“But Oscar de la Renta, one of Wintour’s closest friends, said, “When you are editor in chief of an extremely successful magazine, you don’t need an ambassadorship for four years. Ambassadors were great in the 18th century… “She should be named Secretary of State. That would be a different story.” ”

This is funny because it is so sad – Oscar actually has a point. In modern times, Ambassador positions have been given to big fund raisers, eg, you didn’t need any real qualification experience. By his comment, he is implying that the Obama administration (with Hillary’s help) has made the Sec. of State position, also a figurehead no experience required position. We conservatives recoil at the thought, but I think de la Renta has inadvertently highlighted this administration’s foreign policy approach – no experience required.
