Today's Ari Fleischer Press Briefing: WHERE WAS HELEN?

The White House | March 7, 2003

[Dont Mention the War]

So several reporters (especially the WorldNetDaily loon, of all people) demanded to know why Queen Helen was not allowed to spew last night, and Ari gave the exact, factual answer: They were looking for REPORTERS last night, not columnists.

But more importantly, Ari himself did not call on The Old Hag today! Was he intentionally snubbing her? Or did she stay home and pout like a little girl instead of coming in to work today?

I was thinking how much different GWB is from his father in dreaming about a New World Order ... See post 192 ...

Hellen Thomas: has been cast as the next craggy troll in the next Harry Potter flick.

She got what she deserved... slapped around and left to slop for scraps like a hog.

Re: "She was at home today drowning her sorrows in a pitcher of Manhattans and a carton of Kents."

More like a Wacky Pack of Virginia Slums cigs.

I could see Ari sitting toward the right in the camera lense and caught a very quick smile

Yes, I saw him and did a 'double-take', wondering if that was him!!

I don't usually listen to Les Kinsolving because he has a habit of "screeching" and he gives me a royal headache. I do know he loves to get under the skin of Ari.

a friend told me that Helen Thomas is the late Danny Thomas' sister

I can see a resemblence in the eyes and nose! If true, what a family circus!! Danny's daughter, Marlo married Phil Donahue. Must be fun when Phil and Helen get together!! LOL

Can anyone tell us if they've ever heard Dubya use the term "New World Order" to describe his future dreams for humanity?

Yes, GW has mentioned " The New World Order"... Off hand I don't have the speech/speeches that he used it in, but I will get back to you with it. It's getting late here about 12:20 A.M..... EST.....

Really, it's about time.

BRAVO to the WH staff.

There was a vein in his forehead as thick as my thumb that was visibly pulsating.

I saw that too, it was scary looking!

That's the funniest reply I've seen tonight!!
