I met reporter Helen Thomas at an airport this week. Very cool lady.
I saw her at an airport gate in Oakland this week and just had to stop and chat a few minutes with her, mostly eye-rolling commiseration about W.'s religious war and the plight of the First Amendment. I carry a small copy of the US Constitution when I travel and I asked her to sign it for me. It was really inspiring to meet a journalist who's been discomfiting the comfortable for so many decades. She was a very sweet and approachable lady.

3. She is very nice
I emailed her once and she sent a personal reply, directly relating to the issues I spoke about. The only other journalist I know that has done that Is Bill Press and Aaron Brown.

The Old or the New (aka...the Ashcroft version)?

12. This is why the alert
button was invented.

I've hit alert, and this is only the second time in over a year on DU I've done it.

9. Long may Helen Thomas live!
She is a true voice of sanity and a role model. I hope she realizes how many fans she's acquiring as she stands up to the junta.

10. Boy, that Bersa is something else, huh?
Typical freeper. They grovel like jonesing heroin addicts at the altar of the Second Amendment, all the while conveniently forgetting every other amendment in the Bill of Rights. God Bless Helen Thomas, and God help gun-worshipping freepers. Gun-worship is the same as pagan idolatry, which I understand God isn't too crazy about.
