2. I emailed her from Europe!

Happy wonderful day Helen!

I watch you with pride every press conference and your tenacity for the truth puts a small tear in my eye. You know the one. It's called the truth...

4. I really like her.

Bush should be putting her on a pedestal for her years of steller journalism, but instead, he treats her like yesterday's newspaper.

5. Jeezus!

We only have a few years left with her, and then there will not be any actual journalists left.

God bless you Helen.

6. got a reply from Helen...

in addition to my b-day greeting and best wishes, I added a p.s. asking if she missed Ari. her reply:

thanks, struggling along without him-helent

she really DOES read her email.

I don't know how anybody can be mean to her. she is a sweet elderly sharp as a wip woman.

12. Wrote her...

"A very happy 83rd birthday (wow!), and keep up the fight! You’re not considered too old if you can still scare the bejezzus out of grown men!"
