[PleaseSayItAintSo]

1. Bless Helen Thomas.

May she live forever.

[Sam Ervin jret]

2. DANA put a big X across Helen's name again for asking a real question.

Keep after the little piece of fluff Helen, you earned that seat with years of hard work and taking crap.

And we cannot say the same for DANA.

3. Who will 'replace' her when she's no longer around??

That's too sad to think about

[stlsaxman]

4. your question made me fantasize Kieth Olbermann taking her chair...

wouldn't THAT be awesome?!?!?

[bluesmail]

9. or Amy Goodman.

dreaming of course

[Hulk]

5. This woman is an insult to blondes everywhere....

The chimp and his Nazi force couldn't have grabbed onto a more dense, confused and "sweet smile" to put on the podium in front of the press corps. Mind you, they are mostly shills for this pathetic administration, but even those that question their crimes in the open can't penetrate this dim wit's dense smile.

6. Wiretapping six months before 9-11 without fisa notification?

Illegal? Yes.

[jtrockville]

8. Maybe not illegal, depending on who did it.

Some people are exempt from following laws.

[The Wielding Truth]

11. Thank you to whomever hearted me. Smooches to you. n/t

[cynthia]

7. unbelievable

Does Perino think she did a good job of deflecting that question? What a piece of crap she is!

Bless Helen Thomas, I hope she keeps up the good fight for a long while.

[Supersedeas]

12. Bless Helen again

[CGowen]

10. It would fit right in here

Ask Dana Perino

Q: When President Bush says, "This government does not torture," isn't that true only because he got Alberto Gonzales to write a secret memo redefining the meaning of torture?

A: Yes. The Constitution grants the power to redefine words to the unitary executive.

Q: You're making that up. That's not in the Constitution.

A: Yes, it is. It's in a secret Article.

Q: But there's no such thing as a -

A: I see you're not wearing your flag lapel pin.

Q: The President says he vetoed SCHIP because it's big-spending socialized medicine. Does that mean the Republicans who voted for it are big-spending socialists?

A: Answering that would only help the terrorists.

Q: What does terrorism have to do with health care?

A: 9/11 changed everything.

13. DEFINITELY not an answer to the question, in the Protesteth Too Much sense!

Carefully wrought and scripted answer is "telecoms helped save American lives."

So, why can't they tell us more? WOW oh WOW!
Exciting news. Saved lives!
Sure sounds like something to brag about!
CUZ it's PURE BS!!!
