A long-running Washington tradition apparently ended last night when, for the first time in memory, the doyenne of the White House press corps was not called on in a presidential press conference.
Syndicated columnist Helen Thomas, who has covered every president since John F. Kennedy, was relegated to the third row in last night's East Room event and

It's about time that HAG didn't get a question. She's not a reporter any more. He's a partisan hack - the questions should go to the reporters.
And I thougt it was good that among the very first questioners was Jim Angle - FoxNews - even got in before the network pukes, and the CNN weenie.

She ought to know by now (at her age) that if you're rude, people will tend not to like you. Tough bananas, Helen, payback's a b*tch just like you!

I was quite happy to notice that this evening. Happy not to see or hear the hag.

That old hag.... glad she was consigned to a less visible spot.. and SNUBBED!! She deserves the worst treatment of all the media whores!!
To: kattracks
Uh, just because the old hag has been there a long time why does she get to ask questions? A snub? What about "fairness" for the rest of press corps?

Excellent. I thought she just wasn't there. After her outrageous question to Fleischer the other day, I thought, "They just need to exclude her. She's done."

Do you think that she knows how to use a computer? Does she have an email address?

lol ... I used the term "old hag" and in the same time I was writing there were others using the same term.
And yes, I noticed Jim Angle got an early question in ... interesting, and smart IMHO, as Jim Angle asks good Qs. Helps them both look sensible.

Bush should snub them until he leaves office or they develop some respect for the presidency. They're going to write about him negatively regardless of whether he calls on them or not, so might as well tell them to stick it. It's about time someone put that witch Thomas in her place. To hell with press conference tradition.

I also liked the fact that "Alice" from the WSJ got to ask a question.
