Monkey-brained Musings

Karen Hughes

On Wednesday, Austin resident and former counselor to President Bush, Karen Hughes, was on NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross to promote her new book. Ms. Hughes referenced several classical virtues from the Bible - humility, love thy neighbor, turn the other cheek - and said that people should be comforted that President Bush practices these beliefs and prays every day for guidance. What discomforts me is how the President appears to practice none of these virtues, and how his supporters seem to overlook how he goes pridefully forward in our name, alienating our neighbors and scathingly lashing out at any and all critics and affronts, real and imagined.
