#1 Trailing Wife should be nominated for Ambassadress to Bahrain. (I didn't say she should serve - we like her too much to punish her that way.)

#2 What a sweet thing to say, dear Menhadden Snogum6713! You're quite right about not serving, too -- the probability approaches 100% that I would forget about being diplomatic at a critical point, plunging the entire world into open war, and I'd feel just awful about it.

#3 I'm 100% behind you TW, but I think being outspoken is a plus, not a liability, if the world can't handle truth, too bad.

#4 Its an old tactic in the moslem world to send dhimmi citizens to represent them in strong infidel countries.

In our country we usually send big campaign contributors as ambassadors to 2nd and 3rd tier countries (or sometimes we send people we want out of the country for other reasons). Unless I miss my guess, TW wouldn't fall into the 'big campaign contributor' category. However, Obama might consider the other category for TW if he wins.

#5 Ummm, this could easily be a "Send the troublemaker out of town, and be rid of her" ploy

#6 Bahrain is one of the few countries in the Middle East that is run with adult supervision. Call me a starry-eyed optimist if you will, but I think this is a genuine good sign.

#7 MHW - if BO wins the White House, I'm moving to remote Alaska, and urging the state to secede.
