Is Helen Thomas A Bonafide Idiot or a Certified Idiot? (What's Her Obsession??)
Fox News ^

Posted on 09/26/2001 1:07:56 PM PDT by Recovering_Democrat

Just finished watching the Ari Fleischer press briefing (the transcript no doubt can be found somewhere else on FR), and NOW I'm watching the press questions to President Bush at the Muslim leaders meeting.

Helen Thomas must really be hurting for a story...she has hounded the President and Ari with the same inane question: "Do you consider Osama bin Laden a religious leader or a political leader?" Grandma Thomas can't seem to accept the answer, "Evil man, he's a terrorist." She's obsessed with trying to pin the administration down to ONE answer...as if THOSE are the only two options.

So I ask, is Helen Thomas a BONAFIDE idiot, or merely a CERTIFIED one?
And while I'm at it: why doesn't this argumentative, liberal old sop RETIRE??

I saw that earlier today. She gets scarier looking every day. I think her obsession is pushing her lib agenda and trying to make the president look stupid but it is totally backfiring. Isn't Ari great? I love how he handles her.

The USDA, having declared her Grade A Prime Idiot, has stamped said designation on her butt in purple ink.

Poor old Helen is as crazy as a rabid dog on lithium. She kept repeating the question because she couldn't remember if she asked it already. She reminds me of one of those women who call a neighbor to help her look for the glasses on top of her head.

She is an Arab and naturally she is trying to promote the Arab view.

More importantly:

Did Helen Thomas spring from the creative mind of Jim Henson or is she a Syd & Marty Krofft original?

Here's a better question: Why let her ask any question at a press conference.

It's like O'Reilly inviting Donahue, why?

Ignore the idiots/traitors!

She got her certificate 20 years ago when she was not yet senile.

Good reply. Thomas had a retirement party - I think that obligates her to move to Florida, maybe move in with Janet Reno.

Now THERE'S a visual we did not need. I guess the whole Hillary/alien slobber thing wasn't enough...

Were it not for her advanced chronological distinction I would think she had jumped right off of "South Park".

C'mon. Ms. Helen is at least 800 years old. Give the old lady a break.

Yes I totally agree with you. Ari is adept at handling some really obnoxious questions from some really obnoxious reporters. I must confess, I love Ari too.

I believe Helen Thomas is of Lebonese extraction. Perhaps she has another agenda.
