You've waited for this: Pickles weighs in on Newsweek.


http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,157109,00.html

HENNEBERG: What do you think about Newsweek's retraction of its Koran story that inflamed so many in that region?

BUSH: Well, I am glad that they retracted it, but I think it's really important for America to be able to get over to people in the Middle East what we are really like, and that freedom of religion and respect for other people's religion is a very, very important part of our country. In the history of our country.

HENNEBERG: Do you think Newsweek needs to do anything else about its error?

BUSH: Well sure. I mean, I think that they can let people know that it was a mistake, try to get the word out, but I think we all need to get that word out. And that's really what Karen Hughes is going to do and she comes on board this fall when her son goes off to college and that is to figure out ways we can let people around the world, not just in the Middle East, but around the world, know what Americans are really like.

3. If they've picked Karen Hughes to tell the world what Americans are like..
get ready for more terrorist attacks. Of the real kind, not the old ladies eating cookies in an anti-war meeting variety.

4. "Pickles" is that a reference to her sexual preferences?

14. you just don't know whether to laugh or to cry...
So, let me get this straight - the administration is raging at Newsweek because of the damage they say their reporting caused our reputation in the Arab world, but they're waiting until fall - until KKKaren's kid is out of college - to send her on this sweeping world tour to win back hearts and minds? If Newsweek had really been the problem, wouldn't they send her packing right this minute (or, better yet, appoint a REAL GODDAMN DIPLOMAT and not a political hack to do this impossible damage control).

17. Dime Bag Laura
Looks completely baked.

"Dude, you know what I just realized? We need to like, tell people in the middle east that, like, Americans are cool with other people's beliefs, and like, Newsweek just like, isn't cool with that, and if they're going to be like that, then, like, they're just not cool."
