News Analysis: “Money Bundlers” who raise funds for Political Candidates that get elected and thereafter enjoy the “Pay Back” by being Nominated For an Ambassadorship are relatively useless for actually accomplishing such an important task. If an Administration wants to appoint a person for such a Vaunted Activity, some people say: “Select International Business People who have dealt with the pertinent Country or those who have travelled extensively in the Country.” For someone to want to be an Ambassador to a Country he or she has never visited some would say is “Asinine Arrogance at a Minimum”. Does the ‘Money Bundler” even speak the Language of the Country?
The fact that many People merely want the title “Ambassador” appended to their names for their and/or their Spouses’ Ego Satisfaction does not mean much for a Nation’s relationship with another Country. As an example of this, allegedly, an Ambassador and his “Lovely Wife” could not wait to surrender his Ambassadorship in a Country quickly after a Terrorist Event occurred therein. This Duo promptly left the Country and returned home. It was alleged that a Career Government Employee quietly assumed the position and his been successful in doing so ever since.
Egotism as a Trait for an Ambassador will NEVER be as valuable as Honesty, Integrity, Intellect, and Patriotism to one’s Country. “Money Bundlers” wanting the Status of “Ambassadors” should consider another Avocation; they fool No One with their Status Seeking Schemes.
Reality.
