7. I think when you have done what Helen Thomas has done your critique
will be more impressive.

8. Dude you don't get it. It will only make Hellen look bad not him.
She played him correctly. That is how you always play egomaniacs you play to their ego while you gut and fillet them.

17. This is a beautiful answer
>That is how you always play egomaniacs you play to their ego while you gut and fillet them.<

Absolutely, and Helen Thomas has been superbly dealing with egomaniacs like * since before most of us were a twinkle in our parents' eyes.

14. I Never Said She Was Bad!
I just think it will take someone of her character and quality to stand up to this Bozo! How often does he give a crap about the average citizen?

4. Because he's the fucking President.
And because she'd completely marginalize herself if she did.

9. She Has A Reputation
I can't believe she would be "Marginalized," because she would be standing up for a Growing Majority of Americans who think he's FULL OF SHIT, and a LIAR!

15. Thank you for helping the youngsters understand the stakes here.
Helen can't be brought down to his level of sleaze and shit streaks.

much as she could.

11. I Heard Her Try To Interrupt Just After My First Post
He wouldn't let her, and I'm surprised he even picked on her for a question.

13. She's a pro.


Even if the individual who sits in the Oval Office is an asshole, he's still the president. Like it or not. I don't think I could hide my contempt.

18. You've got it right. Helen Thomas is a professional. Regardless
what she thinks of the ass who currently holds the office of President, she will respect the office and act accordingly.

19. Most likely because she doesn't want to be suicided.
Helen has been around for a long time. I'm sure she's seen her share of people being suicided in D.C.

20. She's not afraid of protocol.
Edited on Tue Mar-21-06 11:37 AM by MarmiteVarmint
And she's smart enough - as all should be - not to give them a ready-made reason to put her out of the room.

I know all the young here are all het up and ready to scream 'fuck you' at the President, but it might be more clever to play a more subtle game for a better chance at getting, or saying, what you want. Helen is smart enough to BE that clever.:thumbsup:
