#1 Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to another episode of our show, "Corrupt or Stupid?". Today's contestant is Caroline Kennedy who was appointed Ambassador to Japan based on her "qualifications".

Yes.

#3 like, luckily "intelligence" was unlikely in ANY of her communications, you know?

#4 Not an XOR relationship, but an OR.

The correct answer of course is "both".

#5 If a Republican gets into office, you all will be singing a different tune.... "Well accidents happen". "No one is perfect". "Stop associating with criminals and this wont happen"... Its so predictable. - Jart Flutle2277

Comment from yesterday, on a much different topic and from a different political viewpoint.

But I thought it was... "appropriate."

(though I highly doubt the "Republican gets into office" part....)

#6 ...they have to say that. It's part of the Freudian Projection. It's the self rationalization for their misdeeds and crimes. Others have got to do it because they are doing it. See - "vast right wing conspiracy" or racism. For them, its always been about power.

#7 It doesn't matter what actually happened. "My intentions were good so that's really all that matters..." I see we're still getting revenge on the Japanese for Dec 1941

#8 I always feel sorry for Caroline, so I will give her a break; stupid, sorta, I usually go with airhead more often, and as to corrupt; well her family virtually swims in that cesspool, so I'd have to to say corrupt, modified by airhead.

#11 This sort of stupidity ought to be punished by swift and severe punishment, very public punishment. A simple fine of say, $10 million per email might be sufficient or donate 3 organs of the taxpayer's choice.

#12 I'm surprised Caroline Hime knows how to use e-mail.

#13 I'd go with corrupt. Stupid is sending personal stuff using government email. Corrupt is the reverse.

#14 K, E, double-N, E, roll the "die" for Kennedy!
Pickled by the alcohol that's in me!
Tickled when the ladies cry, "Defend me!"

#15 There are still such things as so-called "gifted amateurS"/

MORESO WHEN COMPARED TO THE "PROFESSIONAL/
COMPETENT/QUALIFIED" POLITICOS OF OUR MIGHTY ANTI-UNITARIAN UNITARIAN GOP-DEM ESTABLISHMENT WHOM CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANYTHING DONE OR EXPLAIN ANYTHING TO THEIR OWN ELECTORATE = VOTERS.

* FYI LUCIANNE > [Washington Times] ITS NO CAMELOT! CAROLINE KENNEDY'S OVERSIGHT OF [US']JAPAN EMBASSY SLAMMED.

Various Disconcordat.

Caroline's litmus test of preventing CHINA-JAPAN WAR in East China Sea/NE Asia, + by extension possible US-CHINA WAR in same, is steadily but assuredly looming as long as neither China nor US Regional Allies refuse to compromise or concede on their rivalrous National or Geopol ambitions.

NO DE FACTO RETURN OF TAIWAN TO DE FACTO MAINLAND CHINESE CONTROL = NO LIKELY CHINESE CONSENT TO ANY DE FACTO INTER-KOREAN REUNIFICATION NOR COMPROMISE WID US REGIONAL ALLIES IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA, EAST CHINA SEA, IOR, ...@ETC.

Net News this sunny Guam Thursday AM ...

* WORLD NEWS > [VOA News] CHINESE FISHERMEN SAILING CLOSER TO WESTERN COAST OF PHILIPPINES, by witness accounts as close as 15-kms to West PH coastlines, but ostensib still widin CHINA'S CLAIMED SOVEREIGN TERRITORY???

* RELATED SAME = ...
> PHILIPPINES: CHINESE MILITARY UNITS PROTECTING [Chinese] FISHERMEN.
> PHILIPPINES SEEKS US HELP IN PROTECTING [+ Supplying PH] TROOPS IN DISPUTED SEA.

Mainly via US Air Recce of nearby Chinese activities.

* TOPIX > [AEI] NORTH KOREA MAY SEEK [Vienna = P5+1,Iran style] NUCLEAR DEAL WID WEAK OBAMA.

* SAME > [WaPo] CHINESE OFFICIAL TO GOP'S [include "The Donald's" = Donald Trump] ANTI-CHINA RHETORIC: "AMERICANS TRYING TO PROVE THEY ARE NOT IN SELF-DECLINE".
