Has Karen Hughes failed as Under Secretary
of Public Diplomacy?

Or has she been so successful her services are no longer required?

Did she do any good at all in making friends?

2. Where *has* she been?
Do we just keep her in Asia and the Middle East now?

4. I do not know where she is now
I thought maybe you-all might know. I did a quick Google and did not see a new effort of diplomacy.

3. She's doing her job which is to hold Chimpy's hand..
and generally be the mommy he never had. Condi and Harriet take over when Karen's not around to do it.

5. Wouldn't it be easier to list everyone who has succeeded
in the Bush Administration? That shouldn't be too hard. Let's see, I'll list them here:

6. I do not wish failure on anyone.
However it was clear from the start that she was not cut out for a job in the real world.

The failure of our leaders to export American honesty and goodness reflects poorly on all of us.

Now we have to turn our faces away and blush from shame.

14. You have to set yourself up to succeed
Jumping on board a sinking ship will rarely work. You might become a hero, but you lose your life in the process.

The people in the Bush Administration knew what they were getting into, that was evident from the very start. When you participate in crimes against humanity, you deserve to lose.

They're getting what they deserve, now.

16.  True. But in the eyes of
the people in other countries we are all to be blamed. Sad part.

7. Gigantra has been rather quiet lately
Maybe Condi could be the NFL commissioner and Gigantra (Karen) could be a middle linebacker for the Texans....they need all the help they can get.

8. She acted like a slob in Egypt on her first trip. They laughed at her
clumsy, ugly remarks at a mostly women's event. She is an embarassment to the U.S. as is the whole group of idiots in the White House.

9. Middle Class Tax Payers need to demand...
a refund of her salary. She is useless.

13. There was a never chance of success at the task she was set to

so failure was obvious. Well, she got to travel and a nice federal salary, along with in increase in her federal pension, out of it.

Karen Hughes with friends.... I dunno, sounds implausible to me. Partners in crime sounds like a more accurate description of the people in her social life.
