Bush Appoints Unqualified Fund-raisers to US Diplomatic Posts

How would you like to be the US Ambassador to the Bahamas? Forget about university degrees, diplomatic careers or an intricate knowledge of the Carribbean - just raise $100,000 or more for El Busho!
"The President has managed to appoint two of his fund-raisers as ambassadors to the Bahamas and Estonia, and named two others for plum jobs overseeing development programs in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Normally these posts are reserved for career diplomats, but Mr Bush avoided official scrutiny by making the appointments when Congress was not in session."
