KAREN HUGHES LAYS DOWN THE LAW....
KAREN HUGHES LAYS DOWN THE LAW....Via A. Aardvark, Dana Milbank reports on a meeting Karen Hughes held on Thursday with her staff:

As if preparing troops for combat, she described her plans for improving world opinion of the United States: a "rapid-response unit," a plan to "forward-deploy regional SWAT teams" and create "a dual-headed DAS for public diplomacy."

One of her underlings rose to ask how this effort squared with the administration's famously tight control over its message. "Recently, we've had tremendous amount of difficulty in some cases getting clearance for our ambassadors to speak," he said.

Hughes replied that ambassadors are free to talk — if they use the talking points she sends them. "If they make statements based on something I sent them," she said, "they're not going to be called on the carpet."

Just say exactly what we tell you and everything will be fine. It must be loads of fun to be a United States ambassador these days.

6. That's an insult to drag queens everywhere.
No self-respecting drag queen would be caught dead looking like her.

She's quite a piece of work.

16. You know that just spurs the rest of them on, right?
It's like a personal badge of honor to be the creepiest in this corrupt administration. If you put one above the others, they'll all try to outdo their colleague in creepiness.

15. I can't believe she thinks this will work. The dynamics are completely
different. I wonder how much traveling she has done. I remember georgie boy being quite proud that he was not well traveled. This smacks of someone who has led an insular provincial life and thinks things work the same everywhere. These people are just totally clueless. Bring on the indictments.
