I know that there is a lot of historical precedent for using low-risk Ambassadorships as rewards for political supporters but the whole thing just strikes me a horribly wrong. First we had the trainwreck of an Ambassador in Luxembourg who spent most of her time concentrating on interior decorating and now it seems that another former Obama fundraiser turned Ambassador to the Bahamas basically spent no time in the embassy of her posting, being absent for 276 days of her 2 year posting. Political patronage, indeed. Disgusting system.
