Karen Hughes, the face of America?

Karen Hughes has been chosen to head up America's public diplomacy effort, a fitting project for one of the people who foisted W. and his alienatin' ways upon us in the first place. The problem is she has the charm of Richard Perle, the diplomacy of John Bolton, and a face made for a burka. Worse yet, she doesn't even have any Muslims helping her.

Even without Ms. Hughes' glaring limitations, this will be quite a challenge. After all, we invaded a country under false pretenses, we've tortured and abused Muslims in strategically humiliating ways, and we don't do body counts of the civilians we kill on a near-daily basis. Fortunately, there are some people out there trying to show the world we do care about the lives of people other than Americans.
