| #10 Actually, they still call on her. I think that they just decided discontinue calling her a "jounalist" when she cashed out of her UPI post and became a "columnist" meaning that now her work is full of her own opinion instead of being "hard news." |

| #8 Anonymoose: You've caused me to flash back to high school (quite a while ago) when the whole school was forced to sit through a haigiography of JFK and recounting of the glories of Camelot by Ted Sorenson. I can't exactly say that the event was seared into my memory. But I do believe it was a turning point in becoming libertarian. |

| #7 If anyone doesn't know, the *only* reason Helen Thomas gets any respect, even any acknowledgement, is because she is one of the last remaining relics of "Camelot", the mythical New Jerusalem that democrats harken back to as "when things were perfect." At that time, she was an unimportant, remora-like toady to the Kennedy administration. Since then, they have accorded her with every convenience, every courtesy, and puffed her up like a balloon. There are hundreds, or even thousands of journalists far more worthy of having her seat at the WH press room. |

| #2 Is she still this side of embalmment? A moment of lucidity - "Kerry Bad", along with the usual hot air of "Bush Bad". She has been theoretically non-functional since they quit calling on her at the White House press conferences. She wants attention from someone. Bottom line, Kerry is so objectionable because he is a smug dork. Even some of the liberal commentators, including the "venerable" Ms Thomas have to sense that as much as they like at least some of his unfocused views, he has the personality of a pickled herring. And, when his views go too far off their provincial(e) reservation, they will no longer remain silent. |
