#1 I guess this explains why these guys are all "former" Ambassadors.

#4 Wait I second.... I am begining to pick up a pattern in these names..... hmmmmmm. Why yes, now I see it, they are all preserved paleolefties from the Jimmuh and Billuh years.

#6 Agree with all.

Especially the "dump it" sentiment.

Don't keep it because we've posted comments - toss it where it belongs, the bit bucket!

#7 Ahh, the usual assortment of State Department...oh, never mind. When I was assigned overseas, us DOD peons roundly despised these useless tools. I see nothing here to make me change my mind, either.

#8 I bet every one of them is receiving Saudi money from one front organization or another.

#9 I bet every one of them is receiving Saudi money from one front organization or another.

Actually, I bet every one of them went to work lobbying for the countries where they used to be posted. I remember that old anecdote about Reagan asking the ambassadors who they represented. None of them came back with the right answer - the United States of America.

#11 I thought I'd killed this idiot. Turns out, I wrote over the code that did it. Now it's turned back on...

#13 I knew a Sam Brown in Washington, DC, but he was never an ambassador. He's also not 'into' politics. I wonder if someone isn't using a bunch of DC names, and attaching another title to them. We know the Saudis plan to do everything possible to see George Bush is defeated (that can be stopped with one small tac nuke in Riyadh, but the consequences would be horrific - maybe if Kerry wins). I didn't get here in time to see all the names, so I can't comment on anything else. I don't ever remember a LtGen Kennedy in Intel, and I usually keep track of those postings (lots of friends in the field).

#14 Claudia was a golden girl back in the day. She was pretty cute when she was a major. She was on lots of committees.
