A sunbeam of candor on this day of all days, as America’s media copes with a collective, full-body Chris Matthews leg tingle. Skip ahead to 3:30 or buckle up and try to endure the full 10 minutes.

and the charade ends. No more cloak of objectivity just pure unadulterate liberal bias. In other words lies that liberals believe because it is a daily struggle to see beyond the end of one’s nose.
theguardianii on January 20, 2009 at 8:09 PM
I’m really sorry withered old witches like this don’t agree with me politically.
I mean, it would mean so much.
NoDonkey on January 20, 2009 at 8:10 PM
I was feeling a little down, so the idea that Obama’s already too conservative for Helen is too lovely for words.
I don’t look forward to four more years of liberal screeching, but as long as they’re screeching at one of their own…
Tanya on January 20, 2009 at 8:11 PM
She does appear similar to the evil emporer in Star Wars. Perhaps the female counter part of the Sith reign. Taking a dose in one day of a month’s supply of Cialis couldn’t overcome this.
wepeople on January 20, 2009 at 8:12 PM
Doesn’t. Bella Abzug at least knew how to accessorize.
Tanya on January 20, 2009 at 8:13 PM
The end conversation is interesting, alleging that there was a time that reporters could state opinions, which they now are deprived of the right to do. So much for objective reporting of facts.
amazingmets on January 20, 2009 at 8:14 PM
Of coarse I’m a Liberal; I was born a Liberal….
No mam, you were born horribly ugly and therefore became miserable enough to be a Liberal!
Keemo on January 20, 2009 at 8:15 PM
She’s not particularly attractive, is she?
mr.blacksheep on January 20, 2009 at 8:16 PM
She was also born damn ugly.
ErinF on January 20, 2009 at 8:17 PM
Websters is going to use a picture of her face as the definition for UGLY.
Old Hippie Vet on January 20, 2009 at 8:21 PM
She was liberal before there was a constitution, damnit!
Mr. Joe on January 20, 2009 at 8:22 PM
Ugliest creature on the planet. I’ve had bowel movements more attractive then “her”.
madne0 on January 20, 2009 at 8:23 PM
She was not only born a liberal, she was born ugly and she will die the same. Geez – that woman is evil and should be done away with. And, I’m a nice person. Someone call Jack Bauer to take care of her.
suzyk on January 20, 2009 at 8:23 PM
“Of coarse I’m a Liberal; I was born a Liberal….” Helen Thomas.
No ma’am, you’ve mis-remembered. You may have been born liberal, but you have not been a genuine liberal for years. You’re a radical. Oh, and Ms. Thomas, you are not a journalist, either. You may have been a journalist once, but you have not been one for years. You are a plain old propagandist, like George Creel, or Herr Dr. Goebbels. However, Ms. Thomas, you have proved Dr. Goebbels was correct about one thing: You have been telling the big lie so long you have come to believe it. Nice work!
Orson Buggeigh on January 20, 2009 at 8:24 PM
That’s a man, Baby!
Guardian on January 20, 2009 at 8:26 PM
And the virgins are all trimming their wicks…
And Helen has been trimmning those wicks for a good long time!
Mr. Joe on January 20, 2009 at 8:26 PM
Only because Bella died in 1998.
Wethal on January 20, 2009 at 8:27 PM
Helen Thomas will soon be dead and even more irrelevant than she currently is.
Hell awaits Helen. Hell awaits.
TheMightyQuinn on January 20, 2009 at 8:27 PM
The picture, please. I think I’m sterile now.
faraway on January 20, 2009 at 8:28 PM
i like her…at least she says what she believes and stands behind it…
after reading this thread, if i had to guess the average age of commenters here, i would guess 15? 16? shes old, leave here looks alone…besides, i have a feeling most of you are pretty ugly yourselves…
equanimous on January 20, 2009 at 8:32 PM
I love the line JFK was her favorite president and wishes Obama is like him but he has to do something.
Helen have you been listening to the right?
Gracelynn on January 20, 2009 at 8:33 PM
Helen i don,t care if you and all the rest of the drive bys are liberal the news is not nor is it consevr.It,s the news and should be reported as such.If you or anyone else in the news buss. can not do that simple thing get the HELL out of that line of work.The thing you and the rest of your comrads don,t realize is the truth is the truth not liberal or consev.
thmcbb on January 20, 2009 at 8:36 PM
I guess I should be more offended by her decades-long self-righteous lying about being unbiased, but she’s just too damn ugly. Before the ugly stick, Helen Thomas beat sticks.

Holy frack! It’s the Crypt Keeper!
