A woman named Colleen Bell was picked by President Obama to be America’s ambassador to Hungary and was confirmed by the still Democrat-controlled Senate, yesterday, Dec. 2.
Here is her application essay. Seriously.
Why I Want to Live in Budapest for a Year or More
by Colleen Bell
I’m “Hungary” to spend some time in Budapest (LOL) as part of the U.S. government’s Obama Bundlers Abroad program (that part’s also a joke). While I’ve never been a diplomat, I did earn a diploma in high school and college. I hope this essay is good enough to win Senate confirmation.
As a soap opera producer, I bring a world of experience to the task of serving as the U.S. Ambassador to Hungary. My show, “The Bold and the Beautiful,” is seen in more than 100 countries, so they probably know of me already.
Because of my job on the soap opera, I know more than most people do about the challenges of building solid, long-lasting, mutually-satisfying relationships — or at least about pretending to do so.
But if all I had to recommend me was a history of creating high-quality treacherous relationship stories for daytime TV, I could understand how you might be reluctant to send me overseas as the president’s emissary, and the official face of America.
So, you’ll be glad to know that I’m also a campaign bundler for the president, having raised millions of dollars to assure myself an appointment as ambassador. (Just kidding.)
"As a soap opera producer, I bring a world of experience to the task of serving as the U.S. Ambassador to Hungary."
What producers mostly bring to a show is financing. That's their talent.
But,having said that,she is clearly smarter than Obomber,Biden,any Kennedy of your choice,Bubbette! Clinton,Goober Gore,Sheila Jackson-Lee,Mad Maxine,Al Franken,etc,etc,etc.
I say this based on her being smart enough to marry into money and her job. Her husband is the executive producer and head writer for The Bold and the Beautiful.
Which means he put his wife on the payroll to skim some more money from the profits. For her it is a hobby job and something to brag about,for him it is about cash flow coming back.

He was probably playing golf. You know he doesn't like to stay at the WH with Manchelle,and wants to be out "in the rough" with the boys every chance he gets.
