P.S......Is KAREN HUGHES still on the government dole?
Edited on Fri Jun-16-06 08:00 PM by Bluebear


I have heard hardly hide nor hair from our 'goodwill ambassador' who is getting paid who knows how much to burnish our "image". Yoo hoo, Kaaaaren: Us lowly taxpayers would love to know what in the hell you are doing?

Under-Secretary Hughes, speaking in Morocco (06/06/06): If you don't mind, I like to take notes. I'm a former reporter, and the way I remember things is I take notes, but also my husband recently gave me a little fortune from a fortune cookie and it said 'He who takes notes listens well'. (students laugh) My job is listening, I do try to really listen and take notes when I hear things I think other people might need to hear about....: Do your friends who don't speak English, who grew up in your same neighborhood, have more trouble than you would in getting a job?

Yeesh.

7. So her idea of improving our image is to urge kids to speak English.
In Morocco. Because she read a fortune cookie. Or something like that.

She will make millions as a lobbyist.

21. I just saw a short piece on her on one of the programs tonight
It was about how the US is trying to change its image in the world, and how difficult it is. Karen Hughes has come up with a new ploy: Soccer!!! She's organizing soccer games, inviting children from other countries to come play American kids. After all, she's a "soccer mom." Who better to unite the world?