Vic on January 20, 2009 at 8:38 PM
….and what a sorry mental disease to be born with as well. It doesn’t seem to matter if your I.Q. is 1 or 160, you too can be stricken with this disability resembling a socialistic, communistic bent in retardation called LIBERALISM.
Symptoms include; diarrhea of the mouth (starting in the cerebral cortex), rampant delusions of utopia, irrational hatred of all things involving individual freedom and person responsibility, and the irresistible urge to lie 10 times every 5 minutes. If symptoms persist, consult Dr.Kervorkian at the earliest opportunity.
Spiritk9 on January 20, 2009 at 8:38 PM
When she was born, they were just figuring out interesting uses for the wheel. Whoops, is that “unduly nasty”?
Jim Treacher on January 20, 2009 at 8:44 PM
You like her because she stands behind what she believes in..
Wow…that’s deep.
After reading your post, I’d say you’re about 22, and had a bad experience with your PolySci professor..some kind of ‘but you told me you weren’t into men’ type thing…
I’d also guess that you have a crappy job that doesn’t have a damn thing to do with what you went to school for.
Unless you went to McU…..
BigWyo on January 20, 2009 at 8:45 PM
Why does a benevolent God make us endure these images: A liar confirming his lies and fluff to millions of sheep on my National Mall and this frigid, hollow, soleless, empty, freakish, dark, life-zit ruining my already ruined day. I will now go barf…… this is toooooo much.
PaCadle on January 20, 2009 at 8:45 PM
Ann coulter may look like this in 30 years. Be nice to the elderly.
Bradky on January 20, 2009 at 8:52 PM
Thanks Big Wyo. I was going to be more “immature” and tell him to do the same thing to himself that Cheney told Leahy to do, but I figured I would let the masters kick his ass.
NathanG on January 20, 2009 at 8:53 PM
Uh, yeah.
Maybe the first lady. In fact, that’s a given. But not Ann.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
wccawa on January 20, 2009 at 8:55 PM
i think she’d be fun at a party…
equanimous on January 20, 2009 at 8:56 PM
You’ve never seen a 30-year-old photo of Helen Thomas, have you?
Ronnie on January 20, 2009 at 8:58 PM
Are you trying to destroy us! Watching her is like poison!
Zorro on January 20, 2009 at 9:00 PM
Only if, between now and then, she eats something. (See, I’m a bipartisan jackass.)
Jim Treacher on January 20, 2009 at 9:00 PM
Some people like anorexic looking bodies,,, some like women who can pop their teeth out when in the mood….
to each their own
Bradky on January 20, 2009 at 9:01 PM
And she’s still employed . . . why, exactly?
Ryan Gandy on January 20, 2009 at 9:03 PM
Yeah, like a daily dose of nightshade….for the next 900 years…
You are NOT bipartisan….you are our Partisan..
BigWyo on January 20, 2009 at 9:05 PM
Sorry, can’t bring myself to click it.
peski on January 20, 2009 at 9:06 PM
“What else should a reporter be but a liberal?”
Oh, I don’t know. How about honest? Factual? Objective, not subjective?
You are a REPORTER, not an EDITORIALIZOR.
cannonball on January 20, 2009 at 9:06 PM
Are you kidding?? If she wasn’t so hideous..unfortunately always has been…she’d be an anchor on ABC/CBS/NBC…
At MSNBC, I think they did have to flip a coin between her and Rachel Maddow…
It was tails….sigh
BigWyo on January 20, 2009 at 9:09 PM
When the patient admits there is a problem, it is the first step to recovery. In this case, the hag, Helen Thomas admitted to being born a liberal. This is a diagnosis which requires expensive therapy to prolong. But this is a big first step for her. Lets encourage this disrespectful hag to get the help she most clearly needs.
Mooseman on January 20, 2009 at 9:10 PM
She is actually uglier than any woman I ever woke up with. That’s sayin’ a whole lot.
PaCadle on January 20, 2009 at 9:12 PM
I’d caution against saying things like that in real life!
Bradky on January 20, 2009 at 9:13 PM
ugly, noncaring = liberal( Helen Thomas)…. Oh , I’m sorry, I’m a conservative…. I can’t type that……. only the liberals can say the same invectives….. forgive me……
MNDavenotPC on January 20, 2009 at 9:14 PM
Sorry gang … this old HAG has worn out any worth that she may have had. It’s time to say good-bye. Did you ever see the movie … “they shoot horses don’t they”.
ORrighty on January 20, 2009 at 9:15 PM
I’m quite happy with anyone with anyone that can look me in the eye, shake my hand, WITHOUT small grubs floating out of their eyeballs, thank you.
wccawa on January 20, 2009 at 9:17 PM
She’s not hideous, she’s differently sightly.
