Breaking: Karen Hughes tapped to win the hearts and minds of the

[burythehatchet]

muslim world. Film at 11

Condi and Karen at State - watch out world.

[Javaman]

1. Or should that read, "win the hearts and minds of the American public"...

chimps* ratings are going down and most Americans think is SS plan is bullshit.

[EVDebs]

23. More like "blowing sunshine up our asses" n/t

[librechik]

2. can't wait to see their matching blue burkas

because, of course, being traditional women, they will be given the respect they are due as women in a traditional world--after they cook and serve dinner.

seriously, the idea that either of those oven-openers can have influence in the middle east is hilarious. Time out while we wait for a new regime.

[JDPriestly]

3. You've got to be kidding!

If she wants to win the hearts and minds of the Muslim world, she should admit she was wrong in backing the sending of our troops into Iraq when Iraq had no tie to Al Qaeda and no weapons of mass destruction. She should also show the world that we believe in tolerance toward all religions and in separation of church/religion and state. Those are the messages we should send the Muslim world. If you want others to be tolerant of you, you have to be truly tolerant of them. It goes both ways.

4. All she needs is a tall conical hat with a brim to

advertise just what she is. Did she arrive in Washington on her broom? How does her husband put up with this crap, his wife running to DC when Shrub needs a lifeline?

[whistle]

6. I would think that her husband welcomes the break

[Emboldened Chimp]

5. That's a powerful 1-2 punch...

...that'll put the U.S. on its ass.

[BrklynLiberal]

7. I just get this picture of the two of them on their knees in front of *

(bleep).ooops. had to be edited.

[applegrove]

8. Chimp wasn't doing a good job of "myth making" so they need

an old pro. Unfortunately everyone over the age of 40 is going to have to be illuminated in the Arab World. They all remember America - the country that would not allow democracy and only wanted strongmen or elites to rule.

Good Luck!

[burythehatchet]

10. You have to read between the lines

when Condi says "win" the hearts and minds, she obviously means deceive the hearts and minds. Karen is going to be in charge of Iraqi propoganda. A technique this administration is slowly perfecting.

[applegrove]

19. They need a creation myth for the ME & how the USA saved them

all from Islamists fundamentalists (actually the murderous fundamentalists were a reaction to Western support of strongmen and repression of true democracy in the ME). So - a new "myth" it will be.

[saltpoint]

9. I'm sure "the Muslim world" is awaiting her first memo --

-- with great anticipation.

Karen Hughes gives me the creeps.

[Warren DeMontague]

11. Well, let's see. She's already compared pro-choice people to terrorists...

Why do I get the feeling "winning the hearts and minds" of Muslims will amount to hectoring them to accept Jesus?

[burythehatchet]

12. oh yeah..that was a beaut.."we believe in a culture of life"

fuck you karen

[flordehinojos]

13. i just saw the two of them on CNNs Crossfire (my set was muted)and i think

they were on half a second ... they seemed to be on a contest for the MS. CONGENIALITY PRIZE ... But really, I can't help but wonder how much uncongeniality goes undetected as part of the dynamics between these two powerful women who have reportedly gained bush's favor.

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[burythehatchet]

14. are you saying

CATFIGHT??

[flordehinojos]

24. You bet that is exactly what I am saying!!!!!!!! I'll bet there'll be

plenty of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[elehhhhna]

15. I call her "Mini Bar"

[against all enemies]

16. Good Luck. Wait till she finds out she doesn't own their media.

And that the Muslim world is a lot smarter than the idiots she usually talks to.

[Supersedeas]

17. What about the time she needed to be at home with her peeps? Integrity

check....negative.

[burythehatchet]

18. apparently her peeps wanted her gone

[deminks]

20. And heeerrreee they are! (photo warning)

Much more in Yahoo photos.

[burythehatchet]

22. they give humanity a bad name

what a vile pair

[Warren DeMontague]

25. Seen "Dumb & Dumber"? This is "Foul & Fouler"

Those expressions. Jesus.

[BlueManDude]

21. won't be quite as easy as conning America. n/t
