Its funny when you start randomly googling names on that donor list.

Mark Gilbert is a former MLB player from the 80s who became the ambassador to New Zealand. Obama nominated him in 2013 and he was confirmed in 2014. After his Baseball career he worked his way into a sales position at a wall street firm, eventually working as a senior vice president at Goldman Sachs and worked with the Lehman brothers. He raised over $1mil for Obama and apparently almost $1.5mil for Hillary, that apparently is how you become an ambassador of a country, just donate millions to a political party.

Political donors only want the nice cushy ambassador positions in friendly first-world countries, like western Europe, Canada, or Singapore. They get diplomatic immunity and a sweet house and a staff, and their deputy, who is an actual state department careerist, does all the work. The ambassadors in shitholes like Benghazi are actual diplomats.

I would imagine too that when you're handing out cushy positions to people for just out and out giving you money you set them up in safe countries that they can't cause any major issues. If your ambassador gets drunk, tells off the locals, then passes out in the street New Zealand is just going to tell you to get this drunken rear end in a top hat out of their country, while doing it places like Libya, Russia, or Venezuela could set back relations for a generation.

Not even that. In the Hague ambassadors park wherever they want, run red lights and their aides pick fights with news crews and nothing happens. And this is poo poo tier African countries. I imagine the US ambassador can pretty much do whatever the gently caress he wants.

Apparently you can learn for yourself how sweet being a U.S. Ambassador is when the hit Danish show Jeg Er Ambassadøren fra Amerika ("I am the Ambassador From America") comes to Netflix this fall.

The Atlantic posted:

A Danish biography of Gifford was a best seller. At a music festival in June, the chart-topping Danish pop band Lukas Graham dedicated its song “Nice Guy” to him.

“Rufus Gifford is a rock star,” Nicolai Wammen, a Danish MP and a friend of Gifford’s, told me. As an appointee of President Obama’s, Gifford is likely nearing the end of his diplomatic stint, though Danes frequently ask him to stay. His biographer, Stéphanie Surrugue, remembers walking alongside Gifford at a political gathering and noticing that he was getting as much attention as the nearby prime minister. “People were shouting ‘Rufus!’ as they were shouting ‘Lars’ after the prime minister.” It was, she says, “a little bit crazy.”
