Well, I have no smarty pants comments about Helen today; she earned her paycheck. The WH press corp will never wake up to the fact that kissing Obama’s rear end is a smelly thing, but could it be they’ll tire of Mr. “I know nothing” Gibbs?

Obama and Gibbs will soon realize: It's not nice to try and fool Mother Thomas - or keep her or others in the Press Corps out of the mix. Obama, Gibbs and Rahm might have a modicum of success at first with their goal to control the Press...but it will wear thin and then they will have to watch out.
I keep repeating the saying, "The bigger they are, the harder they fall." Anyone who is so narcissistic as to want to control everything will soon fail. And Obama will fail very badly and very publicly , it is just a matter of time.

OK, I just gotta’ ask: what happened to Helen Thomas? She actually questioned the veracity of the White House screening and pre-selecting questions that zero will answer in his faux “town hall meeting”. Moment of lucidity, or does she think Bush is still the prez?

I wouldn’t give Ms. Thomas too much credit. The only reason she’s playing offense in this game is because the romance is over, the press is feeling used, and Helen Thomas isn’t getting what she wants.
Welcome to the club, Helen.
To: RobinMasters
Hopefully this will give the others in the Press the er, er, spine to start asking questions about this administration.
To: RobinMasters
Okay, who is she and what has she done with Helen Thomas? Call the FBI. If it is Helen Thomas, call an ambulance, the poor woman has suffered a stroke. Without proper medical attention, she could suffer irrevocable brain damage. Two choices: Helen Thomas has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom or she has had a stroke, an aneurysm burst or a brain tumor.
To: RobinMasters
The questions have to be pre-selected. Otherwise the teleprompter won’t have the answers...

Don’t forget: he is also very convincing when he looks confused, babbles incoherently, and mumbles. The guy is talented (or MAYBE he really is that way...)

I doubt very seriously that he’s acting. He enjoys his perks of the job and will not deviate from the scripted message one iota. The press be damned. They asked for “change”.................

I think Helen Thomas is a died-in-the-wool liberal, but I think she is first and foremost a journalist, and the good ones are very protective of their constitutional protection. This tide could turn if they keep playing this ridiculous game.
Also, didn't anyone else find it funny that Gibbs never 'admitted' to understanding the problem? He kept telling them to wait until you hear the questions to decide if they're fair. Chip and HT both tried to point out that wasn't the point--that it was the orchestration of it that made it wrong. He fumbles around, fumbles around, and never really gets it. What a tool.

Wow. Wonder if Thomas will still have “house slave” status at the next TOTUS press conference?

He also had that high pitched mocking laugh and no one in the room was laughing with him. He never answered one question. He just kept talking over them like well trained libs do.
To: RobinMasters
Helen Thomas and Chip Reid nailed the White House mouthpiece to the wall, for over 3 minutes. I sat in awe. Perhaps America isn’t done yet......
