A bigoted jerk with protruding teeth.

4. Tony's been masturbating to the thought of doing it for years...
not surprising that when the opportunity actually presented itself that he'd take advantage of it.

5. I loved Helen's comment that democracy isn't achieved with a shotgun.

She is such a smart woman. Tony Snow knows he's met his match with Helen. She won't take any crap, and she's been around long enough to know bull when she sees it.

Wimpy Snow doesn't stand a chance with Helen, and he knows it.

6. Said Kennedy was her Favorite President
And began to speak of all that he accomplished in his short time in office... It was amazing... Her mind is still so sharp....

her standards to be compromised.

9. I remember JFK's press conferences...
The reporters shouted questions at the President & he answered with wit & intelligence. Some of them were hard questions!

Completely unlike the moron now occupying the White House.

14. there's a great idea - it would be wonderful to have a dvd featuring
Helen Thomas, her bio, and past and current examples of her work. Especially now, so young girls can see her in action.

17. Permanent
lasting, or intended to last or function, indefinitely. That is what she means...

There is no other definition to the word according to Oxford Dictionary....

Tony Snow needs to brush up on word definitions... This was not a hard one.....

11. The freepers probably got him to do that.
They HATE Helen Thomas. All because she trys to hold their fearless leader accountable.

12. Thanks
Great interview - shows her intelligence and shows Jon Stewart's respect for that.

I was surprised at how many 12 year old boys were submitting comments.

13. I love her.
She has the best laugh and a great sense of humor. Underneath, however, you can sense her disappointment and frustration with this administration.

15. Tony Snow has delusions of being "the teacher!"
Somebody tell him that he is supposed to be a press secretary, not the teacher.

And his condescension is unnecessary and unwarranted.

I heard Helen Thomas say or read it elsewhere that Snow is more agile on his feet, more polished. But it is the same old carp as with McClellan.

She is the best, love her playing with Colbert and the WHCD "interview tape" with her following Colbert and him screaming.

:rofl:

16. Helen should get a lifetime achievement award or an oscar or something.
All that daily SHIT she has to put up with, all so that Snowman can lie to her or berate her. I hope she rips him a new one!!!

18. I'd like to see a "Helen Thomas Integrity In Journalism" Award
... funded by some deep-pocketed liberal(s) with something like a $250,000 grant with each award. It obviously couldn't be awarded every year - and that's sad.
