President Trump richly deserves to be criticized for his selection of Lana Marks to be this country's new Ambassador to South Africa. Although born in South Africa, Marks is a member of Trump's exclusive Mar-a-Lago club and has a penchant for getting into lawsuits. No wonder Trump likes her.
But let's be honest here. President Obama was no better in picking Ambassadors than Trump is. In 2014, the Obama White House could not state the qualifications soap opera producer Colleen Bell had to be Ambassador to Hungary. Bell bundled more than $2 million on behalf of Obama for his 2012 re-election campaign.
To quote Pete Townshend, "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss."
