It looks like another fat rat has decided to abandon the sinking ship of state, the USS Disaster, captained by George Bush. This one is Karen Hughes, who was in charge of improving the U.S. image abroad, which she and the rest of Bush’s crew destroyed. She said improving the world’s image of the U.S. will be a “long-term challenge” that will outlast her. Her statement indicates the extent of the damage that the Bush administration has done to America’s reputation. In fact, repair cannot begin until Bush and all the rodents who follow him like a piece of smelly cheese are gone.
White House press secretary Dana Perino praised Hughes’s performance, showing just what an idiot the press secretary is. For one thing, Karen Hughes was a member of the White House Iraq Group, whose job it was to dupe the American people into believing invading Iraq was a good idea. It must be satisfying knowing that you follow in the footsteps of such great propagandists as Joseph Goebbels, whose job it was to convince the German people that going to war was a good idea. In addition, just as Goebbels vilified the Jews, Hughes organized a media campaign that vilified the Democratic governor of Texas, Ann Richards (a good Texan, thus a member of an endangered species). I wonder if the smell of sulfur follows Karen Hughes as it does her boss and her fellow henchman Karl Rove?
Ms Hughes may think she can slink back to Texas with a clear conscience, but like the monster she helped foist upon the American people, her hands are soaked with the blood of Iraqi civilians and American soldiers and will leave a trail wherever she goes. I suppose as long as she remains in the great, nefarious state of Texas she can feel good about going out in public, but anywhere else in the U.S. and the rest of the world she will be seen as a monster, Grendel Bush’s monster mother.
If you disagree, just take a few minutes to consider the present state of the nation, and while you are at it, consider what exactly Bush and his band of bandits have done for the American people. Consider Bush’s war in Iraq and how much it has cost in lives and tax dollars. I won’t ask you to consider its effect upon the nation’s reputation because it seems like Ms Hughes most Americans could care less about what the rest of the world thinks about them. But consider the problem of illegal immigration and how George Bush has been more of an ally of the illegal aliens than of the American people. Finally, consider what has happened to the price of oil since Bush has been president. The answer is that it has made obscene profits for the oil industry, thus for Bush’s family and friends, and made poorer nonwealthy Americans.
Goodbye Karen, and good riddance.
