Everyday the Lord humbles me just a little bit more. Today, he makes me praise Helen Thomas.

Cats and dogs living together and all that.

ROTFL! So Helen thinks the Obama administration is more secretive than even Nixon’s, Reagan’s, or George W. Bush’s? Oh my. This can’t be good for Obama.

“I’m not saying there has never been managed news before, but this is carried to fare-thee-well--for the town halls, for the press conferences,” she said. “It’s blatant. They don’t give a damn if you know it or not. They ought to be hanging their heads in shame.”

And, Helen, the answer is, that Obama is so inept, and so lacking in real knowledge, that they know more harm would come from putting him in an uncontrolled environment than comes from the public's knowing that it's all stage managed and controlled.

If Helen keeps this badgering up, she’ll end up in Ft. Marcy Park! That’s the Chicago way...

I have to admit that I admire her for not being so up his rear that she lets the WH bully her around.

Guess what NEW JOURNALISTS!! Helen Thomas might be a lefty B*tch, but she IS a journalist.

“Gibbs: “Which question did you object to at the town hall meeting, Helen?””

I can hear his smarmy condescension in reading this!

So, where is the Helen Thomas article reporting to the American people how the Obama Administration is manipulating and obstructing the press?

Where are the interviews?

She's offended by the process because she isn't being courted.

"I’m not saying there has never been managed news before, but .... It’s blatant."

She just wants them to be descrete and pretend the media is independent.

I just hope some of the other dimbulbs in the media paid attention to her.
