Maybe someone can help, there used to be a chow on CNBC called the Wall Street Journal report or something along those lines, it was a great show but it hasnt been on in a month or so. Does anyone know if it was cancelled?

so will Ari now snub her too.,..that would be too dang funny

Wouldn't it be, though? I really admire Ari - talk about having the patience of a saint. There's no way I could do his job; it would take exactly one snide, stupid Helen Thomas question before I started thinking about what a good suppository the podium microphone would make.

Ms. Thomas,

I was deeply saddened to witness your inconsiderate behavior during President G.W. Bush's first press conference. In the Clinton administration, interrupting the President and interjecting with your own rebuttal, before he had even finished his thought, may have been standard on your part. However, as a citizen, I implore you to reconsider your position. He is your leader, too. And his Office, not to mention the man himself, commands respect. Your political feelings on the issue are not relevant. Remember this, and I know he will treat you with the same respect that you treat him.

Sincerely,
XXXXXXXXXXX

sorry my political feelings are relevant to me as a citizen and they should be to you if you can about freedome-helen

Well, now she has one less thing to harp at Ari about - she is always complaining and counting the days since the last Presidential Press Conference. Well, he had one and he ignored her....her question tomorrow will be "why"????

Yes, it was cancelled, and you're right - it was a great show.

[ETERNAL WARMING]

This snub has been long overdue. I'd have done it after the first insult by this troll.

[CFC__VRWC]

Man, it's 1:30 AM here, way past my bedtime, a situation that I'm just fixing to remedy, and you had to post the Old Bat's pic. Thanks - there goes tonight's sleep!

She writes as if she has mental illness. Better she be excluded entirely.

What a heartwarming article. I mean that with complete sincerity. :oD

Seems you've been around FR since '99. Too bad you have not learned squat.

Just stay chilled in Boston, take your meds and have a drink.

[swheats]

Kicked to the curve. Bush is a patient man, but when he acts, it is decisive.

[SevenofNine]

Senor Sock that one that drive E hosts all crazy stuff I REMEMBER THAT that is really old school

[swheats]

[doug from upland]

I wondered if she were even in the room. This is great news for the little troll.

[E=MC²]

Glad to see this! I was wondering if the old hag was even there tonight since her ugly mug was not visible at anytime that I saw.
