Hughes's Role to Be Outreach to Muslims

Declaring that the United States "must do a better job of engaging the Muslim world," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice introduced former presidential adviser Karen Hughes yesterday as the Bush administration's choice for a State Department post designed to change Islamic perceptions about America.

Hughes, pending confirmation by the Senate, would become undersecretary of state for public diplomacy with the rank of ambassador.

Okay, Karen can you even spell Koran?

Call me naive, but it has always been my general notion that the best type of person to reach out to the Muslim World from America might be, oh, I dunno, AN AMERICAN MUSLIM?

You'd laugh your goddamn head off at how pathetic it is, until you realize what a poke in the eye this is and how this Administration is so vacuum packed in its own Cocoon of Unreality that they think this is a brilliant idea.
