Karen Hughes: Winning hearts and minds

“Some may ask how somebody with a lack of understanding of the region could even remotely win the hearts and minds of Muslims, but I say, "It could happen." (Cue Judy Tenuto with her accordion - "Worship the Goddess!")

Hughes to exit State Department

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Long-time Bush adviser Karen Hughes will leave her post as undersecretary of state at the State Department in mid-December, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice announced Wednesday.

Hughes served as undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs since her appointment to the post in March 2005, and was charged with running the State Department's campaign to "win the hearts and minds of the Muslim world."

In September of that year, Hughes traveled throughout the Middle East as part of what she dubbed a "listening tour" to repair America's image among Muslims. But it was a tough sell, and many Arabs criticized her for what they called her lack of understanding of the region.

Rice praised Hughes' accomplishments in polishing the U.S. image, especially in the Muslim world, and thanked Hughes for her "wisdom and advice." Hughes previously served for 18 months as the president's White House counselor, and has been one Bush's closest advisers since his days as Texas' governor.

However, she left Washington in the summer of 2002, saying she wanted to be with her family in Texas.

On Wednesday, Hughes said she is looking forward to rejoining her family in the Lone Star State.”

“The Bush Regime Sucks

"anal-ize" that one”

“You are saying there is no gravity and if not for Bush we would all float off into space?”

“Aw shucks, I thought you were gonna tell me that I "hate America".

Boy, I cain't figger you out.”

“well I said you hate America because you said trying to sell America to the towel heads, errr I mean muslims, is like polishing a turd. Thus since you think America is a turd, then you must hate America. Unless in your world calling something a turd is a compliment.

On the other hand, you don't have to hate America to hate one of its citizens.”

“"well I said you hate America because you said trying to sell America to the towel heads...."

Here's what I actually said.....

"Karen Hughes' job was to sell the war to the Arab world."
