That was probably the move that gave Johnson the ability to put Thurgood Marshall on the court.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08348048990003701953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851614.post-1123017132261800142005-08-02T16:12:00.000-05:002005-08-02T16:12:00.000-05:00Hmmm .... interesting quiz question. Name America...Hmmm .... interesting quiz question. Name American Ambassadors to the UN...<BR/><BR/>Kennedy: Adlai Stevenson<BR/>Johnson: ? I'm a blank<BR/>Nixon: At some point, Daniel Patrick Monihan (Or was he appointed by Ford?)Was Bush the Elder a UN ambassador? During the 70s, he led the delegation to China, was CIA Director, and head of the RNC.<BR/>Ford: See above<BR/>Carter: Another blank<BR/>Reagan: There was a general in here, I think. Or maybe he was also a Bush the Elder appointment. Jeanne Kirkpatrick. She was a scholar, too, distinguished between authoritarian and totalitarian regimes.<BR/>Bush the Elder: another blank.<BR/>Clinton: Oh, the scholar who everybody thought C. was going to appoint Secretary of State, but whose name escapes me -- he helped negotiate the Serbian-Bosnian treaty in Dayton. Richardson who is now governor of New Mexico. And of course, Madeline Albright.<BR/>Bush the younger: Negraponte and former Missori Senator and Episcopalian priest John Danforth.<BR/><BR/>You're right. It's hard to remember UN ambassadors.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08348048990003701953noreply@blogger.com
