Good riddance to this idiot

I never could stand Karen Hughes ever since she interrupted some PBS reporter who interviewed her during the 2004 Rethuglican National Convention.

Hughes is a longtime GOP operative who served in Bush's inner circle in Texas and went on to serve Bush further during Bush's national reign of terror. Now she serves as Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs in the State Department. Earlier, Hughes served on the shady task force that tried to brainwash the public into supporting the Iraq War.

Even conservative commentator Tucker Carlson can't stand Karen Hughes. After Carlson wrote a negative profile of Bush in 1999, Hughes lashed out like the big crybaby and bully she is. In a Salon interview, Carlson said Hughes's lying was so egregious that it "almost crosses over from bravado into mental illness."

Now Hughes, 50, has announced she's leaving the State Department and her current job of trying to improve America's image abroad. She admitted improving the world's view of the U.S. and A. is a "long-term challenge" that "will take a number of years." Yep, it'll take a long time to clean up the mess GeeDumbya made.

I'm not saying it's fair for someone who's been spoiled their whole life like Karen Hughes to be able to take an early retirement while so many people still have to work when they're 75 (assuming they even live that long). But hopefully Hughes is out of government for good. It's obvious from firing up the telly and tuning it to a confetti-strewn Channel 48 to view the convention that nobody ever taught Karen Hughes enough manners not to rudely interrupt those of us who are in the business of trying to get answers from America's government officials.
