Helen Thomas must think it's her press conference.

Like the jurists who think they're legislators, Helen is a reporter who thinks she's a newsmaker.

You're all focusing on what Helen Thoma did, which was admittedly astounding. Imagine all the leading hostile questions teh left wing press hurls at those conferences and then they will attack another reporter for daring to have a "conservative" premise in a question.

But, uh, the White House reaction was zero. Totally anemic, forced by a question. As the reporter brought up, this smarmy Wilson did months of damage with his lies and now the White House is doing nothing to right the wrongs.

If Joe Wilson were a republican the dems would have 55% of Americans HATING him as a villain right now, and blaming all republicans and every reporter who gave Wilson a platform.
