Or, she's the press with a troll pass.

Dear Helen,

I am one of those political junkies that follows the news around and therefore must rely on reporters, like yourself, to supply me with the information I need to formulate my opinion regarding current events.

I would just like to say that some of your recent Q&A's with the Press Secretary shows that you have lost any credible impartiality in reporting the news. During the Clinton Administration I never heard you so venomously attack the Press Secretary. What happened? Maybe it's time you think about retirement? You've got a beautiful relative in my area, Suzanne Geha, that will do a more than adequate job filling your shoes.

Here is my e-mail to her. I tried to post this earlier, but AT&T Broadband had technical problems:

Dear Miss Thomas:

It would be nice if you weren't so "snippy" in the press conferences at the White House (to use your good friend algore's expression). Your contempt for President Bush is obvious when you do that. Here is what I'm talking about:

---

After Fleischer told a reporter that Walker "is considered, under the Geneva Convention regarding the treatment of prisoners of war, a battlefield detainee," Thomas demanded: "My question falls in line with that. Are we so primitive that we would ship this man in a box, deny him legal rights, deny him the right to see a lawyer, deny him the right to see his parents? I mean, is that America?"
Fleischer tried to calm down the long-time UPI reporter: "Helen, under the Geneva Convention regarding treatment of prisoners of war, the military and intelligence agencies may question prisoners for information that's of military value in the conduct of war without the presence of a lawyer. That is what the Geneva Convention calls for-"
Thomas piped up: "You ship him in a box?"
Fleischer: "-and the Geneva Convention is being followed in this case."
Moran demanded: "So it trumps his constitutional right to-"
Fleischer: "No, this is done consistent with the Constitution."
Moran: "How so?"
Fleischer: "Because what you're referring to, Terry, deals with custodial interrogation-"
Moran: "Right."
Fleischer: "-and that only comes into play, that only comes in as a matter of statute when he is in the custody of law enforcement personnel. He is covered under the Geneva Convention by military personnel, which triggers a different set of statutory requirements."
Thomas, obsessed with parental access: "He can't see his parents? He's not allowed to see his parents?"
Fleischer: "Again, Helen, I think that they are moving forward with a review of the facts in this matter. But he is being treated under the Geneva Convention. He is being protected. He has been given medical care which he was not receiving under the Taliban. And he has received the protection of the United States Armed Forces in a very dangerous battlefield condition."
Thomas charged: "He's being interrogated without a lawyer. Is that fair?"
Fleischer pointed out: "He is being given all his rights, which are far more than the rights the Taliban or the al-Qaeda extended to anybody living there."
Thomas sighed: "Well, we're not comparing ourselves, are we?"

I doubt that I'll get a response, and I certainly don't look for her to register and comment on her behavior, but I had to invite her anyway. We'll see what happens! Here's the easy link to that article, btw:

[Republicus2001]

Recent events have caused many people to look at the liberal leftists "media" types like you in a different light.

Yes, the Big Lie Industry has been finally revealed

[GussiedUp]

LOL I did and told her to take her meds BEFORE a press conference so she wouldn't ask all those dumb questions...she responded by telling me to "get a life - if I could find one" HA HA

[Wrigley]

I didn't know Suzanne Geha was a troll. Puts many things in perspective.

Helen needs to do what I did long ago!!!!!!!

[shortstop]

Here's my e-mail to the troll under the bridge:

Helen:

Your continually biased remarks in the tenuous form of questions to the Presidential News Secretary, Ari Fleisher, are causing you to be a continual target of ridicule by your colleagues and by your very few readers in the Hearst newspapers. I just want to say, "keep it up, Helen. You are showing all of America the true negative liberal bias of the left wing media." Bernard Goldberg has exposed you liberal presstitutes for what you are. America is coming to her senses and making reporters like you less relevant every day. Thank goodness.

I can't bring myself to pound on an old woman who is obviously losing it.

Now, dashole, leahy, gephardt, condit, clinton, boxer, et al. ...That's a whole different deal.

[MeekOneGOP]

Well, at least we know she will read this threa. Hi Hellion!

LOL! Actually, that link in my post is to another article that dealt with the scenario that this post addresses. I wouldn't look for her to go beyond reading my e-mail, if she even does that. I hope she does, though. . .

Look at Suzanne's face, add 20 pounds and wrinkles..voila'!

Here's my e-mail to the troll under the bridge. . .

LMAO! Good job, I love it. Check mine out on post #25. Thanks!

[PISANO]

Many months ago I emailed her about her obvious fawning over then POTUS BC. Her response was VERBATIM the email you received. Maybe she just thinks everyone who takes the time to email her doesn't have a life beyond contacting her. She sure doesn't seem to want President Bush to "just live his life" without her sour graping comments. She is a hypocrite gimmiecrap if ever there was one.

[MeekOneGOP]

Thank you BUMP!

The truth is irrefutable and cannot be taken back: while Clinton undermined our very Constitution, Helen Thomas sat on her hands.

Helen was never happier than when her dreamboat was king of the world.
