct 17, 08:12 1
        
        Fair enough. -- nm - Roger More Oct 17, 08:20
- seriously, and why not have the same Ambassador for France and Spain too? Save us some $$ -- nm - decline Oct 17, 07:59
Sarah Palin next Ambassador to Russia -- nm - budice Oct 17, 07:56 1
- Well, she will have a short commute -- nm - decline Oct 17, 07:57
Those 70 were all just hoping Newt would go with her -- nm - decline Oct 17, 07:55
