U.S. Ambassador

The U.S. hasn't had an Australian ambassador since the last one, Tom Schieffer-Brains, left over a year ago. Brains is now the U.S. ambassador to Japan.

I think the reason the U.S. hasn't appointed an ambassador is that they don't need one. An ambassador looks out for a country's interests. The U.S. already has John Howard to do that.
