Please share this with people who think it's about oil, etc. Especially the ignorant high school kids who decided to leave classes today to hold signs outside against President Bush.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Ping!

Nomination for Title of the Day!

[Archangelsk]

You know, I haven't heard such a testy exchange like that since the great Reagan/Donaldson flare up or the Bush I/Rather "yell and miscommunicate" fest. Either way, both Ari and Helen provide some great comic relief.

[Husker24]

This wasnt near good enough, he should have told her to shut up and sit down.

[Dont Mention the War]

Please share this with people who think it's about oil, etc. Especially the ignorant high school kids who decided to leave classes today to hold signs outside against President Bush.

Anyone who claims this is about oil is either an intentional liar, or too damn stupid to be saved. It is physically, fiscally and mathematically proven that this cannot POSSIBLY be about oil.

And the ignorant high school kids that skipped even a single class should receive an unexcused absence and NOT be allowed to make up any work or tests they missed. And if that makes it impossible to pass a given class, or even to graduate, all the better.

[TADSLOS]

He showed an extraordinary amount of restraint and part of the job, as distastful as dealing with that hag must be.

[Darksheare]

Augh.. Helen Thomas is an ignorant terrorist sympathizer who needs a lobotomy, but I don't think any proctologist wants anywhere near her.

[Green]

I am not often home during the day and so don't get the opportunity to watch these briefings regularly. I did happen to be home today and saw this one. This woman needs to be put out to the pasture. Her days of being a reporter have long since passed. I swear Ari Fletcher deserves a medal for putting up with her every day and not losing his cool.

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

She really is a sad excuse for a bag of guts.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Helen: Ari, since there is an atmosphere of the imminence of war in this White House, and since we have no direct access to the President...

I love it when the libs complain that Bush doesn't come to their skiffy parties and eat lunch with them like Klinton did.

[JusPasenThru]

That Helen, she's our babe. Makes one glad to be a liberal //profuse vomiting in the background//.

[giznort]

Helen Thomas is an old, hagged out, Clinton groupie wannabe who should look in the mirror and realize that even the late Buddy wouldn't hump this old bag's leg, and neither would the former fornicator-in-chief impeached scum-sucking President Clintscum. Holy S-it, where's the Tylenol? (to paraphrase Natl Lampoon's Christmas Vacation)

[snooter55]

A CURSE ON HER MUSTACHE !!
Snooter ;o)

[Henchster]

EXCELLENT title! Deserves a graphic:

Helen Thomas - a.k.a. - "The Sea Hag"

Whipping up another batch of Clinton Love potion - that she drinks herself.

[NonValueAdded]

I suppose if some rag wants to credential her, then she has a right to be present at the press briefings. But does that also mean that she has to be called upon or can she simply be ignored?

[mountaineer]

why he wants to bomb Iraqi people

Yeah, that's what he wants to do, Helen. GWB is just itching to kill Iraqis, the more innocent the better. No, he wants to kill the children, that's just the kind of guy he is.

Wait a minute, I was thinking of someone else, like a president who bombed maternity hospitals in 1999, killing scores of newborn babes and their moms without a peep from the Helen Thomases, the Babs Streisands, Janeane Garofalos, Mike Farrells ... hmmm, who am I thinking of?

[GnL]

Bush needs to get it on...NOW. If my blood continues to boil reading this crap from people like that witch "reporter" I'm going to explode. Enough already!

[ConservativeConvert]

I saw this live earlier today and it was priceless. She is truly a foul, ghoulish harpy...I would have enjoyed an extended exchange between the two of them. She was starting to lose control of herself at the end and it would have been enormously entertaining to see her eyes bulge, foam at the mouth and send spittle flying with her outrageous exclamations.

[Bullish]

....Helen: Well, that's not a news conference....

And you're not a journalist, Helen.

You're and old dried up hag who should be at home learning to bake cookies. Although, I'm sure you couldn't get the hang of that.

[MississippiMan]

I wish he'd just stop calling on the old fossil. She's an abject embarrassment to humanity.

Hannity made a joke that the protestors who left classes today haven't even learned to read/write yet. He was correct! One student was holding a piece of signage which included several grammatical errors.

MR. FLEISCHER: They have attacked their neighbors. They have gassed their own people.

Helen: Twelve years ago.

As if WHEN Saddam gassed his own people matters! Give me a f*cking break (hope I'm not banned for saying that). I'm just really pissed that Helen places an IMPORTANCE on WHEN Saddam gassed his people. Who cares whether it was 1980, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1997, etc. When and where it occurred is irrelevant -- TOTALLY irreverent. It happened. End of story.
