How many articles from 1997 or 1998 referred to Clinton as a "lame duck"?
At this point in his Presidency, Clinton was on the verge of impeachment.
Bush gets it, the media doesn't....
I've been promoting a Cheney/Rice ticket in 2008 for some time now...
as far as Helen Thomas goes, can you say "irrelevant" LOL
Since when did an entire 2nd term (won in a relative landslide) become 'lame duck'?
A quick search of her archives should reveal many claims of clintoons 'lame duck' status in his second term (I am certain)
This is the same helen thomas who once (live on TV) said she believed Vince Foster was murdered and that it happened right there in the White House. (Tell us more Helen~! or is that not important?)
Cheney! Cheney! Cheney!
Helen Thomas is a communist agent who doesn't realize that her former controller in now making pizzas in Des Moines.
Ever wonder Helen why your dead drops are no longer emptied you ignorant commie?
Senile old douche bag.
Almost ..... read .... angry .... spew .... but .......decided .. to ... gnaw ... own ........arm ...off ....instead!
I absolutely love non-biased reporting. Thanks for posting this--LOL!/sarcasm
Looks like Helen escaped her keeper again!!!
I just hope Helen can restrain herself from any of those.
Hey Helen, "Cheney just declared for '08!"
I get so irritated at the new "definition" of lame duck. A lame duck office holder isn't a guy that can't run anymore, a lame duck is a guy whose replacement has already been picked (either because he termed out or he lost re-election) but who hasn't packed up yet. Bush won't be a lame duck until November of 08, until then he's a president freed from the burden of candidacy.
Translated-
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
The President isn't falling into the trap of believing the media's spun myths about second term Presidencies nor their rigged polls. To top it off he is confidant, persistant on what he wants which is a big part of the reason for success, refuses to bow to Congress about his choice for Ambassador, and continues to force them press to camp out in hot heat, no clubs available and won't talk to them.
In otherwords it's hell on earth for the Press and helen.
Somebody needs to put up the crying baby button.
You gotta post the ape picture on this thread.
President Bush isn't a "Lame Duck." One doesn't become a lame duck until the period between when the next President is elected & when that president takes over.
I'm sure Freepers know this...but the fact the MSM keeps blabbering about it makes me think they're brain-dead.
Helen is good. She can actually sneer with words.
Amazing and repulsive at the same time, she is the epitome of her profession.
