1. I'm game, if we get her address.
She's showing those punk-ass sycophants how a real journalist works.

3. I'd like to see Helen and Randi together on a talk show
I just bet that between the two of them, they know more about our government than anyone currently holding public office! Maybe either one of them on their own for that matter.


Yes, I'd like to thank Helen! What a doll!

10. She's gracious that way. She takes the time to answer
A lot of journalists wouldn't

Just one more way she's so terrific.

14. Agreed.
And I imagine she receives a lot of emails. For her to take the time to respond is one of the ways in which is is a first-class person.

12. Done. Again.
She DOES take the time to respond, and it will be something nice for her today. You KNOW she is going to get reamed by the Forces of Darkness who'll fill her email bin with all kinds of shit, bile, and probably also threats of every kind. She is a national treasure. If I were president, she'd be my first choice to get a Medal of Freedom, so we could start rehabilitating that tarnished honor and bringing it back from bush's desecration.

5. Especially considering how Junior treated her today
What a stupid little boy he is. If it weren't for the voice in his ear, he would have lost his little boy temper with her. One day, Karen Hughes (or whoever it is in the earpiece) won't be fast enough and he'll blow like a little tiny volcano. :)

11. Maybe we should all email her and ask her to bring up
The white phosphorous and new-generation napalm we are using in Iraq. Confront these bastards with what they did

15. Thank her for mentioning PNAC and the neo-cons and their Iraq agenda.
Helen Thomas: "...he wanted to go into Iraq. He had all the neo-conservatives advising him at the top of their agenda for Project for the New American Century: First Iraq, then Iraq (shakes her head no, correcting herself) then Syria, then Iran and so forth..."

"...you couldn't sit in that pressroom day after day... everytime it was mentioned by Ari Fleischer or Scott, they would say in one breath 9-11, Saddam Hussein. 9-11 Saddam Hussein. I don't... I don't blame the American people for thinking there was a tie..."

Wolfie: "So you don't accept his answer today? You think what? He was still spinning? Is that what you're saying?"

Helen: "It wasn't that. I think maybe in his own mind he didn't but I think that everybody who knows... everybody who is in the know, knows that Iraq was on target... it was on the radar screen from the moment he came into office. Treasury Secretary says it. People in CIA say it, and so forth. Nothing would deter him. It was a very big goal"

FROM THE MOMENT HE TOOK OFFICE...

Everybody knows it Bush. You're only fooling yourself.

17. I went to hear her speak a week ago tonight
and I can assure you she isn't the least bit fond of dubya but she is exceedingly polite when she talks about him.

18. OK
but I hate the ridiculous nonsense of laughing at the prodding of a man whom should rightfully revolt her...
