Helen Thomas on Lord Prezzydent Butch: "He's a coward,"
BUSH SNUBS HELEN THOMAS
Thu Jan 26 2006 15:42:32 2006

President Bush today again avoided taking a question from White House doyenne Helen Thomas during his 45-minute press conference, even though he took questions from every reporter around her front-row, center seat.

"He's a coward," Thomas said afterward. "He's supposed to be this macho guy. He'll take on Osama bin Laden, but he won't take me on."
...

"I wanted to ask about Iraq: 'You said you didn't go in for oil or for Israel or for WMDs. so why did you go in?' "

AND:

"You keep saying it's a 1978 law, but the Constitution 200 years old. Is that out of date, too?"

2. Ms Thomas, I adore you, but when did he take on Osama?
She's right: He's a coward.

Heck - tens of millions of Americans think he's a coward Matt.

5. That's because he knows SHE asks all those HARD questions!
He can manage to blow off the other reporters in the room, but Helen's different, and he knows it! SHE won't accept a non-answer and that's all he knows how to give.

There was a thread a couple weeks ago about this... I think it would be awesome to flood her office. Let her know how much we love her! Anyone have her office address?

17. I love Helen
How dare that coward treat Helen the way that he has. It was so obvious that he was avoiding her, but just the fact that she was sitting in the front row has got to be the most unnerving sight for him.

19. Sure Bush Is A Coward
Sure he's a coward. He's been hiding behind his daddy's back pocket, the one with the money and 'phone numbers of his influential cronies in business and the selective service/Texas national guard. Recently he's been hiding behind Laura's skirts, as she has been in front of such matters as defending domestic spying. Of course, he's always been hiding behind Karl Rove and Other's words and ideas. He's so cowardly that he had to have his other daddy, Dick Cheney, go with him to a hearing in the U.S. Senate. He used the Swift Boat veterans to smear John Kerry but kept a far distance from them, not having the guts to lie the way they did. I could go on and on, but what's the point?
