#1 Bush gives women the main roles in communicating with the Arab world. Looks to me like he is deliberately trying to humiliate the misogynists.

#2 I do not know if humiliation is the main reason, phil_b. Maybe he is sending a message about free, capable women assuming positions of responsibility and leadership. Though it will spin a few turbans, heh heh. How 'bout a woman ambassador to Saudi Arabia. Now THAT would get turbans spinning to warp speed!

#4 And make sure she's a southpaw for good measure.

#5 Just to have the Hildabeast refuse. A source of innocent merriment, Desert Blonide.

Seafarious, my dear, you are bloody diabolical!!!!

#7 Ok, I'll rephrase. The Bush Administration is a pandering free zone. If you are humiliated by having to deal with a woman, a black, a jew? (and the Arabs seem to be humiliated by pretty much everything) then thats just a step on the program.

#8 It's a quiet lesson for the State Dept. people, too. Until now, there were jobs that were not given to women and minorities because the host countries would object. The pander-free zone is now inside State as well as the face State turns to the world. Oh, to be a fly on the wall at certain select dinner parties!

#9 I eagerly await the wave of accolades from the Left, once again praising the Administration for breaking the glass ceiling for yet another capable woman. I'm waiting. Pretty soon now. Must be some reason for the delay. Maybe they are gathering lots of folks for a major news event celebrating the appointment. I'm still waiting.

#10 I eagerly await our next gay, black, jewish, woman ambassador to Saudi.

#12 You have to love the way Bush is seeding State with his people. I think he really aims to clean up that swamp. I have to believe that Hughes is there to help Condi run the beauracracy, while D. Powell will be the prime voice for the ME.

#13 The more and more I see this, the more I think our good prez is saying in no uncertain terms to the Islamic world, GET WITH THE 21^st CENTURY, YOU IDIOTS.

THESE WOMEN SPEAK FOR ME. I TRUST THEM, SO GET USED TO SEEING THEM!

#16 I am not worried, Karen H. will slap her around if she does.
