ANOTHER "MICHAEL BROWN"

You may recall that Brown was the horse show judge who Fredo made head of FEMA. Karen Hughes, another incompetent crony, was made an undersecretary of state in charge of improving our image in the world. That didn't work out very well:

Polls show no improvement in the world's view of the U.S. since Hughes took over. A Pew Research Center survey earlier said the unpopular Iraq war is a persistent drag on the U.S. image and has helped push favorable opinion of the United States in Muslim Indonesia, for instance, from 75 percent in 2000 to 30 percent last year.
