Anyone who follows the news regularly knows Helen Thomas, even if you don't recognize the name. She's the little old lady who's been giving presidents hell since Lincoln decided to grow half a beard. She's consistently been a watchdog (remember what that means, journalists?) and a human b.s.-detector, not to mention a patron saint to anyone who's ever worked in a newsroom.
With that in mind, I'm pretty sure Scott McClellan is a pawn of Satan.
Well, hold on - that might be unfair to Satan. But in a recent news conference, Thomas had the audacity to insist that the White House press secretary actually answer a question; namely, what does "total victory in Iraq" mean? What a bitch! Didn't she learn anything when the Administration had her banished to the back of the White House press room, where she could then be consistently ignored?
So what does the little devil behind the podium do? Basically, he accuses her of opposing the so-called "War on Terror." Thereby implying she supports terrorism.
Somebody go dig McCarthy up - he'd get a kick out of this.
I've been pretty disgusted with the media for a while now, but it makes me feel better to know that Thomas is still out there swinging. Even after McClellan's jab she kept on him, pushing her questions out there and pinning down his discreprencies. And I'm also glad to see she's not alone - Terry Moran deserves props for having Thomas' back.
Did I just totally date myself by using "props?"
