Longtime Bush Adviser Karen Hughes Leaving State Dept
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.
Hughes told The Associated Press that she plans to quit her job as undersecretary of state and return to Texas, although improving the world's view of the United States is a "long-term challenge" that will outlast her.
"This will take a number of years," Hughes said in an interview Tuesday. I'm guessing that the world's view of the United States will begin to improve on or about January 21, 2009. It will take a long time, but that will be the beginning.She worked with Bush since the 1990s, first as director of communications while he was governor of Texas, from 1995 to 2000. Another long-timer like Fredo Gonzales, she was kept around far more because of her fawning puppy-like loyalty and bject adoration of Dubya than for her competence.
Good riddance
