I see that POTUS has made his nomination for the position of U.S. Ambassador to South Africa: Brent Bozell.
Now just one cotton-pickin’ minute here, Boss.
I have long been an admirer of the redoubtable Brent, who did such sterling work during the Dark Times (circa the various Obama Administrations), but nowhere in his curriculum vitae have I seen any experience in terms of Africa in general, and South Africa in particular.
I’m sure his intentions are good, mind you, but I think the U.S. is going to need someone with better credentials than Bozell’s to deal with this bunch of “former” terrorists in proper fashion.
I would therefore ask the Senate to vote Bozell down, and force POTUS to nominate someone more experienced. But who?
Well, I have family there, still have extensive business contacts as well, and even met the current Prime Minister some time back. Furthermore, my loathing for apartheid should provide all the credentials that this bunch of homicidal Marxist thugs the South African government might require.
And the Ambassador’s residence / U.S. Embassy happen to be located in a very pretty part of the country, too.
I wouldn’t be too worried about my personal safety, either. Quite apart from my [ahem] own resources, I’m pretty sure that the USMC would be up to the task.
Just a thought.
I don’t want to get too political here, but since you brought it up, I’m interested in what you think of this Roets fellow who seems to be making the rounds of all the talk shows recently. Here’s his Carlson interview … https://tuckercarlson.com/tucker-show-ernst-roets. He seems to be pushing some kind of homeland thing for Afrikaaners. Not sure what to make of him.
Kim for SA ambassador, I could get behind that. They should make me ambassador to Germany while they are at it, it would confuse them – especially as I have a relative with the same name as me who is already well known there.
I understand the desire to be tapped for the position, but I’m also convinced that your Political Action Committee donations to last year’s campaign did not reach the recommended level for Appointment to be Ambassador. Brent’s apparently did. While the level needed for Ambassador to SA is not nearly the amount needed for example Germany, I’m guessing you didn’t reach either amount needed.
In the past when there was no instant communication with anybody anywhere Ambassadors actually had a function. Now their only function is to attend several dinner parties a week. What they know about wherever they wind up is unimportant.
Our Kim is just the man to fill that dinner-party requirement.
Kim,
I’m sure Mr Bozell is going to require considerable advice from qualified individuals such of yourself and will be looking to hire.
