So...she should tell her family to take a hike and remain in the Bush administration? Is that what you're saying?

You KNOW that's not what I'm saying. She could tell her family it's a great honor to serve her country and they can respect that or not.

You seem to disrespect all those involved in public service including the armed forces. What about all of them? Should they just say, oh heck, I'd rather go be with my kids than sitting in this bunker getting shot at.

Who will defend our freedom then?

I'm with you. . .this isn't passing the smell test. I'm very skeptical and the reason doesn't justify this. . .No way! Families make sacrifices all the time in the service of their country and the "I miss Texas" excuse is just plain lame! I have to conject that she just fired - with some face-saving.

Of course being a female in Federal service (DoD) and bred in DC, what do I know!

What it gets down to is this, Grim. Kathy Hughes made a decision to return to Texas with her family. For her it's a wise a right decision. She will still be an integral part of the Bush administration but from Texas and in a lesser involved capacity. I admire her for this decision...a decision made with her husband and family.

I do *not* disrespect our military and others who serve our country in various capacities. I find your insinuation unsettling to say the least. Perhaps in turn I could insinuate that you feel Karen Hughes has gone awol...?
