Even Big Lib Helen Thomas (2nd half) pipes in:

"The point is the control from here. We have never had that in the White House. And we have had some control but not this control. I mean I'm amazed, I'm amazed at you people who call for openness ... Could this be the beginning of the end of the slobbering love affair with the press?

Don’t get your hopes up. They’ll ask a few tough questions every few months to look objective. But at the end of the day, they’ll all jump in the same jacuzzi.

Rush aired the audio of this and it was wonderful to hear. First time I ever thought anything good of Helen Thomas. Rush described the exchanges between what passes for reporters these days and Gibbs as “icy”.

Has there been a follow-up today? Gibbs kept saying “come back with your questions tomorrow..” or something like it.

I wanna see them at him again!

I hope that is not the case. I hope the MSM gets it.

I hope they give Gibbs (he did NOT bow to the Saudi Prince, I don’t care what you think you saw) and Obama (I won) the same grief that they did Bush.

I know, I know...this is probably just hoping for change.

(But it did bring a smile listening to Hell-en giving Gibbs...)

Could this be the beginning of the end of the slobbering love affair with the press?

If I had a dollar for every time I heard this I'd be a millionaire.

But when the chip are down for the 0ne the media will rally around him. Always. Every time and forever.

Take it to the bank.

I’ve seen a commercial twice lately that claims to honor Obama. Since the product is a Chia Obama, I can’t decide whether they’re serious.

Title should read; “Helen Thomas’ fifteen minutes of sanity”.
