That tradition ended when George W. Bush became the chief executive. Now Thomas often finds herself relegated to the back rows and never called on to pose a question.

the President should make sure that red district papers and local stations get 52% of the questions...it would help to change the questions from the posturing dimwits from the MSM.
These people have gotten used to being allowed -- generally without challenge -- to use one set of adjectives (mostly negative) for one side, and another set of adjectives (mostly positive) for the other. They like to pretend, perhaps for their own self image, to be "objective." This facade has been for the most part demolished and now they are in some cases impotent with rage. Impotent because they perhaps cannot be truly objective -- they are simply unable to do it. For to be truly objective requires a framework called reality, which approximately half of the post WWII populace has abandoned for one fantasy or another. Most modern "journalists" are essentially incapable of objectivity, because they are unable to abandon their own illusions.
No, she can't swim...
She's not a reporter anymore is she?? She's an opinion columnist now right?
Hard to believe Bush doesn't give the old bag a a position of honor.
Someone asked Bush about his thoughts on the old crone. He said, "Thomas? Thomas? Oh! Yes! That's the woman who had her face catch on fire, and someone tried to put it out with an ice pick. Seems to me she used to sit up here in front. Wonder what ever became of her."
Love at first sight fright.
LOL.
Even more reason....
She looks like GranPa Munster
Is she one of the triplets consisting of Reno, Albright?
John
Helen Thomas' perception and politics are her ugly parts.
Unless, of course, you or anyone would happen to be a stone-blind unregenerate Marxist with a tin ear. And probably drunk out of your skull and terminally horny to boot.
GWB is a man of rare self-restraint, in that he is able to refrain from suggesting that Helen be allowed to sit in the front row as long as she agrees to wear a paper bag over her head.
"It's a tosss-up which one I hate most, really: Bush, or that @#$%ing BATMAN -- !" :)
>>>She's not a reporter anymore is she?? She's an opinion columnist now right?
Exaclty. She used to be the UPI reporter - and the 1st question in Prez-conferences alternated between the AP & UPI - and the last question came from the wire reporter that didn't get to ask the first question.
hhhsssss....
She's not a reporter, she's a columnist.
Good. This symbolic "slap in the face" is well deserved, as she seems to take pleasure at mocking Bush whenever she has the chance.

..an indoor swimming pool, I believe. ...JFK(1) converted it......
Pretty sure it was Richard Nixon
