Nothing more detrimental to the diplomatic core than a diplomat who cannot keep their undiplomatic comments to themselves. Look, I have a big mouth, but the difference between Saenz and me is that I know it. She is so undiplomatic that she insults people that have only used a “disrespectful tone” with her president. Then, let me get this straight, she insults the country where she is the Costa Rican ambassador by saying something very negative, but true? Has she never heard of “plausible deniability?

These sort of statements need to be made in such a way that there is an audience of one. In this way, when accused of making such statements she can be as surprised as the police chief in the movie Casablanca when he finds out there is gambling going on in the casino, and then collects his winnings with a smile.

The only thing that makes sense here is that they sent her incompetent butt to a much less important post, in a much less important country, and then do so with good old diplomatic plausible deniability by saying the move was already in the works.
