Clearance Clarence

Just when you think Obama can't be any more of a threat to the security of this country he steps up to the plate and drives a long one deep, deep to left field and it's gone!


President Barack Obama is considering nominating Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue, as his next ambassador to either the U.K. or France as he looks to reward his biggest fundraisers with embassies never out of fashion, according to two people familiar with the matter.

And of course it doesn't take long for the progressives of this country to begin leveling charges of sexism, or any other -isms for that matter, at any criticism of this potential appointment.  But my question, and the one that anyone with half a brain cell should ask is is just exactly what qualifies her to operate an embassy?  An embassy is essentially an intelligence gathering operation with mundane front of house duties such as issuance of visas, providing assistance to it's citizenry abroad and acting as a direct liaison or conduit with our leadership (e.g., the president).  So, this would indicate the need for higher education probably and some minimum of a security clearance, or at least you think it would.

The only higher education that Anna Wintour was subjected to was:

As a teenager, she made the decision to forgo academics, dropping out of her fancy finishing school and opting instead for a life that revolved around the tony London life of the 1960s that she so clearly adored. With her signature hairstyle—she first went to the bob at the age of 15 and has changed it very little since then—Wintour frequented the same London clubs of pop culture's biggest stars, including members of the Beatles and Rolling Stones. 

An education that continued (as noted in Jerry Oppenheimer's book Front Row: Anna Wintour: What Lies Beneath the Chic Exterior of Vogue's Editor in Chief) with a week-long disappearance with Bob Marley.  And shortly after that as fashion editor of Viva magazine, a pornographic production by Bob Guccione's then wife, Kathy Keeton.

Yes, this is exactly who we need to operate our diplomatic facilities in London.  Another unqualified, degenerate sociopath to bridge the ever-widening gap with one of our best allies.
