At a press briefing, the wizard of the Washington press corps, Helen Thomas, noted that Spain was holding some suspected terrorists in jail, then asked Ari Fleischer if President Bush was going to invade Spain!

It's a stupid question, to say the least.

Fleischer was cordial in his reply. But, what if she had asked Rummie, or a Freeper?

How would you have answered? What would Rummie have said?

KaBoom! KaBlam!

I'd borrow from Stone Cold Steve Austin.

"Whaaaat? Whaaat? Helen asks again. Whaaat? You're Pathetic! Whaaaaat? I said, you're Pathetic!"

"If anyone thinks thats the stupidist question you've in your life, gimme a Hell Yeah!"

Helen, you may want to check with your doctor about the medications you are taking.

[Revolting cat!]

Good ole Helen. I hope she lives forever (or is that a done deal already, given the clearly visible evidence?) and remains the poster girl for American "journalism".

[Dan from Michigan]

Austin for Press Secretary? Read post 22. I think he'd be perfect for the media.

Nurse, it's time for Helen's meds again...

"How would you have answered? What would Rummie have said?"

"Why does a senile old bat like you still have a press pass?! Do they keep propping you up in your chair to ask questions because you're in a 'Dead Pool' and somebody has money on you outlasting another Presidential term?"

[gortklattu]

Helen, before I answer that, please tell me who is the leader of Sumatra?
Who is the leader of Andorra?
Who is the leader of the Isles of Langerhans?

[Mat_Helm]

Does anyone else have an intelligent question!

[SEA]

"Helen, we aren't really going to invade Spain, we are just going to liberate a few cases of Sandeman Port and then come right back.

[Bullish]

We hear the media is harbouring anti-American communists.
Shall we invade the media, Helen?

[classygreeneyedblonde]

LOLOLOLOLOL

, then asked Ari Fleischer if President Bush was going to invade Spain!

My reply, "No we are not going to invade Spain, and I want to congratulate Helen for capping her career with that question. This carefully thought out question will be the last question Helen will ever ask in the White House."

[Chairman Fred]

"No, Helen, but I have a fine cask of Amontillado in the cellar that I know you will enjoy..."

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

Helen, as I have said many times before, I don't give out operational plans. It's no way to conduct a war. You will have to wait and see what we do.

[Don Myers]

Someone needs to point out to this woman that this is the War On Terrorism and not the Spanish-American War. I think she is a little lost.

"I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition!"

d.o.l.

[gortklattu]

I can't believe I didn't think of that one! Beautiful!

Fat, drunk and stupid's no way to go through life Helen.
