Just a minute here!!! Are you suggesting that appointing the woman who was Newt Gingrich's mistress to be Ambassador to the Vatican might be based on criteria other than the "appropriateness" of the selection?  You are such a cynic!!! 

"Callista currently runs a multimedia company with her husband and is the author of multiple New York Times bestselling children’s books featuring patriotic themes. She is also credited with converting her husband — with whom she had a years-long affair during his marriage to then-wife Marianne — to Catholicism"  She's such a good Catholic.....after having about a six year adulterous relationship with Newt when he was married to Marianne, she helped make him a good Catholic, too... 

What an unbelieveable insult to the Vatican.....Gary Crum
