See my post #80. Another Freeper pointed out a possible motive for the White House's low-key approach to this.

Do you have to pass an ugly test to be a liberal?

Liberalism makes you ugly -- all of the hatred (included self-hatred) turns inwards eventually.

She probably has a basement dungeon under the stairs at Chappaqua (sp?) as well.

Or lives under a certain bridge at Chappaquiddick.

JEFF GANNON, TALON NEWS: Excuse me, Helen. Don't you think that America deserves the opportunity to have this information brought forward, as well?

JEFF GANNON, TALON NEWS: (backhanding Helen Thomas) Excuse me, Helen. Don't you think that America deserves the opportunity to have this information brought forward, as well?

Reads much better that way.

"It's pretty much impossible to write without bias."

Times have obviously changed. I was a reporter for about 18 years and found it challenging at times, but nowhere near impossible to write objectively. It's what we studied in J-school. If it's impossible, the reporter should refuse the assignment.

There's a truth to what both of you you said.

It's impossible, but we like people who try to avoid it.

It may be strategery. I would be shocked if the re-election staff didn't have a very specific timeline as to when they want this stuff to really come out. Until then, the enemy should be encouraged to over-play their hand.

That's my impression as well. I think that in the critical weeks just before the election, they're going to be *everywhere* with ads and interviews going BAM, BAM, BAM.

At least I certainly hope so.

The problem with the media, they forgot how to perform investigative journalism. They are all opinionated journalist that report nothing but he said, she said. During these press conferences they always start by stating,"there was a report in the bla, bla, bla".

The real message here is the incredible timidity of the Bush White House. Where in the H is the Bully Pulpit when we need it.

McClellan was practically apologizing for the question which was a fastball right down the middle. I would have hit it right out of the park by asking THE MEDIA to give THE TRUTH as much attention as they gave THE WILSON LIE or explain to the American people why not. Yes why not.

Question: Is Karl Rove going to stay with the Rope a Dope plan right up until January when they hand over the keys to the White House to a team that is to the Left of Bill Clinton? I'm starting to believe that Marx was right - there are more Useful Idiots than thinkers.

Why the heck is Helen A allowed to be there and B question questionnaires questions

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall,
Who's the ugliest of us all?

Helen Thomas is allowed to be there so that every other ugly person in the world will know that they are NOT the ugliest.
