Drudge has a link to the Compost where they were complaining that she'd been ignored last night. Some other maggot lefty too.

Ha!

[FryingPan101]

I wonder if we dare dream she's a thing of the past.

[Vicki]

It was a relief not to see or hear her. I'm glad the WH didn't call on her or give her a seat in the front row. She's as irritating as a fruit fly around a glass of wine.

[SamAdams76]

Just out of curiosity, how does the president call upon reporters in a press conference? Is it done at random or is there supposed to be some kind of pecking order? I saw what must have been 100 reporters at that press conference last night. To call upon every one of them would have taken all night. With that in mind, why are certain reporters (like this Helen character) offended when they are not called upon every single time?

[mabelkitty]

Actually, she retired and shouldn't even be there any more. It's like asking Ann Landers to come and squawk to the President.

She is irrelevant, and I hope she gets it now.

Last night a friend told me that Helen Thomas is the late Danny Thomas' sister. Is there any truth to that statement?

In any case, I was glad that we did not have to endure a question from her last night.

The other Helen Degenerate.

[PLOM...NOT!]

I'm sorry, but these people are/were not reporters, not journalists...they are AGENDISTS, pure and simple.

I took a journalism class in high school and it was just the facts ma'am. Who, what, when, where, why and how.

[jriemer]

Ari should be pulling in Hazardous Duty pay for dealing with Helen Thomas et. al. while keeping his composure and style. Going into the the noon White House daily press briefing is like walking into a nest of vipers.

Letter I sent to the WH on the 4TH:

Dear Mr. President,

Whatever Mr. Fleischer is paid, given that he must put up with Helen Thomas, it is not enough!

God Bless,

X XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX

XXXXX XXXX, Texas

My guess is that Helen's alarm clock malfunctioned, and she overslept under her bridge. If no one in a White House press conference ever calls on Helen again, the world will be a better place for that.

It used to be that she was good for comic relief, but the joke's gotten thin. Now she's good for nothing. Best to just ignore her, like a f*rt in an elevator.

Latest column, now up on UPI, and FR, "Truth, the First Casualty?"

Latest book(let), "to Restore Trust in America."

It's about time the Bush administration stands up to her. She has made outrageous, biased, mean spirited statements and tried to pass them off as reporting. President Bush does NOT have to put up with personal attacks, slurs, and insults from the supposedly "unbiased" reporters. I hope he NEVER calls on her again. It would serve her right.

"Has the president decided that he's beaten his wife enough or will he continue to beat her while the economy tanks?"

[ladyinred]

Where was she? I heard she had her knee pads attached and was hanging out with her new star of TV, Bubba, the most handsome man in the world, in her words.

[timydnuc]

I think that the far left that dominates the democRAT party has let the old fart go.

She's totally lost it and she pukes bile and venom everytime she talks to the press or the President or Ari. She has gone completely psycotic, and the left knows it. Notice, that when a "fellow traveler" goes off the deep end the left abandons them, quickly and hard. Helen will be retiring very soon, mark my words. Hillary will give her an interview every year, but that will be it for Helen.

Helen has gone too far, and the left knows it. They will not fight for the old fossel because it wouldn't look good. She is being slowly let out to pasture.

I would be willing to bet that this was ordered by McAwful and the Clintons. Helen is no longer of use because Helen is distasteful to about 80% of Americans. She is not credible, and she is fast becoming a disgrace to the left. She'll be given a small pention and 50 cats to take care of, but the left doesn't want her out of her apartment writing prose.

To me, I could care less what happens to her. I'm a conservative, all she ever did for me was to push me to research her lies, and I found the truth. Well Helen, thanks for that. Now go to your apartment and re-read all the columns you ever wrote and feed those damn cats.

Doctor appointment

Her proctoligist called they found her brain

just a joke i hope shes ok dont like her but hope shes ok

[sport]

She probably had a hangover.

[floriduh voter]

Helen dyed her hair dark brown and she's harder to spot now, especially when they don't call on her. I wouldn't call on her either - annoying and wrong 100% of the time.

[John Lenin]

Helen wast't there today ?
I'm verklempt !
