Why the hell does Joe Biden want to appoint Rahm Emanuel ambassador to Japan?
Rahm has a serious claim to be the most overrated man in Politics, he does not speak Japanese, and he is a loud obnoxious bully, which does not play well with Japanese social norms.
Anyone this side of the “My Pillow” guy would have been a better selection.
The man is a cancer on the body politic:
Joe Biden has picked the former Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel to be his ambassador to Japan.
………
Some progressives view Emanuel as a major antagonist within the party. He is often criticized among liberals, for example, for his handling of a shooting of an African American teenager during his time in Chicago.
He covered up the shooting, and kept the shooter on the force until the courts forced the release of the video.
I get that political supporters get assignments like this, but why the f%$# do you have to appoint someone so completely ill-suited to the position.
Keeping him inside the tent pissing out, I’d guess.
Ask yourself how many other jobs he could end up doing if not this? This at least shuffles him well off the stage of domestic politics.
It's a valid point, but Rahm won't be inside the tent pissing out, he will be inside the tent pissing in.
He's totally toxic.
