LOL! Tom, so your point is? As I recall the ambassador to Norway told the committee that he didn't know anything about that country and never been there. Another named the ruling party as the "opposition" in that country etc. Yes! We have a lot of very unqualified ambassadors but then again they mostly a "mouth piece". Hungary had the option to not accept her "credentials"! Maybe they should of done so!

I don't know about other countries but she actually bought her way to this job and in my eyes it's a bribe over the table.
Raise enough money for this idiot president and get a good job in return with a very nice salary paid by US tax payers.
If trump wants to "make America great again" he is gonna need a time machine. Can't believe what had become of this EX super power...politicians destroyed it.

This is not a new phenomena. Before Obama it cost roughly $100k to become an ambassador to a minor country like Hungary. Now it costs millions and/or be a bundler for other donations. Only in particularly sensitive and/or important countries do real (professional) ambassadors get appointed. I had contemplated doing this before but now it costs millions. The same for a night in the Lincoln bedroom. American politics has always been for sale. Is it any wonder that the median net worth of a Congressman is $7 million on a salary of $190k? Try and find the salaries for diplomats. Us government employee pay scales are legally open to public scrutiny except for DoS. Also, try and examine what the racial and sexual ratios are for DoS. All of that is kept secret. I wonder why?
