Senator Baucus Going To China
It appears the President will announce that longtime Montana Senator Max Baucus will be his choice to serve as Ambassador to China. Mr. Baucus who has served in the senate for over 35 years will be resigning his Senate seat.
Senator Baucus is not beloved by the media nor is he beloved by the more liberal wing of the Democratic Party but he is respected, admired and generally liked by the Washington establishment. Which is important when assuming a position as important as Ambassador to a country like China.
Mr. Baucus was a crucial ally to the President and was very important in passing The Affordable Care Act. So, the message sent to the Chinese is that the President is sending someone he is very close to and has confidence in to be his representative.
The appointment of Senator Baucus also gets him out of the way and the country for the 2014 Senate race in Montana. Polling suggests that Mr. Baucus has out lasted his welcome and the voters are ready for a new face. The Democratic Governor is likely to appoint his Lt. Governor to the position with the hope that it will give the Democrats an advantage in the 2014 election.

Posts About Palin.......
Why is it that every time I post something about Sarah Palin I get really rude and inappropriate comments from cowards who hide behind the fact that I allow anonymous comments?
Perhaps it is just a reflection of the quality, integrity and intelligence of the people who support Mrs. Palin.
I suppose bottom feeding low life's need a role model and they certainly have one in Sarah.

Palin Announces New TV Gig
Sarah's got a brand new gig!
The Sportsman Channel announced that quitter former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin will be hosting a travel show that highlights what she finds fascinating about America.
Since her previous show about her life in Alaska was an astounding failure it will be interesting to see if people embrace a show about other people.
Who am I kidding this show is going to be all Sarah all the time. Sarah fishing in Wyoming, Sarah hunting in Montana, Sarah here Sarah there Sarah Sarah every where.
It will be interesting to see if the woman who can't even speak in complete sentences will be able to narrate a travelogue about this country.
Let's start a drinking game. Every time Sister Sarah says "Real Americans or Real America" we all do a shot. We'll be drunk by the second commercial and checking into Betty Ford by the end of episode 3.
