Fred Kaplan asks the right quesiton in a column he wrote for Slate yesterday:"What on earth is Karen Hughes doing in the Middle East? "
I had to rub my eyes when i read that Bush had named her head of US public diplomacy for the Middle East. Sigh...sheer absurdity. How low will Bush go?
Here we have an insipid, moronic and culturally ignorant religious fellow texan who is abolutely clueless about Middle Eastern culture and history, let alone geography (she's as well-traveled as Bush Jr before he became president) and for crying out loud, she doesn't even speak arabic (or any other language for that matter)!!!)
It's as if a non-english speaking muslim woman in a Burqa, who had never set foot in the US and had no knowledge of american culture came to speak at American universities to improve Islam's image.
Hmmm...and the verdict of Karen Hughes' first speaking tour of the Middle East? Fiasco total.
