Edited on Wed Oct-31-07 11:04 AM by yardwork
Something tells me that it was not her decision to leave.

What a pathetic, pointless position hers was anyway. We wouldn't need somebody trying to "improve our image abroad" if bushco hadn't screwed it up so badly.

11. Wow, she has aged & doesn't look pleased at all
about this announcement. Could it be she was told to leave?
How could anyone make this administration's public image look good? That would be like asking a pig to turn into a filet mignon.

26. Wonder if she was pushed overboard?
Race for the Cure founder Nancy Brinker was just appointed Chief of Protocol at the State Dept. and made the trip w/ Karen and Pickles to the ME last week.

Nancy Brinker is known to be a close friend of Laura's, whereas Karen was close to Bushitler. Maybe Nancy Brinker's new job is to keep an eye on Condi for Pickles.

60. I just think it's funny that she's leaving --after that gaffe with the video she took credit for ...
... the one that featured the Canadian side of Niagara Falls as one of America's great national treasures. And evidently she didn't spot the mistake.
