Karen Hughes confirmation hearing tomorrow

[Cocoa]

for her new "public diplomacy" post in the State Dept.

Karen Hughes might know something about Rove/Plame, don't you think?

[shraby]

1. She was on Air Force One at the

critical time. I'd be surprised if she didn't have some input into the leak.

[Garbo 2004]

20. And part of the White House Iraq Group if I recall correctly. They

"marketed" the invasion of Iraq as if it were a consumer product (which the propaganda was of course, for public consumption).

[annabanana]

2. Was she on "the plane" with the memo

marked "secret"..? I thought I'd read somewhere she was.

[skylarmae]

3. I don't believe anything out of her mouth.

IMHO most all that comes out of this administration is scripted and twisted and agendized (if that's even a word)...Trying my best to not call them all fucking liars...How am I doing??

[canadianbeaver]

10. Try harder......NOT......call it like it is!!!! n/t

[emulatorloo]

17. Miss Karen Hughes will say WHATEVER IT TAKES to bamboozle and

keep them in power.

[dogday]

4. That sure was a short stint with her family.....

Remember she left the Administration to be with her family. It must of gotten old and she decided she wanted back in the WH.....

[leveymg]

5. Thought she, alone, was smart enough to stay out of town

during a shitstorm. Hope she brought her decontamination gear.

[realFedUp]

6. Ari and Mary got out of the WH also

maybe they knew something too.

Carville's been pretty quiet...
wonder what he knows.
Subpoena party!

[leveymg]

9. We'll have the townsfolk chase them down.

Have we won, or is it just a lull in the battle?

[realFedUp]

13. put them in the stockades too

gee, sometimes ya long for the old days.

[fooj]

7. WTF?

I don't think so...

Peace.

[izzie]

8. This seems like an odd job for a women like her

I would like to see more regular people, ones that have lived in the world with us people, on the courts etc. but to send this nut case to get thing right in the Middle East is really odd. Maybe they just have a long list at the white house and they just take the name off the top and he runs the next thing that comes along?????? All you need is to say you love George. More and more it is starting to look like a Royal system. If you know what I mean.

[annabanana]

11. His "circle of friends" is actually very very small...

And he won't appoint anyone he doesn't trust...

[deminks]

12. Also a member of WHIG

I doubt that she will just be catapulting the propaganda. This is a particularly nasty strain of repug.

[Walt Starr]

14. PREDICTION: She's gonna be indicted

You heard it here first.

[Disturbed]

15. Any Dem that votes yes on this Repuke needs to..

be voted out of office.

[Ilsa]

18. ITA with you in principle, but doesn't she generally make Shrub

look bad? I hope his poll numbers drop a little more once she is on board because she is so ineffective.

[Walt Starr]

19. She's under oath in the committee

She needs to be asked questions directly related to the Plame outting.

[emulatorloo]

22. Walt -- who is on the confirming commitee? I can't find any news reports

on this; I will contact whatever Dems seem likely to ask a Plame question. Because it is relevant.

[Walt Starr]

23. I'll post a new thread....

It's Friday on the Senate committee

We need to get her on the record., If she lies, it's another charge.

[Walt Starr]

24. NEW THREAD

27. THANKS EOM

[emulatorloo]

16. She deserves it

EOM

[ObaMania]

21. Hey, wasn't that f#@king bitch..

.. the one who helped destroy *'s military records for the so many months that were in question?

[Tactical Progressive]

25. I think that Karen Hughes left in the summer of 2001,

so immediately after they had taken this country over, because she knew that Bush and Cheney were leaving America open to terrorist attack on purpose.

Can you imagine fighting for your entire career to get into the White House and then just leaving for no good reason, ie 'to spend time' with your family? No.

[leveymg]

28. She left during the next summer, amidst the cover-up. She had some

problems with that.

Karen helped out during the 2004 campaign, particularly in the effort to pull W together psychologically in preparation for the debates. She's probably closer to the guy than anyone else in the world.

When she finally talks, she'll have real interesting insights into what W's notives were and what his actually role was in cooking up the various crimes committed during his presidency.

26. Will they be looking into her mouth and checking her hooves?
