NEW YORK Ann Coulter, no stanger to controversy, stirred the pot some more this past week, when she took up the subject of the still-simmering story of ex-White House reporter James Guckert, better known as Jeff Gannon, formerly of Talon News.
Writing in her February 23 column for Universal Press Syndicate, Coulter observed, among other things, that Guckert/Gannon was a better reporter than The New York Times' Maureen Dowd and his "only offense is that he may be gay." Nothing unexpected there, but Coulter also wrote: "Press passes can't be that hard to come by if the White House allows that old Arab Helen Thomas to sit within yards of the president."
But when the column got posted by by Universal on its Web site, that line was changed to: "Press passes can't be that hard to come by if the White House allows that dyspeptic, old Helen Thomas to sit within yards of the president."
The original column is still available at anncoulter.com and labeled "Universal Press Syndicate."
Helen Thomas continues to write a regular column for Hearst. Her parents are Lebanese. She has spent more than 60 years in journalism.

NOW I recognize her!
Helen Thomas was in the movie Masters of the Universe, under the screen name "Billy Barty".
If you've seen it you know I'm right!

That picture of Helen Thomas has to be thirty years old. Can't you get a current picture?
To: cubreporter
That doesn't look like Lebanon balogna to me. That looks more like summer sausage or balogna roll. Lebanon balogna is larger in diameter and never cut thick like that.

It is Lebanon bologna, but if this'll make ya feel better... |

""Press passes can't be that hard to come by if the White House allows that old Arab Helen Thomas to sit within yards of the president." It was all a dreadful misspelling. She meant to refer to her as that old Crab Helen Thomas.
