BREAKING: Karen Hughes resigns.
Karen Hughes, one of President Bush’s longest-serving advisers, is stepping down from her position at the State Department as Under Secretary of Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs. Before taking the job at State, Hughes was a Counselor to the President and played an integral role in his 2000 campaign.
MSNBC: WASHINGTON - Karen Hughes, who led efforts to improve the U.S. image abroad and was one of President Bush's last remaining advisers from the close circle of Texas aides, will leave the government at the end of the year, she told The Associated Press.
Somehow she slid under the fence of the White House before the scandals and rough times hit (Plame Affair/Treason Gate) The White House.
I remember when she took this position that she was going to be this visible ambassador, holding hands with the children, redeeming the badly damaged United States reputation.
I haven't seen nor heard from her in years.
At any rate - Cue up the "another one bites the dust" music!
On her wiki I see she was born in Paris, France. (not Texas)