Jim Treacher on January 20, 2009 at 9:24 PM
All I could think watching her was “boil and bubble toil and trouble” eye of newt etc..
OMG who could take this crone seriously?
dugbru on January 20, 2009 at 9:33 PM
Shouldn’t she be offering a girl an appple?
Cicero43 on January 20, 2009 at 9:34 PM
“What else would a reporter be?”
I dunno. How about subjective, honest, and inquisitive yet respectful? I wish there was footage available of Tony Snow sparring with her. I miss him.
kingsjester on January 20, 2009 at 9:34 PM
Ok, I actually watched the thing…
At first I was thinking that the old hag was being fair…Obama has to prove himself and what not..but the vid is heavily edited…I’ll wager there’s parts in there where she’s talking about drinking with Spiro Agnew the night before…
When the interviewer(in all her audacity)asks her about objectivity…she almost seems to come alive and start breathing….
Time for the hospice you senile old hag….
BigWyo on January 20, 2009 at 9:34 PM
What else should a wizened, vitriolic, proboscis monkey-like harpy do but die?
rileytod on January 20, 2009 at 9:35 PM
Thanks to what the Dems did to the Economy, see Freddie and Fannie. Helen Thomas Can’t retire…puleeze give to the Helen Thomas retirement fund. What do you mean there isn’t one!!!!!
Dr Evil on January 20, 2009 at 9:37 PM
I have and you can too…if you dare. Just click here. Pic from about 1976 I think.
Oldnuke on January 20, 2009 at 9:43 PM
Well, if you watch the vid, it has Tony telling the hag…’Thanks for the Hezbollah point of view’….and then they cut it off…
Alas…
BigWyo on January 20, 2009 at 9:49 PM
Bradky, here’s Helen, at just a few years older than Ann is today.
p.s. I think the guy on the far left is Mr. Cheney.
Entelechy on January 20, 2009 at 9:52 PM
That’s not coyote ugly, that’s jackal ugly.
And by the way, I’ll call anyone that has done as much damage to her profession and her country as she has ugly any day of the week and I don’t need anyone here’s permission to do it. Maybe someday of Obama’s bots have their way, I will, but not yet!
drunyan8315 on January 20, 2009 at 9:55 PM
Sorry Bradky, don’t know why that pic. got cropped. Here is the full pic from Lib. of Congress.
Entelechy on January 20, 2009 at 9:56 PM
She was born in 1929 – that would put her at 56. Ann is 48/49…
Entelechy on January 20, 2009 at 9:58 PM
Noooo, she was born in 1920, grrrr.
Entelechy on January 20, 2009 at 9:59 PM
So, Helen, how’s that anencephaly working for you?
Mommynator on January 20, 2009 at 10:05 PM
Agreed with earlier poster about Bella Abzug. At least Bella’s hat kept the TV camera lens from cracking.
Cosmetically-challenged Helen Thomas’ decrepit mug can reach right through the TV lens and chill the soul of the cameraman while scaring the shadow behind him.
viking01 on January 20, 2009 at 10:18 PM
*sigh* You ask the impossible…
In other words, Bella Abzug wore a nice Anzug?
BTW: Who the he– is Bella Abzug?
RD on January 20, 2009 at 10:24 PM
RD, just for you.
Entelechy on January 20, 2009 at 10:27 PM
At least Bella was a supporter of Israel. Helen Thomas is just well….like I said, an annoying bitch.
NathanG on January 20, 2009 at 10:32 PM
Smeagol you got a red wig!!!
Bald Igle on January 20, 2009 at 10:34 PM
Okay, just found it.
RD on January 20, 2009 at 10:36 PM
Thanks Entelechy! Figures… ;-)
RD on January 20, 2009 at 10:37 PM
You know..I hate to say this, but I think its just cruel…CRUEL that people are propping this carcass up before cameras as if it were still alive. Please….Take the stick out of yonder tuckus and let it fall back into a wooden box..Maybe put a stake in it for good measure and let it die peacefully.
To do anything else is torture to us who like to look at real LIVE people.
In short…please stop grossing us out.
Handel on January 20, 2009 at 10:44 PM
Well, Helen, you’ve got the trifecta for a liberal reporter – You’re Utt-Bugly, you’re liberal, and you’re also Bitshat crazy.
Did you know that you’re the model for the 72 virgins? The jihadi’s still alive don’t know that, yet, and the ones who are in paradise are wishing they could turn back the clock and refuse that suicide vest.
