Oh, look! She has on her Rick Perry Smart Glasses. That will surely help.
With this administration, it’s not about how much expertise you have; it’s about how much you are willing to spend to buy your confirmation (see Devos, Betsy; Price, Tom; etc.)
“She got a fairly easy pass because she was nominated to Canada,” Sewn. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) told Politico. “That’s not the type of pass she’ll get for this nomination,” calling the ambassadorship one of the “most senior diplomatic positions we have.”
Sorry Bob. Unless she’s Herman Cain terrible and they force her to bow out before getting the nod from trump, it doesn’t matter how much a fit we pitch. She’s in. Ol Mitch and the rubber stamp republicans will see to that.
At this point it’s good enough to have someone who’s not a criminal (comparatively speaking). Sigh.
Wow, I can already hear the vapid slogans coming out of her mouth
Yet another Trump incompetent.
And what has Canada done to deserve a favor like this?
But She’ll Face A Tough Confirmation Vote
TPM, again being snarky with a headline?
Trump’s bottom line is America’s bottom line. Donate your way to the perfect grift.
“She got a fairly easy pass because she was nominated to Canada,” [Sen.] Bob Menendez (D-NJ) told Politico.
Right. She was approved by the Senate with a voice vote. The Democrats put up no resistance whatsoever.
Are we sure she’s not Betsy Devos’s little sister?
So, daughter of a Kentucky Democratic party activist… doesn’t appear to do much other than donate money to George W. Bush and get an appointment, divorces twice and on the third go marries a Kentucky coal billionaire… Oh, she’s perfect for this administration.
It’s like you could create an algorithm that combines lack of professional experience iterations with personal life failings iterations, levels of obscene wealth and a dash of occasional evangelical education and churn out nominees all day long.
Some Senate Democrats have already vowed not to be easy on her.
Buckle up, we’re in for bone-shaker!
Pay-to-Play, as usual with these GOP Grifters
Yeah. The bad news for canada is he’ll be appointing a replacement ambassador. Kris Kobach? Herman Cain? The clubhouse guy from one of the golf courses?
This woman looks like a Betsy DeVos clone.
The Caribbean pool boy at Mar E coli who’s been taking care of Melanomia.
This is what happens when he tells Mitch to call craft services.
Actually, Herman Cain was the board chair of one of the Federal Reserve’s regional banks. Probably appointed by a Republican President. But I don’t think being Ambassador to Canada is even that substantial an experience for being the UN Ambassador.
