Karen Hughes gets a BGO (and reveals just how unqualified she is for her job)

absolutely, totally astounding... karen hughes gets a B(linding) G(limpse) of the O(bvious) when she discovers...
...that Americans and foreigners must stand in separate lines in airport immigration, and that the process as a whole is not very "welcoming."

great jumpin' jehoshaphat... airport immigration areas in every country i've ever visited - and that's a lot - have separate lines for citizens and non-citizens (or in the case of eu countries, eu and non-eu)... what this tells me is that 1) karen has done little foreign travel, and 2) the travel she HAS done has been the typical VIP variety where you arrive, deplane, step into a waiting vehicle, and are whisked off for special VIP arrival treatment... nothing like having the person in charge of "improving the U.S. image abroad" reveal herself as a foreign travel ignoramus... but, then again, what would we expect from a bush crony appointment...?
