TVNewser has learned CNN White House correspondent and White House Correspondents Association officer Ed Henry will vote for Fox News to take over the front row White House briefing room seat vacated earlier this week with the abrupt resignation of Helen Thomas.

Hang on ... do they mean the front row itself, everyone shifts a bit and FOX finally gets its due or are they saying that whatever FOX newsie (Garrett right now) will get the front row center spot that Thomas wallowed in simply because she was the oldest hag of the bunch, courtesy?? Seriously?? FOX could be right in the press secretary's mug day in and day out??

[Obadiah]

Will the FOX reporter get hazardous duty pay for having to sit in the front row and stare up Gibb’s nostrils?

[MozarkDawg]

Why is it such a big deal to be in the front row?

Status, pure and simple. Thomas had that particular seat because she was the longest-serving WH newsie on the premises.

[jiggyboy]

Oh well. I was hoping for at least one briefing where the hag was back in her old seat and everybody around her was squirming to make some distance, like she ripped a nasty one.

[Blennos]

Thank you. You gave me one of today’s few chuckles.

I’d demand a new chair... lord knows how many depends Helen may have wet through over the years.

[maddog55]

Yep.. MM is pretty hot and smart as hell.

Do you work for Reuters or something? You cropped ME out of that pic?

[Carl LaFong]

It’ll probably be Obama drooler Shepard (Maybelline) Smith.

[Redleg Duke]

I’m torn...I don’t know what should be done first, fumigation or an exorcism.

[seoul62]

Mark Steyn for the vacated seat.

[Rappini]

The Messiah will not let that happen as it stands now Major is in the second row I think.

[highlander_UW]

I saw it suggested to give it to Breitbart.
