What, and have the Democrats bring in Eleanor Mondale 
to replace Helen Thomas?
No way, man! Helen is the face of the radical Democrats. She not only makes them look bad every time she throws her loaded questions at Ari, but she makes them sound bad, too.
God's keeping her around to remind America just how ugly the Democrats can be, in every sense of the word. She's the perfect juxtaposition for us, as on the one hand you have the shrill old hag and on the other you have the young, kind, patient Ari fielding her rants.
How many little girls are telling their dads that they want to grow up and be like Helen Thomas?! None!
On the other hand, lots of young children want to grow up and be like Ari.
What better positioning could you ask for in such circumstances as press briefings?? 
Do NOT encourage the Democrats to replace Helen Thomas with fresher meat.
