President Bush today again avoided taking a question from White House doyenne Helen Thomas during his 45-minute press conference, even though he took questions from every reporter around her front-row, center seat.
"He's a coward," Thomas said afterward. "He's supposed to be this macho guy. He'll take on Osama bin Laden, but he won't take me on."
Thomas, who worked as the UPI White House reporter for 57 years and is now a columnist, raised her hand every time the president was concluding an answer to a reporter's question, but he never called on her.

She had a few questions in mind, though. "I wanted to ask about Iraq: 'You said you didn't go in for oil or for Israel or for WMDs. so why did you go in?' "
She also had another question at the ready, just in case, this one about the president's contention that a 28-year-old wiretapping law known as FISA is out of date, which prompted him to order the National Security Agency to conduct a secret electronic surveillance program that Democrats contend is illegal.
"You keep saying it's a 1978 law, but the Constitution 200 years old. Is that out of date, too?"
Afterward, Thomas sat sullenly in her chair in the White House press work area, huddled in her leopard-print winter coat.
But as she left, she made a prediction: "He came on to my turf. I'll bet the next press conference will be in Room 450 of the EEOB," a theater-style room in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, where she would not be in the front row.
Developing...
President Bush can only suffer that village idiot for so long.
"Now that is talent."
(tips hat)
Thankee!
Not completely sure about this but I'd say this young woman's profession involves a brass pole......
Helen Thomas is being snubbed because she is crazy!Just having to look at her face would be enough.
I'll bet when she was young she was so ugly her mom had to tie a porkchop around her neck so the dog would play with her.
Look at the piggie in post 36. It's a hoot.
Besides, I thought she looked much better in Mean Girls, back when she had a little bit of weight on her. I like big butts, and I cannot lie.
Damnitboy!
Typical of MSM libs.... it's all about THEM!
C'mon, there's no way that can be real!
You must be an expert with Photoshop!
Apparently it is not. I believe that I was tricked by a lookalike.

If that picture you posted doesn't earn you a hex, nothing will.
