INCOMING!!!

I guess since HT covered the Lincoln White House, she’s qualified to comment on the Civil War.

Cheney made that clear in an intriguing interview with ABC News on his recent Middle East trip. Despite the difficulties surrounding the unprovoked U.S. invasion of Iraq five years ago, Cheney insisted, “It was the right thing to do.”

Unprovoked?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Tell that to President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, who apparently could care less what Americans think

Did she mean to say "couldn't care less"?

This old bat is a writer is she not? Surely she should be able to discern the difference between these two phrases.

Unless she wrote what she meant to convey...but that would be contrary to the title of her hit piece.

Sorry...just a Pet Peeve.

[seanmerc]

P.S. You decide...

"Bush has resumed his claim that it was necessary to rid the world of a tyrant, Saddam Hussein -- a friend of the U.S., incidentally, in earlier times. "

Helen ThomASS must have been "shocked" when "Uncle Joe" Stalin turned against the United States after being our "friend" during WW2?

[N. Theknow]

This old bat is a writer is she not? Surely she should be able to discern the difference between these two phrases.

She probably also thinks that "irregardless" is a word.

[Braak]

I find it ironic she quotes LBJ while taking a shot at W. Uh..hello, pot calling the kettle black alert? LBJ really did mismanage Vietnam. I have yet to hear the level of stupidity that occured in the LBJ WH occur here.

[Ronald_Magnus]

A face that sank a thousand ships.

[seanmerc]

That’s a good one! I’d add “a face made for radio.”

[reagan_fanatic]

Boo!

[HoosierHawk]

She probably also thinks that "irregardless" is a word.

"Irregardless" is my pet peeve. Like nails on a blackboard...

Helen Thomas can be reached hthomas@hearstdc.com

I don't believe Helen can be reached.

[henkster]

Typical arrogant FLW. No, it’s not for our elected leaders to make policy, it’s for the newsies to make policy through biased polling data.

I shudder to think how the world would be different if today’s media existed in 1797.

[MrB]

Couric is going to look like Helen in just a few years, guaranteed.

(I know that’s not couric, but it made me think of the above)

[Ouderkirk]

Tell that to President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, who apparently could care less what Americans think -- except every four years at election time.

Is that not the only time that they are beholdne to the voters. To run their offices on the whim of public opinion from day to day is not what the constitution proscribes.

She is a major league idiot, with absolutely no understanding of the US Constitution

[RightResponse]

Very interesting stuff there, Helen... but really, who are you supporting? B.Hussein Obama or H.Rodham Clinton?! The campaigns really need to know.

[seanmerc]

O.K., that’s gross.

[massgopguy]

“Unprovoked”? We weere at war with Iraq. There was merely a cease fire whose terms Saddam constantly violated.
