Wow...just wow.

She could have gotten this same kind of vaghue non-answer from a Bush Admin apparatchik.

"Because, 'mam, they are bad, bad men!"

"Well we dropped a couple of bunker busters on a village the other day... basically fucked their whole world up 'mam."

Damnit man.

Against the homeland....Am I the only one whenever I hear that I feel like I'm living in Nazi Germany.

You're not alone, its just lost on most

"They are attacking us because of our freedom" always reminds me of this scene from The Jerk

Hey Helen, why don't you ask Michael Scheuer who has studied their culture for the past 30 years.

I sent Helen a thank you note here:

She won't get it directly, but her people will.

I think she knows the answer, she just wants to hear it from the administration and get it on record.

Howcome our aircrafts were being shot at by Iraqi militants when a 'no-fly zone' was once imposed? Hmm, maybe because we were dropping bombs on their country. It's stuff like this, but you'll never get the real reason behind it all, especially from a Washington official.

That dude went into FEAR mode pretty quickly. It was like he was channeling GW.

 

[lester1/2jr]

in his defense he thought he was going to be answering more stupid type questions.

she did a great thing by doing this. what's funny is the cable channels might cover this but they themselves won't address the question either

I like her. She knows the score.

She's reported on every administration since JFK and she recently said that the Obama administration is the least cooperative and transparent of them all, including Nixon's.

Following a testy exchange during Wednesday’s briefing with White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas told CNSNews.com that not even Richard Nixon tried to control the press the way President Obama is trying to control the press.

“Nixon didn’t try to do that,” Thomas said. “They couldn’t control (the media). They didn’t try.

“What the hell do they think we are, puppets?” Thomas said. “They’re supposed to stay out of our business. They are our public servants. We pay them."
