You know, it has lots of American tourists.

There's lots of, you know, consular activity between the United States and Jamaica.

Important Jamaican population in the United States.

We need someone serious.

But what did Jamaica do to deserve this kind of third rate, you know, fourth choice retread?

You know, somebody who failed at running for office and who then failed at running an important agency.

And now she gets sent there.

I mean, it's you know, I think Jamaica deserves better.

You're right.

That's a good news story.

That's a happy ending.
