Actually, though I don't get to see the press briefings everyday, the ones I have seen I've loved the way Ari handles her. He is just great in "one upping" her if you will. I have seen him pre-empt her in anticipation and also seen him give an answer to her question with "and what do YOU think Helen?" tacked on the end of his answer. She'd reply of course, and he would say, "That's what I figured you thought" or something to that effect! Once I even heard him start out his answer with, "I know you don't agree with the President Helen, but this is what he believes in this case...." It's obvious that Ari's had her number from the getgo and has had no problems letting the rest of the world see her for who or what she is in his interaction with her!
