[QUOTE="iluvatar5150, post: 73705135, member: 313046"] And that practice goes back a *long* time - in fact, there's some argument that rich people are well-suited for those roles because they're expected to lavishly entertain other diplomats on their own dime. President Garfield was assassinated by a crazy guy who just showed up at the White House and expected to be made an ambassador to Vienna or Paris, because he thought Garfield owed him a favor. The crazy thing was that his process for seeking the ambassadorship wasn't totally unreasonable and it took a while for the WH staff to finally get sick of him hanging around and kick him out.
