I think thats one of those diplomatic jobs that requires the ability to throw a good dinner party, remember names and faces, and be good at witty rejoinders. Probably the guys that get the job have been fine, even if its "traditionally" a buddy-deal kind of thing.

There's bigger fish to fry elsewhere.
