#1 I don't like Karen Hughes, her policies or her actions. I find this op-ed piece to be particularly useless.

#2 Notice how OBL and Congress are seeing both their numbers tank. Coincidence?

Ever notice that you never see OBL and Harry Reid in the same ~~unphotoshopped~~ picture? :)

#3 Bush brought in Hughes to deal with (and shut the f' up) the prattling Left and RINOs, whose demands for a "hearts and minds" campaign in the Middle East had become so annoying and cloying that someone - Hughes - was assigned to make empty gestures to get that crap off the table and those people to quiet down. And that's exactly what she's doing - making empty, meaningless gestures to keep the "can't we all just be friends" crowd quiet while Bush sees if he can get something going on the ground in Iraq to turn the situation around. Remember when the whole country was up in arms about how we keep dropping bombs and not "listening" and not doing "outreach" and not forming "cultural bridges"? Where'd all that pointless drivel go? That is Hughes' job - to make all that crap go down to a simmer by making empty gestures, so Bush can concentrate on the war. At least that's what I think, but I've overestimated how much strategy is going on over at Bush headquarters in the past. Maybe it's not that strategic; maybe it's the same nepotism that got Harriet Myers nominated for the Supreme Court. But if it's a strategy, as opposed to nepotism, it's not that bad a strategy. The press eats that sh*t up.

Says a poster at Atlas Shrugged, which I found whilst trying to see why Sea is so annoyed with Karen Hughes.
