Hughes exit a bad sign
By Libby
This makes me very nervous. Karen Hughes, most recently in charge of improving our image abroad, is the latest in a long string of Bush loyalists to jump from the sinking ship of State. This is no small defection. Hughes, even more so than Dan Bartlett, has been a stalwart BFF to the Commander Guy for all these long years and the last one I would think might desert him in his hour of need. Granted she has an impossible and thankless job but I can only read this as a signal that she believes he is about to do something so crazy, like bomb Iran, that even she is unwilling to take the flack.
All I can say at the moment is, if Condi jumps next -- you can consider it a fait accompli. My advice is to make sure your passport is current and book your rooms in exile far in advance to beat the rush.

Actually I think Kindasleazy will go down with the ship, with her husband as it were. But Hughes bailing could be a sign of trouble.
Yeah, it's unlikely Condi will bail but if she does... grab the passports and run.
