Frankly, I haven’t any idea what she’s done. Like LTG Doug Lute, our war tsar, her activities since being appointed have been a mystery.

Her responsibilities were the same as any other Bush appointee - keep Bush smiling, by any means necessary. Lie to him, lie to us, kill some people, start a war, put people in jail... whatever it takes.

And I disagree with Triumph - I don't think she's going to get the AG nod, I think she's angling for the next Supreme Court vacancy.

You think I'm joking, don't you?

It is pretty clear why she is leaving. With the Mukasey nomination looking to be dead in the water, Bush is going to try the crony-route again to fill the AG slot. Since Gonzales is out of the picture, and with Harriet Meiers profiting from her new career as an exotic dancer, Hughes is the only member of Bush's inner circle left.

She will make an excellent Attorney General.

I didn't even know she was still on the job. Indeed, do we actually engage in public diplomacy these days?

And what's she doing in the photo, Jedi mind tricks?

Is that supposed to be a Halloween photo? Ms. Hughes looks like a witch about to cast a spell. Oh and I still haven't read Hughes book 'Ten minutes from Normal.' I bought it off the $5 table at Walgreens about a year ago. Will it be better or worse than the other book I bought that day?

Didn't a pro-American get elected in France. You don't think that would happen without the massive application of mind control beams do you?
