I’m thinking AC would garrotte Helen right in the press room, in front of a cowering, blubbering David Gregory.

With either Helen’s or Gregory’s own support hose.

I’m thinking AC would garrotte Helen right in the press room, in front of a cowering, blubbering David Gregory.

I live in Colorado. She’s from Colorado. If I ever met her, I’d have to paraphrase Paul Reiser, who once said about that glance men exchange in passing with beautiful women that says, “So what you’re saying is, if I weren’t married, and you weren’t married and nothing in this universe is as we know it, you’re saying I’d have a shot, right??”

Can’t think of a “Dana” song, but singing her name to Ritchie Valens “Donna” comes to mind:

“Ohhhh, Dayyyy-na. Oh, Dayyyy-na. Oh…(etc)”

I still don’t understand why Perino is flashing the Vulcan greeting in that pic on the home page.

Proper reverence when in the presence of T’Pau. ‘Nuff said.

I don’t miss Ari anymore…I think I’ll watch more press conferences now.

Oh, wait — that’s a constant occurrence for the old bat anyway. But the latest report from Iraq makes the apologist for all things jihadi look particularly foolish and biased — civilian deaths are falling in a dramatic fashion due……

Helen Thomas is SO HOT!!! I have visions of her and I walking down the beach, hand in hand, the surf pounding on the shore…… OH HELEN. How long must I wait for your tender caress?

…are Speedo’s and thongs involved?

Ms. Perino is being friendly, fair, and firm in her exchange with a revered liberal journalistan old hag who looks like a piece of beef jerky found in the bottom of your boot after a ten mile hike, Ms. Thomas, who has nothing of substance to say.

…a little addition….

I believe she was moved to the back of the bus early on in the Bush administration when she left whatever rag she wrote for.

The lefty drive-by media had a cow, and raised hell until the cow was moved back to the front.

Her age is the one reason I would show Helen Thomas any respect.

The respect we give old folks is not for their ability to cheat death but that they have become wise and thoughtful.

But not all people do. Some just become older idiotic A-hole-ish versions of themselves.

The trick is to learn how to spot an old A-hole.

Respect is earned at any age.

That’s my default position until it’s proven that the older person doesn’t deserve it–like my maternal grandmother. From her I discovered that mean, arrogant, obnoxious, nutcases become mean, arrogant, obnoxious, old nutcases, if they live long enough. And Helen Thomas proves this also.

I agree with whoever said that the male spokesmen couldn’t have done this without looking like bullies. However, I disagree that Ms. Perrino the best of the four. That honor goes to Ari Fleisher.

Sittin on my butt, I stand corrected.
