This is looooooong overdue. And why NOT have let them call home for the past 6 years? It's not like you couldn't just pick up another line and listen in?

I thought she wanted to spend more time with her family. I guess they're tired of her. I know I would be.
March 11th, 2008 at 9:46 pmWasn't she the one who produced the fake news conferences and the phony social security news reports?
March 11th, 2008 at 9:52 pmher role was to “marginalize violent extremists.†9:30 pm
Well I guess she has done her part to marginalize the Bush adminitration and the GOP with it.
March 11th, 2008 at 9:53 pmUninformed lard a$$ chrixtion cow, just what West Point needs.

March 11th, 2008 at 9:59 pmA KBR embroidered towel would be much more than Karen is worth.
March 11th, 2008 at 9:59 pmWINGNUT WELFARE. All they've ever been capable of doing.

OT- interesting story breaking here:
A city police chief who led an investigation into charges that Britain cooperated with secret CIA flights to transport terrorism suspects without formal proceedings has been found dead, his deputy said Tuesday.
Manchester Chief Constable Michael Todd, 50, was found dead.
Karen Hughes +West Point military academy job = Girlfriday
March 11th, 2008 at 10:49 pmKaren Hughes got kicked out of Saudi Arabia because she's dumb and sticking her nose up at people. Yes her employment was a complete failure and will take generations to repair. Now she needs a job so Bush sticks her anywhere to draw free money for doing nothing again.
March 11th, 2008 at 10:57 pmI can see it now. At the Army Navy game Ms. Hughes will be noted for the the coregraphy of the signboard scramble.
My tax dollars at work.
March 11th, 2008 at 11:02 pmGood Grief! How many jobs do Bush crony's get to strike out out? She is a real leader of the pack.
March 11th, 2008 at 11:17 pmTalk about prostitution ring....wow!
March 11th, 2008 at 11:30 pmBush has what, 10 more months in office? I bet in that time he can appoint her to about 20 or so more jobs within the government.
Wait I know, she reminds him on Jeff Gannon though a little more burly! Either that or Bush has tourettes and spits out her name anytime someone asks him to appoint a person to a position. Nah, must be the Gannon thing.

Comment by ralph the wonder llama — March 11, 2008 @ 9:38 pm
I'm not sure if I could have expressed that one any better, ralph. The only question left is will Dumbya award her the Medal of Freedom, too, before he leaves office?
March 12th, 2008 at 5:16 amThis will look good on the o'bit.
March 12th, 2008 at 8:52 amThis is going to be a dumb question, but does Ms. Hughes have any qualifications ?
And as for #3 by Die Now for Peace, can I safely assume that the calls will be closely monitored and will drift to static if the kidnapped victims should say anything other than "everything is peaches and cream" ?
March 12th, 2008 at 3:27 pmWhat qualifications does this idiot have......oh yeah,
