Ambassador Lieberman?
I saw this note at the Poliblogger:
According to Bill Kristol on Fox New Sunday this morning the Bush administration wants Joe Lieberman to be the US ambassador to the UN, and has allegedly contacted him for the job.This is not going to happen. If this rumor is true, then President Bush is just stroking Lieberman’s ego and looking bipartisan at no cost to himself. In the remote chance Lieberman said yes, gaining another Republican senate seat would be well worth any Republican flack Bush might take over appointing a Democrat. I doubt there would be any flack at all, most conservatives would be giddy over gaining another vote in the Senate. (Connecticut just elected a Republican governor, so I'm naturally assuming she would appoint a Republican to Lieberman's position).
I would love to be proven wrong about Lieberman accepting this offer, but I'm convinced this is a non-story. It is not going to happen. Period.
That would almost be better than chocolate! I don't care if he's a Republican or Democrat, but he IS Jewish. Personally, I think all our representatives to the UN should be Jewish. No, I'm not advocating this as a punishment to American Jews but rather a constant reminder to the UN that we find their anti-semitic policies appalling.

To Lucy:
Do you recall the days of Apartheid? The US sent a black ambassador to Union of South Africa [G]
That was a nice one too!

Hehehehe. So the plan is to send all the Democratic Senators out of the country?
"Why is he saying 'out of the country when the UN is headquartered in New York?"
Because there is a petition drive to get the UN headquarters thrown out of the US. I favor Darfur, but I would accept Port-au-Prince, Haiti as an alternative.
