Way To Go, Ms Hughes!

Nanny Rice's gofer, Karen Hughes, blew it. Twice, yet. Hughes was a genius at flattering George Bush and keeping his spirits buoyed and his delusions alive and well when she was his so-called senior presidential adviser. Ergo, the White House Ladies decided she was the perfect person to mend the fences Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice kicks over and tramples. Hughes was appointed Under Secretary of State last March. Her duties are to polish the US image around the world. Tuesday was Hughes's first foray into the tricky field of diplomacy. She went to Saudi Arabia to speak with Saudi women about how great it is to be a woman in the great democracy of the great United States of America. She told the Saudi women she would be only too happy to support them when they sought to emulate US women and raise their status. The Saudi women were insulted. They let Hughes know it. Nevermind. Undaunted, Under-Helper Hughes went to Turkey yesterday to speak to the Turkish women about how great it is to be a woman in the great democracy of the great United States of America. She told the Turkish women she would support their efforts to raise their status and be free like American women. The Turkish women were insulted. They let Hughes know it. To top it off, Hughes told a huge lie to the Turkish women and they were only too well aware it was a lie. In attempting to defend the war in Iraq, which the Turkish people have decried and protested, Hughes said. "I can appreciate your concern about war. No one likes war…my friend President Bush did all he could to avoid a war in Iraq.” What a stupid lying twit. What an arrogant, silly, witless stooge. Two assignments. Two failures. I wonder how many more countries the Hughes moron is going to visit before she realizes that saying “my friend President Bush” will cause more boos than lighting a cigar at a Smoke-Enders convention.
