Caroline Kennedy is reportedly being considered as President Joe Biden’s ambassador to Australia

Hopefully Biden will win reelection in 2024. Then we need a Kennedy for president in 2028.

I don't know if the greater insult is to Kennedy or Australia.

Australia is considered a plumb ambassadorship.

For which European country is Vikki Kennedy being considered?

They send non-career diplomats to the easy posts like Australia, Switzerland, New Zealand, Italy, etc. It's a insult to Australia to be thought of as so politically irrelevant. Which it is but . . .

What has she done to deserve that?

Another Kennedy, Vicki, was on his radar for the representative to Western Europe, the reports claimed, both names are notable for not being large fundraisers to the Biden presidential campaign.

Other top diplomatic rumours include Eric Garcetti for the role in India, Rahm Emanuel for Japan, Ken Salazar for Mexico, Denise Bauer for France, Jane Hartley for Italy, David Cohen for Canada, and Cindy McCain, daughter of Republican senator John McCain, for UN envoy roles including leading the World Food Program.

**I believe the story meant to say "Cindy McCain, wife of Republican senator John McCain.

Fantastic! Must be time for an Australia-bashing thread!

R8 Indeed.

oh dear God. I can't believe anyone would use the word "diplomatic" in the same sentence as rahm emanuel. He's the least dipomatic person ever

Garcetti has been a disaster in Los Angeles

It'll be lovely to have a relative of Graham's in a prominent role.

I got it, R11!

R11 Besides me, you and the two fuckwits arguing on the Rachel Griffiths thread, NO ONE will understand your post.

R13 This thread is a relief after the hell of the Rachel Griffiths thread.

Of course by the time that I check again tomorrow morning it will probably be up to 300 replies, mostly involving dingoes.

Her hot son should go with her; that will give the Aussies something to talk about besides how much they hate America (because they sent back Rachel Griffiths)

R15 No E in dingo

Google is people's friend, R13.

You’re correct R16, but there is an “e” in “dingoes”.

R18 Oh bugger. Apologies.

I guess the Kennedy curse has struck again, imagine being forced to work in Australia.

Will I be assisted in the house move?

I got it too R11.

She was Obama's ambassador to Japan, right?

What about Germany? I bet that country is still furious Dump sent them this vile asshole Richard Grenell as ambassador.

I guess the Kennedy curse has struck again, imagine being forced to work in Australia.

Yeah, not much covid here, and, with her fathers' death in mind, no gun problem. And our press will leave her alone.

Her face is so wrinkled already, she won't have to worry about the hole in the Ozone layer.

R11 He was gay? Fuck. No idea.

R25 Yeah locked away from the world as the vaccine rollout gets going, the country burns for 6 months of the year and the media is totally owned by Murdoch. Oh and the locals are to the UK what southern hicks are to the rest of the US.

Throw, um, um, another, um, shrimp on the, um barbie, um, cue.

R28 - what does the UK have to do with the possible US ambassador to Australia?

The media isn’t totally owned by Murdoch. You’re showing your ignorance there.

The country doesn’t burn for six months each year. Parts of it were devastated by fires two summers ago, and it was terrible. But it’s a rather large country. You’re showing your fucking ignorance there.

Keeping the country locked away kept Australia’s Covid death total to a tiny fraction, per capita, of that in other countries including the USA. You’re showing your absolute fucking ignorance there.

You’re really rather stupid, aren’t you, R28?

The Ambassador to Australia will get to dine with Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch and do NewsCorp/Fox bidding.

Any more sun and she'll look like dried leather.

Slip, slap,slop Caroline!

Caroline Kennedy is dumb as a rock. Remember when she ran for office?

She knows the capital of Australia is Canberra, not Sydney or Melbourne right?

I remember in John Bryson’s Australia book he said the Canberra is the type of place where locals go to the bar in the Ramada to drink.

[quote]Oh and the locals are to the UK what southern hicks are to the rest of the US.

You are not intelligent enough to be bigoted, r28.

Rahm for Japan? Like sending a bull to crash into a porcelain shop. Or tea ceremony.

She speaks fluent Australian and is good with mice.

Caroline has beautiful skin

You're terrible, Caroline.
