KAREN HUGHES is going to "present our message to the world?!?!"

[MnFats]

Just heard on NPR that Bush/Rice have named the wonderful diplomat Karen Hughes to some sort of world PR position.
She will be tasked with bringing the administration's message to the world, with an emphasis on reaching out to Muslims.
I feel SSSOOOO reassured by this.


Up is Down.
Bad is Good.
Ignorance is Strength.....ah, hell, you know the rest.

1. This Muslim says "No thanks!"

[Spinzonner]

2. Nah, she's Condi's minder

[janx]

3. Yeah. She'll be like a large June Cleaver--from Texas! n/t

[spanone]

4. Well she's so cudly. Like a freakin' grizzly bear.

Bush* gives the world THE FINGER in the form of hughes.

[Patiod]

8. Hey, no bustin' on us Amazons

What exactly is wrong with taller gals??????

[MnFats]

10. ain't NOTHIN' wrong with tall women!

I dig tall women, yes indeed.
unless they're Karen Hughes or Condi Rice or...oh, you know what I mean....

[spanone]

20. I was referring to her personality, not her person.

[Kadie]

5. What exactly is "our" message to the world?

and is she really going to present it, or just annoy everyone else like she does us?

[walldude]

22. The message is: RUN LIKE HELL!!!!!! n/t

[pinto]

24. good question..n/t

[earthside]

6. World War III n/t

[hiley]

23. Exactly !

Karen Hughes is divisive and probably one of the best liars I have ever seen.Even better than Miss Mushroom Cloud.

[RevCheesehead]

7. Am I mistaken? Isn't this in the job description for Condi??

And what about the ambassador to the UN? Do we even have one?

This simply stinks to high heaven. Something's up.

9. Bush is down in the polls. His SS fix is failing. Guys are going to Canada

Lets hope it's keeping him awake nights. KKKaren can tell how great he is.

[Katherine2]

11. How ironic

She's the one who supposedly wrote the "speech" that the Bush twins gave at the convention. She's not even in touch with Americans, and she's gonna try to make us look good to the rest of the world? Okayyyyy.

[BrotherBuzz]

12. If I'm not mistaken, Bush* just nominated John Bolton to UN

This is like nominating David Duke to be ambassador to Israel.

[tanyev]

13. You go do that, Karen.

But unless you have some very carefully pre-screened Muslim audiences, I don't think it will be the cakewalk that Bush's townhall meetings are. Lots of luck.

[Old and In the Way]

14. Seems we're running out of messengers.

Anyone else think this rather small circle of re-cycled political aides and PR flacks is telling of an administration unable to find qualified people willing to take the hi-visibility roles and carry this administration's water? Bush's little universe of trusted hacks and yes people make for a rather limited selection of "qualified" people.

[tanyev]

16. This was mentioned in an editorial recently

And, like the Democrats, the Bush administration keeps demonstrating that its bench also is not deep.

Two recent White House appointments highlight the thinness: The pool of the Bush loyalty troops is shrinking, and the naming of Michael Chertoff as head of Homeland Security and John Negroponte as director of National Intelligence are examples of the slim catches that remain.
---snip---
That he is now George W. Bush's chief briefer on intelligence matters closes the circle: It is as if the family is only talking to itself. Given the limited personnel that President Bush deals with -- people with extensive dealings with the entire Bush family -- there is something of a crime syndicate atmosphere about the entire enterprise. When there are so few to be trusted, what are they being trusted with?

15. and hey, didn't she leave the white house to go back ...

...to texas and spend time with her family? I guess she's spent enough time with them now...."Bye, kids, I'm off to Karachi. See you in a month! Remember to do your homework. and Brush Your TEETH!"

[RevCheesehead]

17. maybe her family got fed up with her whining..

"you know, I don't NEED this! I could be in Washington!"

the family replies, "see ya." :hi:

[pinkpops]

26. She left because her husband wouldn't eat her -

but he said he was simply afraid of mad cow disease.

[realFedUp]

18. Will she be speaking Rovian....

or just with a forked tongue?

[rzemanfl]

19. Even that bow-tied fascistic moron Tucker Carlson has called

Karen Huge a liar. She lies like the Energizer Bunny, who better to carry *'s message?

[pinto]

21. I think she's been placed at State monitor the RW "reorganization" there,

provide suitable cover - and deniability - for Condi and, Oh yeah, spread American goodwill.....

[sharman]

25. I vividly remember the first message

I ever heard her deliver. Just after election 2000, it was Karen's sweet voice I heard on the radio, earnestly explaining that of course Palm Beach County was a Buchanan stronghold.

Why would anyone think her insincere?
