President George W. Bush is desperately in search of a foreign policy success on his current journey to the volatile Middle East.

How would she know he's "desperate"? Desperate applies to glory-hogs like Clinton. Clinton was driven by his legacy. He was and still is the greatest narcissist of all time. Liberals like Thomas don't understand that some people can be motivated by something other than themselves. She just assumes that if he's a president, he must be desperate for a legacy, as she would be. In Bush'e case, nothing could be further from the truth. Like the old adage we used to say as kids, "takes one to know one".

"...saying it is an honor to be president and that you betray the office "if you get so caught up in your own personal standing."

polite slap to BJC, wonder if he'll catch it?

“If his protracted poor standing in public opinion is any indication, future historians will rank the Bush administration among the worst.”

Nothing like impartial White HOuse journalistic coverage.

Bush has been praised by Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert as "consistently" supportive of Israel. Bush got other kudos last week when, in an interview with two reporters from the Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronot, one reporter told him, "We can assure you that in Israel, you can be elected for the third term."

That one made me LOL...can you imagine the so called "arab street" if such an event were to occur?!

Yes, she is. Dark & ancient magic animates her corpse. Only her brain was allowed to rot.

She doesn’t, but I was actually referring to your threat to have her kiss me.

Amusing to hear Bush approval ratings the lowest ever in all history since harry Truman. sounds like the same number as for he past couple years, but it’s always the LOWEST EVER in all recorded history. The newsreader sounds like a freshman Poli-Sci or journalism major who of course wouldn’t remember anything past last weekend.

Helen Thomas is of Arabic descent and her Arabist prejudices motivate this piece.

This beastly looking moron thinks nothing of stretching the truth to fit her twisted agenda. I would say our reputation in the Middle East has never been sterling and probably never will be. She makes it sound like their was nobody dying in Iraq before Saddam was dethroned. She wants the president to give money and support to the Palestinian terrorist group that wants to murder Americans and destroy Israel. Helen Thomas not only jumped the shark but she swallowed it and used its skin to cover her face.(or is that her ass,I never could tell the difference)

Sorry bro, chelsey’s answer was cooler.

“The Ancient Evil Survives!”

The Frozen Throne, eh? Is that a euphamism for Helen Thomas’s.... Never mind. I taste a little vomit now.
