Pro-Choice, Pro-Terrorist?

BOSTON -- Is it possible that Karen Hughes is getting a little rusty?



When she was the full-time communications director for the White House, Hughes was regarded as the supreme spinner. Reporters actually got dizzy watching her pirouette.

But now the spin is looking more like a tailspin. On a day when nearly a million women and men filled the Mall in Washington for the March for Women's Lives, she drew a comparison between being pro-life and anti-terrorist or, conversely, pro-choice and pro-terrorist.

Wolf Blitzer asked the Bush adviser whether abortion would be an issue in this election. "Well, Wolf, it's always an issue," she answered. "And I frankly think it's changing somewhat. I think after September 11th the American people are valuing life more and realizing that we need policies to value the dignity and worth of every life."

"Granted, this is an administration that doesn't want us to believe what it says. It wants us to believe what it says it said. But this time she'd better reread her own memories of being a young journalist: "Thus began my lifelong preoccupation with choosing just the right word.""


"Well, I'm glad that this administration has worked out so well for the inner, upper, circle of Bush's female defenders. Now what about the rest of us?"
