WASHINGTON, D.C. – Long time Bush confidant Karen Hughes has resigned her post as head of the State Department’s public diplomacy programs to return to Texas. “She left a lot of work undone,” said a State Department spokesman, “as she was supposed to help the image of the US around the world.”

Bush immediately appointed former UN Ambassador John Bolton to fill her post. “If there is anyone who can force everyone to become the coalition of the willing to love America,” said Bush, “its John. “If they don’t love us over there,” said Vice President Cheney, “then we will force them to love us over here, or is it that if we don’t love them over there, oh what the hell, we still have some unused shock and awe ready to go.”
