WhoooHooo, I think this is Obama’s jump the shark moment, and he isn’t even there! Once Helen gets disgusted, the cracks in the damn are already spewing water!

In case this hasn't been brought up yet.

The real story behind this story is that a outsider of the White House press corps was given question(s) to ask the night before. These WH Press lackeys aren't mad because this was staged, it was because an interloper, and they were miffed by being left out.

I won’t be a bit surprised if Helen joins the ranks of the Grim Reaper’s celebrity collection very soon.

I have said the press are whores. They see now a weak and deceptive administration that is now openly mocking them.

I guess the rule of three will depend on whether you consider Billy Mays to be a “celebrity”.

LOL. Perfect.

Instead of a horse’s head, Rahm will probably just send two dead fish. One for Chip and one for Helen.

Helen will be, at long last, finally and permanently retired and/or given the seat in the back of the room.

Helen Thomas is just mad that she didn’t get to do her own Obama love-fest exclusively.

Ahhh, the old "hell hath no fury like a big ol' toad scorned" bit? heheh

And that Gibbs tool was laughing the whole time Reid and Helen Thomas were questioning him about the plants at the town hall meeting. He’s sickening.