TeeDee on January 20, 2009 at 11:06 PM
Entelechy,
I was just joking around – thanks for finding the pic.
regards ;)
Bradky on January 20, 2009 at 11:10 PM
The world’s oldest and uglist terrorist-lover.
ex-Democrat on January 20, 2009 at 11:29 PM
It’s sad to see a journalistic career end this way. Bitter old woman trashing her profession.
evergreen on January 20, 2009 at 11:44 PM
No one can endure 10 minutes of Helen a hand basket, the face that launched a million big baby chunks.
Giving old crones a
badworse name everywhere.Speakup on January 20, 2009 at 11:48 PM
“Helen Thomas: What else should a reporter be but a liberal?”
How about being a retired lberal?
lpierson on January 20, 2009 at 11:57 PM
It’s all in your face now…..the bias, the corruption, the out-and-out criminality. There is no longer any need to cover it up. This is the new America. There has been a profound change, indeed. They are calling it “transparency”.
jay12 on January 21, 2009 at 12:03 AM
She was ugly as hell when Thomas Jefferson was alive. Just hated Bush because he was a young go-getter who didn’t give a crap that she didn’t like him.
Speedwagon82 on January 21, 2009 at 12:11 AM
She’s a Liberal
She is Angry
Not Mutually Exclusive
Kini on January 21, 2009 at 12:49 AM
Along with being ugly, she was also born incredibly stupid. People like this amaze me with how obvlivious they are to their lack of class and stupidity.
therightwinger on January 21, 2009 at 12:50 AM
Helen Thomas is the epitome of a liberal, stupid, bitter, arrogant and fully convinced that anyone who doesn’t agree with her is the spawn of satan.
She hasn’t changed one bit since she changed her name over two thousand years ago. It used to be Dorian Grey.
Bikerken on January 21, 2009 at 1:19 AM
We’re all born liberals; some of us develop adult reasoning.
SDSquint on January 21, 2009 at 1:22 AM
She is to old to have been born a liberal back then they were called communists
Hellpig on January 21, 2009 at 1:45 AM
She loved Jack Kennedy.
She hated George Bush for the war and torture problems.
Did she ever hear of the Bay of Pigs, the Viet Nam War, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the lovely way JFK built his career? I guess not..
IlikedAUH2O on January 21, 2009 at 2:28 AM
Jesus! I could be banned just for what I´m THINKING!
But I´ll just say this
james hooker on January 21, 2009 at 2:39 AM
How could Helen Thomas be born a liberal?
I don’t think liberals existed in 1562.
BKennedy on January 21, 2009 at 4:48 AM
What else should a reporter be but liberal? I don’t know…Perhaps…OBJECTIVE. That’s what they taught me in my journalism classes.
fleiter on January 21, 2009 at 6:10 AM
Gee, what if those 72 virgins awaiting Osama all look like this hag. What a great symbol for the dying media. She and Journalism should avail themselves of a long overdue dirt nap.
EMD on January 21, 2009 at 7:19 AM
calling Helen Thomas “ugly” is an understatement on the scale of calling a tornado and “air current”.
MikeA on January 21, 2009 at 7:50 AM
Where are the flying monkeys?
DanaSmiles on January 21, 2009 at 8:03 AM
Since the hag has admitted it I guess she won’t mind if we call reporters partisan unAmerican tools who wouldn’t recognize objectivity if it slapped them upside their ego-inflated empty heads?
katiejane on January 21, 2009 at 8:51 AM
Maddow and her girlfriend have the flying monkeys. They are fine.
I was worried so I called PETA.
IlikedAUH2O on January 21, 2009 at 8:53 AM
**** In a wicked witch of the west voice, full of smoke and anal puss, (from butt kissing Liberals), and cancer we here:
Mister President…. Mister President….
Followed by Saten himself spewing forth vitriolic Liberalisiam…
Mark Garnett on January 21, 2009 at 9:04 AM
WATCH TEN MINUTES OF THAT??!!
Merciful GOD in Heaven, the photo itself has left me traumatized!
oldleprechaun on January 21, 2009 at 9:13 AM
MY EYES! MY EYES! Damn, don’t do that. Margaret Hamilton looks like Marilyn Monroe next to….that thing.
Coronagold on January 21, 2009 at 9:21 AM
Helen admits that, as a journo, she’s basically living and actively perpetuating a fraud and a lie.
disgrace.
wildweasel on January 21, 2009 at 9:22 AM
The attacks on her looks are so shallow. Why aren’t we attacking her Lebanese heritage? She’s an A-rab, of COURSE she hates Bush.
