Salon.com | One minute from abnormal: "In the carefully rendered world where Hughes lives, the weapons of mass destruction are not missing; they have only to be discovered. Terrorists hate freedom and liberty and equality, instead of hating Americans. A man who won a Silver Star for shedding blood for his country needs to explain himself, while a young lieutenant who skipped out on an officer's commission and a coveted pilot's slot has 'served honorably.' On Planet Hughes, life is returning to normal in Iraq, the horrors are diminishing and the casualties of Americans and Iraqis are not that significant. It's a happy place where presidents never make mistakes and there is never anything to be sorry about. One can almost see her in the back of the room, her mouth rounded with expression and secretly moving in unison with the president as he speaks the words 'Donald Rumsfeld is a superb secretary of defense.'"

Oh man, this is an interesting look at Karen Hughes. It raises something kind of interesting about the cult of personality surrounding Bush. I don't remember similar fans of his dad, or even of Clinton. I can't imagine someone supporting Kerry with such mindless support.
