typical liberal thinking-blame the US for the Muslim terrorists who are the ones bombing civilians

“MS. PERINO: Helen, I find it really unfortunate that you use your front row position, bestowed upon you by your colleagues, to make such statements. This is a — it is an honor and a privilege to be in the briefing room, and to suggest that we, at the United States, are killing innocent people is just absurd and very offensive.”

awesome!

[Doctor Raoul]

Why doesn’t Helem just march in with a Hamas flag?

[pgkdan]

Somebody needs to kick that old sow in the ass. Rhetorically. of course.

[Old Sarge]

Being in that room is not a Constitutional right - it’s a Presidentially-granted privilege.

Why can’t privileges be revoked, like any unruly child?

[Lexinom]

Q Oh, regret. It doesn’t bring back a life.

Helen Thomas supports abortion. She has no moral leg to stand on for this.

Helen, I find it really unfortunate that you use your front row position, bestowed upon you by your colleagues, to make such statements.

Better put some ice on that............

[PubliusMM]

Front row seat or not...this is patently offensive. If Ms. Thomas is a reporter, then she needs to leave her politics at the door. If she chooses to be a commentator, then she should turn in her press credentials and retire to the Hamptons to pontificate on whatever her heart desires.

Kudos to Ms. Perino

[caisson71]

Helen the Hun is a broken record, a scratchy 78 at that.

[navyguy]

The White House press room is for reporters. Helen Thomas is an activist, not a reporter. She should have been banned years ago but Bush doesn’t have the nards for it.

[Freee-dame]

Dana Perino is terrific. I hope she stays until the end of Pres.Bush’s term.

[trimom]

Twas Beauty killed the Beast.

[nuconvert]

[bubbacluck]

Please, no pictures. You know what I’m talkin’ about.

[OldEagle]

THERE ARE RULES!!!

[dadgum]

Agreed.

[RDTF]

we’ve been lucky so far! lol

Somebody needs to kick that old sow in the ass. Rhetorically. of course.

Yeah. And it would be so easy: "What part of 'Constitutional, Representative Republic' don't you understand, Helen? Didn't you ever take 7th grade civics?!? Or are you just so f*&$ing senile that you can't remember? The "will" of the American people is determined by a Constitutionally-mandated schedule, Helen. Not the Gallup organization: 2 years for Representatives, 6 years for Senators and 4 years for the President. Or do you think that the President should govern according to whatever the CNN poll says this week? No, wait, don't answer that ... I think we all know the answer. By the way, the WH Press staff has left a case of Depends in your cubicle: it smells like you need some."

[Wally_Kalbacken]

Her WH press pass needs to be withdrawn quietly and finally.
