Giving what the late Tony Snow marvelously referred to as "The Hezbollah View," Thomas challenged the man at the podium, "How about the Palestinian security?"

Helen should be the test case for Obama care.
Maybe he's really the love child of Thomas and Malcom X (who was only 5 years younger than her).

Surprise, you're a Nazi!
Ughhh.... How could anyone eat cake while in the same room as Helen Thomas?? That’s a recipe for Projectile CAKE vomit!!! When Palestinians aren’t dancing in the streets after a terrorist attack like 9/11 I will be concerned with their security.................
Sorta reminds me of that first Ferengi encounter on Star Trek.
"Your alien images again shock us."
