The now-former U.S Ambassador to Luxembourg, Cynthia Stroum, had members of the small staff of the embassy spend the majority of their time on the important task of finding her a temporary residence that met her high standards; made refurbishing the bathroom at the ambassador's residence a top personal priority; told them that she could snoop on their e-mails; and left her office so demoralized that some top staffers volunteered to serve in two war zone embassies rather than continue to work under her leadership.[...]
Stroum was one of President Barack Obama's biggest campaign supporters. As a 'bundler,' she brought in at least $500,000 from individual donors according to data compiled by OpenSecrets.org. She served on President Obama's finance committee during the presidential campaign.
I always think ambassadorships are a joke. This one 'resigned' two weeks before the report on her screw-ups came out.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
