KAREN HUGHES, ANOTHER BUSHIE INCOMPETENT

Hughes, Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs , has been touring Muslim countries to help boost our image. A long-time crony of Bush, she has made two large errors that we know of already.

(1) KAREN HUGHES ON OUR CONSITUTION

UNDER SECRETARY HUGHES: I haven’t really heard a lot of that. I had one person at one lunch raise the issue of the President mentioning God in his speeches. And I asked whether he was aware that previous American presidents have also cited God, and that our Constitution cites "one nation under God."

(2) KAREN HUGHES ON SADDAM

Bush Public Relations Envoy Flubs Iraq Fact
Karen Hughes Insists Saddam Gassed 'Hundreds of Thousands'
By CHRIS BRUMMITT, AP


JAKARTA, Indonesia (Oct. 21) - Karen Hughes, who has faced a rocky road since being named Washington's public relations chief, answered tough questions Friday about the invasion of Iraq, and wrongly stated that Saddam Hussein gassed to death "hundreds of thousands" of his people.
Although the U.S. undersecretary for public diplomacy twice repeated the claim after being challenged by journalists, Gordon Johndroe, a State Department official traveling with Hughes, later called The Associated Press to say she misspoke.
