Karen Hughes. Pathological Liar.

Karen Huges said (about the pro-Choice March) ...."the fundamental difference between us and the terror network we fight is that we value every life.... our enemies in the terror network, as we're seeing repeatedly in the headlines these days, don't value any life, not even the innocent and not even their own."

...Hughes claims she never meant what she clearly says on camera....
But she did make such a comparison. And we know she made that comparison. And she knows that we know that she made that comparison. And yet she still denies making that comparison.

Bowtied conservative Tucker Carlson is well aware of this Karen Hughes special:"What about your profile of George W. Bush in Talk in 1999? That had to be the most damaging profile of him yet written -- swearing like a truck driver, making fun of Karla Faye Tucker's death penalty appeals, mimicking her saying, "Don't kill me!" -- because of its high profile, and because of your access to him. Did that bring you flak from conservatives?

Well, it's always disconcerting when something you write is received in a way you don't expect. I have no problem hurting someone's feelings -- obviously, I work on "Crossfire" -- but when you don't expect to, it's disconcerting. As I put in the book, the day before I filed the piece my wife asked, "Aren't people going to think you're sucking up?" And that was my concern, that people would think it's a suck-up piece."

"...The reaction was: You betrayed us. Well, I was never there as a partisan to begin with.

Then I heard that Karen Hughes accused me of lying. And so I called Karen and asked her why she was saying this, and she had this almost Orwellian rap that she laid on me about how things she'd heard -- that I watched her hear -- she in fact had never heard, and she'd never heard Bush use profanity ever. It was insane.

I've obviously been lied to a lot by campaign operatives, but the striking thing about the way she lied was she knew I knew she was lying, and she did it anyway. There is no word in English that captures that. It almost crosses over from bravado into mental illness."

LOL

5. And she started that diatribe by saying since 9-11 we value life more
So choice now means not only you side with the airline bombers, but also, you are terrorists. If the repukes are going to compare everything with 9-11 and terrorism, they will come off as truly insane and will only be talking to the nutcases who are voting for them anyway. What bugs me is that this comment wasn't a major news story since it is coming from the Crooked One's mouthpiece.

7. Jon Stewart laid into Hughes last night.
He made fun of her acting "concerned" about Kerry's actions regarding the medals/ribbons fiasco.

We need to let every media outlet that puts her ass on tv know that we are changing the channel when she shows up. I'd love to see the media blackball her and her pathological lies for a change.
