Speaking of that idiot Helen Thomas, did you hear her absolutely asinine questions today about the US invading Spain? Ari Fleischer got totally contentious with her after her stupid question.

Q Does the President feel the United States has the right to bomb or invade any country harboring terrorists? Is he going to invade Spain?

MR. FLEISCHER: Helen, the President, as I mentioned, is focused on phase one --

Q Eight suspected terrorists --

MR. FLEISCHER: The President is focused on phase one of the war against terrorism. But the President has made it plain to the American people that this a long-term war.

Q Answer the question. What right do we have to invade any country?

MR. FLEISCHER: I'm not aware that we are invading Spain.

Helen is getting down right nasty...."answer the question". I mean, gish, her questions are so stupid and so designed to demean, why bother. Wish Ari would simply come out with it and tell her attempt some respect or get her fat ol arse out of the seat and let someone with genuine questions take over.

Thanks for the post. The question was even more ignorant than I imagined !! What publication does this moron write for ??

Great questions. Fleischer dodged. Couldn't answer a legitimate question.

Helen Thomas asked the following question at a news conference: Does the President feel the United States has the right to bomb or invade any country harboring terrorists? Is he going to invade Spain?

How utterly liberal of her. One thing you see more and more of these days is the press using questions to make a politcal statement. Helen Thomas is not a journalist, but simple a transparent liberal leftwing hack. She should have had her press pass pulled years ago.
