Helen Thomas, the trailblazing reporter and columnist who was known as the "Dean of the White House Press Corps," has died at 92.
Quoted Text
In March 2005, she confronted Bush with the proposition that "your decision to invade Iraq has caused the deaths of thousands of Americans and Iraqis" and every justification for the attack proved false. "Why did you really want to go to war?" she demanded.
When Bush began explaining his rationale, she interjected: "They didn't do anything to you, or to our country."
"Excuse me for a second," Bush replied. "They did. The Taliban provided safe haven for al-Qaeda. That's where al-Qaeda trained."

She made the mistake of criticizing Israel which killed her career, amazing how that works. RIP

She told Israelis to get the hell out of Palestine. You can't criticize the Israelis continued building of settlements on Palesinian land? Ooooooohhh...Don't say that - that is anti Semetic. Give me a break!

I wish I knew your wife. I'd give her $100 to wear a Helen Thomas mask to bed with you tonight. The two of you could could start out doing it in the dark, and in the middle of it, she could turn on the light revealing the mask.
Nah, that would be too mean, and the PTSD could last a lifetime.
You could retaliate by doing the same thing with a Burger King mask though.
Nah, scratch that idea, it would ruin your marriage.
She was a nasty, bitter bigot .. in other words a typical left-wing nut member of the White House Press Corp.

Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
