So taking notes during the national anthem is okay?

That's what she seems to be implying here.

She was taking notes on the lyrics, not having heard them before. After all, the syntax is a bit convoluted.

helena is a disrespectful idiot but apparently doesn’t realize it. I bet she was an affirmative-action hire.

Heck, 0bie has probably already made this lady a job offer somewhere within the admin.

Her twitter profile/description says it all. She’ll fit right in and advance his “America isn’t exceptional” agenda further than even he could dream to.

Meet your new Reliable Source

Helena’s no stranger to covering Washington’s glitziest denizens, either, having grilled folks on many a red carpet during her stint at Politico. She’s also freelanced for the Root and written a book about her D.C. adventures.


Woo hoo! Helena kicks off her 15 hours of FAME, at last night’s WHCD!

"She writes for 'The Fix' "

"The Fix"?

Is that a new sitcom starring Bill and Hill Clintoon?

He seems to be impatient for the anthem to end.

No hand over his heart certainly not singing along.

But at least he isn’t texting!

Hi lovely lady.

You got T-storms?

I thought "The Fix" was a docu-drama staring McConnell, Boner and 0bama.

“She was taking notes on the lyrics...”

She was translating with her Ebonics app.
