Karen Hughes heads up Propaganda Department
Her job will be to repair Americas image abroad.

Good luck Ms. personality.

~snip~ .....the administration discovered that allegations of Koran desecration at the Guantánamo Bay detention center, particularly what turned out to be an unfounded report of a Koran being flushed down a toilet, were spread throughout the media in Muslim countries before the United States could respond. ~snip

Unfounded?????????????????????????????????

* nominates Karen Huge as Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy
Buried in the personnel announcements and nominations sent to the Senate. Just in time for recess appointments, so no SFRC hearing into her Texas background will be done.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/06/20050630-2.html

Karen P. Hughes, of Texas, to be Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy, with the rank of Ambassador, vice Charlotte L. Beers, resigned.


At the time I suggested this will be a nomination to watch, or turn into a recess appointment.

DID * MAKE ANOTHER RECESS APPOINTMENT?

2. Karen you sure can cook momma - what's on the stove?
Tripe? For Breakfast? Again?

Hey Judy Judy Judy WhatsaMata Hari - do you want something for breakfast besides those cold cardboard eggs?

Judy says no Karen, she'd rather eat Camel Spiders.

Judy - that altitude needs some improvement honey.

Couldn't find a good Camel Spider - so I got you an Alien Face Hugger - no need to add Vinegar and they might be able to dissolve those bars for you - of course they might want to give you a Kiss first.

3. Does anything notice anything incredibly obscene about this?
Karen Hughes is out to fix America's image, Bolton in the U.N., and Wolfowitz in the money bank.

I feel like I just fell into a Freddie Kruger nightmare and there's worms crawling under my skin.
