At a screening of a forthcoming HBO documentary honoring liberal journalist Helen Thomas in Washington, she was asked whether most White House reporters are liberal. "Hell, no!" she thundered. I'm dying to find another liberal to open their mouths. Where are they?"
Is this Grande Dame of Journalism serious? The answer is yes. Since Ms. Thomas is dying to find vocal liberals in the news media, the least we can do is point her in the right direction.
Let's see . . .
ABC's Claire Shipman says the taxpayers, not the politicians, should sacrifice to close the budget deficit: "If every American were to pitch in $2,000, we could pay off this year's deficit. . . . Or if we handed over, each of us, 500 gallons of gasoline or, in terms we could all really understand, if every American gave up 666 lattes for a year, we could pay off this year's deficit."
Dan Rather predicts Big Oil will try to manipulate the election for John McCain: "The people who can affect the price of oil would prefer a Republican presidential candidate. Watch the price of oil. If it goes down, which it may very well, it could help John McCain quite a bit."

"or, in terms we could all really understand, if every American gave up 666 lattes for a year, we could pay off this year's deficit." What kind of MSM lib moron imagines that most people drink 666 lattes per year???? And why did she pick the '666' evil number? :^)
If Democrats all gave up their botox, SUVs, private planes, pimp starter castles etc. we could pay off the deficit with the excess wealth constantly being squandered by the Demagogues for their personal "needs".....

To: Enchante
Oh, you said, "pimp starter castles."
To: Kaslin
"But Helen Thomas, the so-called Dean of the White House press corps, doesn't know any liberals in the news media."
She dying to find any liberals..well, there they are.
She should fulfill her obligation now and drop dead!

Blink.....blink... does she really believe that..or is she just saying it because it sounds better than the truth?

if every American gave up 666 lattes for a year, we could pay off this year's deficit.That's devilishly difficult.
To: Enchante

And why did she pick the '666' evil number 666 lattes x $3/latte = $1998, the number she was aiming for. Her presciption is, of course inane. This is what happens when policy prescriptions are whipped up by people who've never taken responsibility for results.

I don’t drink lattes ever. So is someone out there drinking my 666?
To: Kaslin; All
What gives here? A thread with the very name Helen Thomas in the
title and not a single image of her unmistakable visage has yet graced a single post?
I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

Yeah, whoever’s squandering $2K per year on lattes obviously has money to burn and should give it all to ME.

It’s not that they aren’t all liberals too, Thomas... They just don’t want to be linked to you.

this pig-faced hag has long ago lost any possible relevance. She is brainless, clueless and worthless.
She could scare a blind dog of a pork chop too.

Actually, the old bat is, for once, correct--there are no liberals amongst her crowd.
They're full-fledged Communists--liberals are too right wing for that group.
