Oh no! Not Karen Hughes. Who's going to now check if the correct fork is being used. She will be missed. Looks like Condoleezza will now have to do the checking herself and double her work load. Life is tough.

I love this line in the story:

Polls show no improvement in the world's view of the U.S. since Hughes took over.

...even though she nearly doubled the budget to $900 million dollars. Whats the point?

$900 mil, and no improvement in the world's disgusted view of us. Maybe if Bush resigned and pulled back the billions he's spending in Iraq making the rest of the world hate us, Hughes's job wouldn't have been so hopeless. Her job must've been like Sissyphus; every time Bush did something stupid, the boulder pushed her back down the hill. Who'd want a hopeless gig like that?

Dave, Tn, thanks for the link. It was a hoot! I got a good chuckle out of this statement:

"We Republican women are far, far too smart to fall for Hillary Clinton's ruse. We are not the mindless ninnies that vote with the Special-Interest Express. We think for ourselves and vote for the candidate of our choice based on merit. We cast our precious votes for the candidate we believe would be the best President"

But maybe you are right about those independent Republican women. Here is what Phyllis Schlafly, founder of the Eagle Forum said.
"Bush ran as a conservative, but he has been steadily (some might say stealthily) trying to remold the conservative movement and the Republican Party into the Bush Party. And the Bush Party stands for so many things alien to conservatism, namely, war as an instrument of foreign policy, nation-building overseas, highly concentrated executive power, federal control of education, big increases in social entitlements, massive increases in legal and illegal immigration, forcing American workers to compete with low-wage foreigners (under deceptive enticements such as free trade and global economy), and subordinating U.S. sovereignty to a North American community with open borders."

Bob, NY (Sent Wednesday, October 31, 2007 12:34 PM)

Does anyone remember the slip of the tongue made by Ms. Rice a few years ago (I believe it may have been after the Correspondent's Dinner, but I'm not certain) Ms. Rice was asked a question and her response was "I'm not certain - I'd need to check with my husb...., the President, I mean".

How close are they, Bob? Fair question!

(And I'd like to apologize to any lab rats who are reading this message thread. I meant no disrespect to your species by comparing the current administration to your noble selves. Mea culpa. Mea Maxima Culpa).

What an incredible waste of time and taxpayer money. The blockheads in the Bush Administration don't seem to realize that we are judged by what we do, not what we say. Showing people all the "happy Muslims" in the U.S. doesn't change the fact that we finance and support the Israeli occupation and despotic Arab regimes--not to mention endless civilian deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan due to our operations there. Idiots.
