MINNEAPOLIS — The State Department is turning to Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, to help burnish the country's image in the Muslim world — despite Ellison's outspoken criticism of the Bush administration's foreign policy.
"I plan to talk to people in the State Department and anywhere I can to help try to improve America's image in the Muslim world, make friends for our country," Ellison, a freshman Minnesota Democrat, said in a telephone interview Wednesday. "I want to help win friends for our country and to isolate true enemies."
In articles which included translations into Arabic and other languages, Ellison has been profiled by the State Department's Bureau of International Information Programs, which is distributed in foreign countries. He has meetings scheduled at the end of the month with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and with Karen Hughes, the State Department's undersecretary for public diplomacy; Ellison spoke with Hughes by phone a few weeks ago.

I was hoping this was a parody. Truly pathetic to think that our government is so weak and desperate to appease the jihadis that they resort to elevating this smuck to "stateman."
Perect! Ellison can represent us as we surrender to the Religion of peace!!! POS Alert!

This is fine with me as long as he clears it first through Madeleine, and just as a last check, through Jimmah.
ELLISON'S THEME: FOR SALE-The United States and all its values.
I like the words that come up at the end of some FNC programming.
"America is not the problem."
Completely insane
If this is what we're reduced to then why don't we just shut down the whole State Department and use the money saved to reduce the deficit? It's not like we're really using it for anything.
WTF?
Al Franken for Radio-Free America (or whatever-the-hell it's called)? ............... FRegards
