Karen Hughes, the ultimate soccer mom, is about to return to Washington now that her son is going off to college. She had her hearing for her nomination as undersecretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs which makes her an ambassador. She will be spinning the Bush agenda around the world and helping to rebuild our image. This frightens me.

Not one single democrat attended her hearing on Friday in front on the Senate foreign relations committee. What's up with that? Note to Karen - not to sound catty, but work on the wardrobe- lime green and blue- yuck!
