Callista Gingrich to the Vatican?: Distinctly Catholic: The third wife of Newt Gingrich may become the U.S.'s next Vatican ambassador, but the Vatican cares less about the moral history of a nominee than it does about access.
MGB: I recall going to an event in Ward 3 when I was working for the Mayor which Ambassador Boggs and her daughter officiated. She was one of the Grand Dames of old DC. That posting invites socialites and minor celebrities , although the real work is done by the career diplomats. That is usually the case in our diplomatic corps. Ambassadors are mostly show horses, so this appointment matters little. Her personal morality matters even less.
