You don’t read really well, do you? Because if you did, you would no doubt have caught the following sentence (end of paragraph three):

Granted, all of them have already served as ambassadors - with some distinction, might I add - but fact of the matter is that at the moment all three are high-ranking political figures

So regardless of your continually manipulative interpretations of my posts (I’m sure Branko Grims is extremely proud of you :D) the fact remains that I a) acknowledged that the trio served as ambassadors before, b) that all of them are high ranking officials of this government now and c) that the whole thing is taking place two-and-a-half months before the elections.

Not to mention the fact that Dimitrij Rupel proposed himself as an ambassador (poor taste) and that publicly defied the President who does have the final say over the matter (extremely bad taste).

As far cleaning septic tanks in Spodnji Duplek - yes, I know the feeling very well, thank you very much. Each time you take a crap on this blog it stinks for weeks to come, no matter how much I clean up after you. But hey, that’s life!

***Although the foreign ministry claims that all proposed names are career diplomats…***

If I am not mistaken all three fellows mentioned in your article have been ambassadors before. Before Iztok Jarc became Minister for Agriculture he served as Ambassador in Israel. It didn’t appear to have bother anyone back then. Dimitrij Rupel was ambassador in USA and Matjaz Sinkovec was for several years the Slovenian ambassador in Brussel and NATO. They have all been named to these posts by LDS governments, which as you yourselve noted were famous for always getting things right. With all this said it appears to me that they are more than qualified for the job. At least when you compare their credentials with the ones of self-proclaimed “career diplomats” (if such thing ever existed in a squamble called Yugoslavia or independent Slovenia) like to us well-known Mr. Setinc, who in normal circumstances would be cleaning the septic tanks in Spodni Duplek if his name wouldn’t be Setinc. But then again I think you know this feeling very well, don’t you?

What Janša, Rupel & Co. don’t get is that they were elected because they promised to do a better job than anyone else. And now they doing it exactly the same way as everyone before them.
