It's not just that Karen Hughes said one dumb thing during one tongue-tied instance of camera-fright. She's been making moronic statements throughout her little tour of the Middle East. And the thing is... she seems not to learn from her experiences! After being challenged by some women in her Saudi Arabian audiences, I would've expected that she would redouble her efforts to speak more accurately and sensitively for the rest of her junket. But no. Based on this, I think it's a fair guess that she is moronic, doesn't care, or both.
