Panel OKs Karen Hughes for State Dept

WASHINGTON - The Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday unanimously approved the nomination of Karen Hughes, a former political adviser to President Bush, as the State Department's top public relations official.

Hughes' main assignment as Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs is to reverse anti-American sentiment around the world.

She said at a committee hearing last week that the challenge was "the urgent need to foster greater understanding, more respect and a sense of common ideals among Americans and people of different countries, cultures and faiths around the world."

1. Maybe she will wear duck-hunting camouflage for the job

like she did on Halloween.

I hate that woman as much as the rest of the bastards who stole the White House from America.

_Josette S. Shiner as undersecretary of state for economics

_Kristen Silverberg as assistant secretary of state for international organizations

I don't ever remember "coordinators" or "undersecretary" or "assistant secretary"...have any of our past presidents had these positions when in the WH?

Peace.
