Helen Thomas just asked Ari in the press briefing " So the Bush Administration is willing to go in and kill thousands of people for the sake of democracy?"

Who the hell still has the nerve to give her access to the White House let alone America? The only thing I want to read in a newspaper about her is her obituary.

I read somewhere that Helen Thomas is Arab-American!

Here is exactly what Helen Thomas said today:

Helen.

Q Why is a family grudge included in the official paper that states our position on war and peace?

MR. FLEISCHER: Helen, if you're referring to an attempt to assassinate a former United States President, which Iraq tried to do when former President Bush went to Kuwait --

Q Does that justify killing thousands of people in Iraq?

MR. FLEISCHER: Helen, I think it's also why former President Clinton responded to that assassination attempt with four days of Cruise missile strikes against Iraq, because an attempt to assassinate a former United States President --

Q So this is a repetition to try again, for that reason?

MR. FLEISCHER: I think the President cited multiple reasons why Saddam Hussein is a menace and a threat.

Q But you people are acting like this is a conversion to democracy by the sword. How can you -- I mean, are you going to kill all these people, to get democracy?

MR. FLEISCHER: Helen, I think that when you heard the powerful statements that were made by Democrats and Republicans alike, some of the most thoughtful and reflective members of the Congress, what you are about to see is going to be a very healthy and important congressional debate that underscores how reluctant democracies are to go to war, about how determined we are as a people and a united Congress to protect the American people from the threats that Saddam Hussein presents.

Helen's exchange and spew is now posted on this thread with Ari.

Why doesn't the White House just disinvite her, if she is going to ask these type of incindiary questions

[Cate]

oh yuck, where was she planning on putting Bubba's cigar?
I think it would have to compete with a lot of moth balls.

[GHOST WRITER]

Well, we both admire Ayn Rand.

[Fledermaus]

I'm sure the Democrats (her buddies) are willing to kill thousands in New Jersey to keep the Senate seat! They've already broke the law...what's a few thousand dead Republican voters?

Sub-human quacks!

[Fledermaus]

Yes, it was reported...WND and Farah won and got their Senate press pass. Do the House and Senate give out separate credentials? Or is this a Congress press pass?

Anyway, they got the one they were fighting for.

I don't know why you can't find it on the WND site under a search...I clearly remember the articles.

Helen Thomas?

Isn't that fossil back in the ground from whence "she" came, yet?

That old, ugly-stick masochist should have been forcibly retired lonnnnng ago.

[fabriclady]

Helen Thomas looks like a rabid old witch.
She makes a fool of herself everytime she opens that big red mouth.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Ari's reply: "Yes, beginning with the White House press corps".

[Utah Girl]

Helen Thomas is of Lebanese descent and is anti-Semetic.

[Utah Girl]

Thanks. I posted the press briefing earlier today, and when I read this exchange, I just rolled my eyes. Yeah, people can't die for democracy, but Hussein can torture and kill thousands for his own ends. Helen makes me ill.

[I_Love_My_Husband]

Thanks for the info !

[Utah Girl]

It puts her remarks into context, well, kind of.

[I_Love_My_Husband]

Do you know what her *real* name is?

[My Favorite Headache]

Blows my mind. They need to revoke her pass and access immediately.

[Deb]

I think she said "So, you people...blah blah blah".

Every question she asked (spit at) Ari started with "So, you people..."

I don't know how he stays so calm.
