Yes Sir! That´s what I want to be. An ambassador who may get their butt shot off at any moment for obongo´s pleasure!

What gives Cousin It any experience ?

Perhaps Barbara will be appointed as embassador to Palestine while paying back his campaign husslers.

Being embarrassed by my government is a very unpleasant sensation that happens nearly every day now...

Ugh...the twit bought her way into it. Yuck, what a beast.

who didn´t see this coming..would like to see her beaten out of it, tho..she is such a snot..and she wears ugly clothes...there ..I feel better now...Heh...!!

#2 the same question could be asked of Obama. Experience, skill, and intelligence are all irrelevant in Obama politics.

Another middle finger to our British allies.

Yet more surrealism as we slide deeper into the Twilight Zone. I feel more and more as though I have slipped into some alternate reality, and wishing I could get back to some semblance of sanity and reality. I, keep saying nothing The Won does will surprise me anymore, yet, he keeps finding a way.

Wintour? Really? Really?!

How about that? Apparently nothing weighty is coming where we might need a solid alliance with France or Britain.

See what a multi million $$ fundraiser buys you? I hate that arrogant woman... The job requires a person to communicate with the unwashed public... no way can she will do that.

Oh, by all means, consider a magazine editor bundler for an embassy post in lieu of someone who actually knows anything about diplomcy. No wonder the Stateless Department is such a cesspool of incompetents.

Send her back. Let Brits have her.

Despite her journalistic family background and some British aristocratic blood, my feeling is the British will not be pleased. She is said to be the magazine editor on whom "The Devil Wears Prada" is based--and her nickname has long been "Nuclear Wintour" for her emotionless demeanor and her attitude to staff--and anyone else who displeases her.

I guess if Whoopie has raised more money, she´d be an ambassador too.

Is that a wig she wears? If yes, can´t she afford a new one? She´s been wearing the same ol´ thing forever. She doesn´t look like anything I´d want in my house. The Queen herself looked more pleasant when Barack Obama committed the ultimate gaffe and toasted the Queen during the middle of the "God Save the Queen!"

I remember her stupid commercial for her fund raiser ! "Don´t be late"..GAG

Known for sleeping her way up the ladder of success. The numbers stagger. Surely not Obie, too.

When I think of Anna Wintour the word diplomat does not come to mind.

Talk about arrogant foreign policy.

Are there any Marines stationed at our British Embassy? Just asking.

“Nuclear Wintour” is a perfect nickname for Wintour. She does remind one of Victoria Beckham, as in both would rather die than crack a smile.

I like Wintour’s hair style. It’s classic, it isn’t bedroom hair (it’s time for the Duchess of Cambridge to trim the mane), it suits her and it cleverly hides her profile. Her support of Obama, however, is disgusting, considering that her fame and fortune derive entirely from the rich people that he despises.

Um, that hairdo cleverly hides cosmetic surgery scars. Wintour could give Pelosi a run for her money in a "who has the most ironed face?" contest.

The Devil Wears Prada to the Court of St. James???!! How appropriate for the Court of St. Obama.

"Are there any Marines stationed at our British Embassy? Just asking. "

Yes, until the muzzies finish taking over Britain.

She isn´t known for her diplomacy. That said, it it gets her out of the country, I´m all for it. (Is she a US citizen, by the way?)

Why not Wintour for Ambassador of Libya?
Surely Obama knows about the open position there...

/contempt off/

That was my thought too....who gets Libya ?

Madonna or Lady Gaga for Secretary of State. Too bad Michael Jackson died.

Some get it just right. From maryfrommarin over at theconservativetreehouse.com:

Now I know what happened to the albino crocodile that used to live at the Academy of Sciences in SF’s Golden Gate Park .

Her purported pedigree. No wonder the arriviste Obamas are in a swoon over her:

Wintour was born in London in 1949 to Charles Wintour (1917–1999), editor of the Evening Standard, and Eleanor "Nonie" Trego Baker, daughter of a Harvard law professor. The couple married in 1940 and divorced in 1979. Wintour was named after her maternal grandmother, Anna Baker (born Gilkynson), a merchant´s daughter from Pennsylvania.[2]
Audrey Slaughter, a magazine editor who founded publications such as Honey and Petticoat, is her stepmother.[3][4] The late-18th-century novelist Lady Elizabeth Foster, Duchess of Devonshire, was Wintour´s great-great-great-grandmother, and Sir Augustus Vere Foster, the last Baronet of that name, was a granduncle.[5]

As long as we´re dishing on Wintour, might as well throw this one out. The story of how Obie got her in 2008 after she got miffed at Hillary. After this incident she headed straight for Beverly Hills, where she staged a big celebrity fundraiser for Obie, and never looked back:

Anyway Anna Wintour decided to relax her rigorous 118-pound weight limit to allow Hillary Clinton to pose for the cover, and all was set when Hillary backed out at the last minute and stood up writer Julia Reed. (Insert foreign expression denoting "As if!") So in her February issue Anna decided to snipe back, offering Hillary some attractive fashions to consider anyway, and this little musing on Hillary´s lack of courage.

"Imagine my amazement, then, when I learned that Hillary Clinton, our only female presidential hopeful, had decided to steer clear of our pages at this point in her campaign for fear of looking too feminine.

And then she really gets going!

The notion that a contemporary woman must look mannish in order to be taken seriously as a seeker of power is frankly dismaying. How has our country come to this?...This is America, not Saudi Arabia."

Bill Maher for Libya.

The Brit´s love Obamie...remember the Olympics...? The tribute to health care...? The way they ridiculed Romney when he voiced a sincere concern...?
Even after being snubbed by the Moochers...the Churchill bust as well as their behavior with the Queen...the Brit´s still treat him like royalty...so let them have whatever crumbs he sends their way...! Maybe some of them will wake up...! Don´t count on it though.

Outrage DuJour.

Or is this the second or third outrage today? I lost track 30 days after Obama occupied the White House.

Doesn´t Benghazi need a new Ambassador.

I think he should send Susan Rice to Libya.

I´m beginning to get a feeling that Obama really doesn´t like the Brits.

/s

I´ve never understood how those who are supposed to lead the "fashion world" can be so un-style-ish themselves (see "Wintour" as prime example). Yikes.

That hairdo (and her unfortunate features) make her look like a possum peeking out from under the porch.

#35, I was just in England for 2 weeks and met a lot of Brits who loathe zippy and are extremely offended by his returning the Churchill bust. I told them that half of America is just as offended as they are and we have to live with the idiot.

BTW, Is Wintour even an American citizen?

Zero is sending them, er, ah, a bust.

#43: I´m reminded of the breath mint commercial: Two busts, two busts, two busts in one!

No, not referring to the Churchill bust. However, that´s actually a rather fuzzy story. There evidently are/were three copies of the Churchill bust. Which one went where, etc., wasn´t really clear in the material I read. In the end, there were many things far more important than running down and memorizing the details of that story.

However, we should remember that we fought several wars against Great Britain. Remember Tony Blair "apologizing" for burning down the White House? I wouldn´t bet against Stinky fomenting another round with them.

Good post by earlybird. I´d like to be a fly on the wall in the average Brit household tonight to hear some serious British discourse over the matter. They must think we (the Obie administration, that is) are total idiots over here.

I am not impressed by anyone who treats a fellow human being as an underling. The command not to look at someone is the acme of arrogance. I think Ms. Wintour is a snot.

The Devil Wears . . . an Ambassadorship? That wasn´t a question.
