Karen Hughes To Work on The World's View of U.S.

By Peter Baker
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, March 12, 2005; Page A03

Former White House counselor Karen P. Hughes will take over the Bush administration's troubled public diplomacy effort intended to burnish the U.S. image abroad, particularly in the Muslim world...

she will work with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to reinvigorate the campaign for hearts and minds overseas....

aims to promote American values of democracy, tolerance and pluralism abroad while combating negative images propagated in many parts of the world.....

1. Karen Hughes
I heard she was in the hospital with the doctors trying to remove
all of the splinters from her big behind,
from riding her broomstick too much.

2. Perhaps the 1st Lady is joining
her noble effort to bring about world peace. After her recent efforts to end gangs proved so successful, I'd think Pickles can add a spark to Karen's mission.

8. Yeah. No dissin' mah homegirl Bea Arthur!
I'm down for Maude! She rocks! I grew up on that show, and Bea Arthur has been happily added to the pantheon of Gay icons in show biz.

As for Karen Hughes...just you watch, or someone will throw a bucket of water on you and you'll melt!

11. I maybe haven't laughed harder than when I saw this:
Edited on Fri May-20-05 06:49 PM by Gabi Hayes
"Ever since Jeff Ross, referring to Sandra Bernhard at the Jerry Stiller Friar's Club Roast, proclaimed, "I wouldn't fuck her with Bea Arthur's dick....."

Bea Arthur was on the dais that night, and the camera went right to her after he said it.

You should have seen the reaction shots among the other celebs.

5. If I remember right, she's still in Texas. . .
her son graduates high school next month and Hughes doesn't want to leave Texas until she's helped her son get settled at whatever college he is going to attend.

Certainly leaves a host of questions about BushCo's concern for the US image in the Arab World that the person selected to lead the booster effort won't start her job for more than 8 months. . .

6. She went back to Texas
because her son was having problems adjusting to the "big world" of Washington, DC.

Look at this woman's eyes. Typically you can read a person by looking straight into their eyes.

10. Obviously our image isn't as important
as that. Just goes to show you they really don't give a damn about it.
