Caroline Kennedy selected to be Japan ambassador
News article doesn't say when she will be in Tokyo to present her credentials, but a safe bet would be sometime after she sobers up.
As an aside, the article headline reads: Obama taps Caroline Kennedy for Japan ambassadorship
They could find a better verb than tap? The question is would you tap a Kennedy for an ambassadorship?
From TFA:
President Obama nominated Caroline Kennedy, daughter of former president John F. Kennedy, to be ambassador to Japan.
Kennedy, whose early and strong support for Obama's 2008 bid gave his candidacy a key boost in helping him win the nomination over then-front-runner Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, had been expected to get a top job in the administration.
