An intriguing suggestion by Ellen Bork of the Foreign Policy Initiative:
The Senate should only approve a new ambassador to Cairo who is committed to an energetic, principled American policy in support of a transition to democracy brought about by Egypt’s people. One excellent candidate for the job? Outgoing Senator Russ Feingold who has championed democracy and human rights for Egypt’s people.
Feingold has indeed been outspoken on Egypt, and might reverse the troubling turn away from support for Egyptian democracy activists that the Obama administration has taken. Bork has other suggestions for nudging Egypt toward a democratic transition, all worthwhile. I would add a fairly obvious point: Given that the opposition to Mubarak is divided between liberal democrats and Islamists, any effort for reform has to be oriented toward privileging the former over the latter, lest the “one man, one vote, one time” scenario arise.

Last name "Feingold", ambassador to a Muslim country that persecutes Christians.... Yes please. Let the Islamists stew on it.

Yes, send another pro-abortion zealot into the Middle East--makes a lot of sense. FPI with Bill Kristol on the board has zero credibility.

Great idea. Send a left wing hack to Egypt as a reward for losing his election.
I have a better idea - make this liberal parasite find a real job.

This idea comes a bit too late, at least as far as (soon to be former) Senator Feingold is concerned. Maybe we can send Barbara Boxer to Syria.

Send him ANYWHERE except back here to Wisconsin. What a relief to finally be rid of this man who truly believed his own pap about being a maverick and independent. Good riddance to him. Egypt is just about far enough away.
