Biden nominates Emanuel as ambassador to Japan; Japan is nowhere near hellish enough for Emanuel

Biden to nominate Rahm Emanuel as ambassador to Japan after months of speculation

President Joe Biden will nominate Rahm Emanuel as his ambassador to Japan, capping off months of speculation that the former Chicago mayor would be tapped for the prominent foreign post, the White House announced Friday.

The move will give Biden a deeply experienced government tactician and political veteran in his ranks of top diplomats, but the choice also drew criticism from some in the Democratic Party’s progressive wing who have found fault with Emanuel’s eight-year tenure as mayor.

I've got a suggestion as to where Emanuel should be sent.

Those are locations in Illinois.  Since a posting to Afghanistan seems out of the question at this point, and stocks on the village common have fallen out of favor, a term in prison seems to be most appropriate.
