Did Helen Thomas just call Lester Kinsolving the new Gannon?
Edited on Mon Jul-18-05 12:20 PM by sabra
I thought I heard her say that, after Kinsolving tossed his question.

7. Helen Thomas is a National Treasure!
But don't look to the GOP handing out that accolade to the vibrant and brilliant woman.

Helen, you are the best and the brightest!

18. Hate to disagree...
For Lester to fill those shoes he'll have to do more than throw soft-balls (incomprehensible softballs on top of that).

Do those teeth come out?

19. I heart Helen T.
Not only Gannon but can't the President just call Karl Rove to his
office to ask what is going on?

Helen :loveya: Thomas

24. The new Gannon?
Edited on Mon Jul-18-05 01:03 PM by DoYouEverWonder
Les is the one who taught Gannon the fine art of the soft ball.

25. Sample Les Kinsolving Questions
For those of you unfamiliar with his work.

"No one at the press offices of either the Secret Service or the Department of Homeland Security was available this morning to answer questions about that Secret Service agent in Sun Valley who was trying to protect Senator Kerry, who publicly called this agent "a son of a b----." And my question, first of two, you can assure us, can't you, Scott, that the president will take some action to assure that no more Secret Service agents be subjected to such vile abuse by Democrat nominee, Kerry?"


"A new book has just been published, written by John Podhoretz of the New York Post and Fox News. It's entitled, "Bush Country: How Dubya Became a Great President While Driving Liberals Insane." And my question, is the president familiar with this book, and if so, does he like it?"

28. I watched the Press Conference again

30. Helen's quip reminds the Bush WH press corps that
they have all been a bunch of shamless presstitutes and BushCo patsies.

THEY all know it now, and they know that the people know. So her quip is a sharp jab, with a boost of vitamin I (Integrity) to the press. Let's hope it energizes the pack.
