On Public Diplomacy, Or, Karen Hughes, Are You Listening?

NOTE TO ANGLICO: Your comment here encouraged me to put up a post from my personal blog last month. Hope you enjoy.

Karen Hughes, we are told, has pulled an Elvis and “left the building”, so to speak.

Noting the vacuum at the top of the public diplomacy pyramid, I thought I’d take this
opportunity to encourage some out-of-the box thinking regarding the manner in which we
“do” the public diplomacy business.

Today’s conversation comes with a disclaimer:

This is satire.
I’m kidding.
Really.
Well, mostly, I’m kidding

To begin, then: I’m completely jumping over a discussion regarding the propriety of
“public diplomacy”, because it seems pointless.

Why?

Because public diplomacy happens, whether you want it to or not.

TrueMeckDem on Myers Park Pat

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.

As with most cities, Charlotte has three political parties: Dem, Rep, and Chamber of Commerce. Pat is definitely the puppet of the COC here. What is good for business is good for Charlotte and Pat ... very personable guy, he has gotten a bunch of Dems in these parts to vote for him but I don't trust him."
