You have a HT ping list? You're one sick puppy!

LOL. Thomas really hates Obama since he tried to silence the DC press corp.

I consider it to be a public service. :-)

You know, even scrolling that picture across my monitor left streaky scars.

Helen's memory of Vietnam is as selective as that of any liberal's who insists he understood everything about the war but was never there. The war wasn't lost until the troops departed, dear. Remember?

More troops is also reminiscent of...let's see, what was that other country in the Middle East? Began with an "I" if I remember correctly. Helen doesn't, because we won that one. Which is why Vietnam came up instead of it.

Help! I’m blocked at work. Can someone please post an antidote?

[seanmerc]

As Tony Snow would say, ‘thanks for the Hezbollah point of view, Helen.’

The command in Vietnam had been giving him rosy reports about U.S. military progress that he wanted to believe.

Complete bullshit, 100% historical revisionism. Johnson's perfumed princes who never left DC/VA/MD/NY were busy playing Risk at the WH, ignored input from the ground, and held both good and bad news from Vietnam in low esteem. They did not react to reports from anyone with dirty boots, but they reacted strongly to reports from the media (almost all of it bad - especially bad was the coverage of near-successful operations, prompting their cancellation).

Johnson was not interested in winning or losing the war - he and his inner circle wanted to perpetuate it for as long as politically viable for the benefit of certain contractors, as well as to assist in his war on poverty by using part of the pesky undertrained "underclass" to absorb shrapnel. Political interference, political incompetence, media criminality, and political criminality rendered the war in Vietnam a total waste of American life and money. Johnson, McNamara, and the rest are roasting in hell.

Why is the old hag trying to protect the legacy of that butcher? Because of his Great Society expansion of the fascist New Deal? Reflexive action to protect a (D)?

Here ya go.. *grins*

IS THIS, ENOUGH EYE WASH?

[seanmerc]

Now THAT’S FUNNY!

Helen had better be quiet or 0b0z0 will send Jack Kevorkian, his choice of MD to run health care for those of us over the age of 60, to make a house call on Helen.

Here's a classic I stole...

Seanmerc: What issue of GQ magazine were you featured in? To all you posters who are horrified by Helen Thomas’ picture-post yours for critique

[LearsFool]

Why do the Helen Thomas posts always seem to show up around lunchtime?

Sheesh! There oughtta be a law!

[skinkinthegrass]

The left has never understood the reasoning behind
fighting the war in Iraq vs. Afghanistan.

short/quick/honest answer:
Tell them; Its' a "Buglight"...STUPID! *ZAP / ZOT*
...better there, than here.

>>President Barack Obama, a neophyte

Now she tells us.

[seanmerc]

It’s a deliberate, sinister plan! :-)
