White House Secretary Karen Hughes is set to resign today!
More as it comes!
She is ... her advice to the President was upfront and solid. He's going to miss her ...
I can sure understand that! The woman is in at the crack of dawn and doesn't get home til 8 or 9 at night. And her son is at that 'teenage' stage; it would be good for him to have her around more. I wish her the best of luck!
As I recall, she hadn't intended to move to DC in the first place, and only did so out of loyalty. She's always made no bones about the fact that she'd much rather be raising her son.
Good on her.
