How does someone that says such bizarre and outrageous things
have any credibility as a journalist? I know that she is getting a
little senile, but many of the left still regard her as a legitimate
reporter.

Poor Helen. Bush showed her gracious deference. She responded with intemperate ad hominems. She was sent to the back of the class but should have lost her press pass. She is not a source of fear but the subject of scorn.

Poor Helen, she is an embarrassment! I cring when I hear her questions, and I know that she would benefit from a visit with a psychiatrist...

Helen Thomas has been a joke even among the White House press corps for years, now - watch how other reporters roll their eyes before she even begins to speak.

She really does need to be put out to pasture. Let her go write a memoir or something. She hasn't been fit to present news for at least the last decade, and it's sad to see that they let her keep pretending to do so.

Helen Thomas claims to be a reporter, but instead she is a commentator and not a very good one at that. Had she started raising her conspiracy theories during the Clinton Administration, she would not be in the back row, she would not have a syndicated column, she would be home annoying her friends with them over coffee. Democrats are pretty intolerant when one of their own turns on them.

I doubt that she is senile, she has simply started believing what the fawning press has wrote about her and is playing to her own vanity.

I think that Helen Thomas along with whoever represents CBS in the
White House Press Room should get new seats for future press
conferences. A park bench in LaFayette park would be perfect.
Why do these people have to be let into the White House anyhow?

Old Helen is a dinosaur. Why don't they put the caterwalling old broad out to pasture for crying out loud? She's been dead for years, just hasn't had the good grace to lay down.

Bush putting her on the back row is a very sly way of saying "you're a nobody now. Shut up. We're ignoring you".

I saw a cartoon where the old bag was the image of 72 virgins for the terrorists. That would scare anybody. Helen T is just a sour, unhappy old hag, maybe just right to be Hillary's press secretary.

Helen is the monster and the fascist! I have no tolerance for these sorts that are into name calling, so I just call it back on them. They are arrogant, ignorant, and prejudice. She is jealous of Condi because she is a remarkable woman who is very accomplished, not just in public life, but also her personal life. She is a professor and a concert pianist.

Helen just needs to SHUT UP!

I have no sympathy for the likes of Helen Thomas. She's neither "poor" nor has she "lost it". She never had it in the first place. The "respect" she has been accorded all these years is just symbolism.

Since alternatives to her brand of exclusionary journalism have come along and Thomas has become irrelevant, she has revealed herself for the fraud she is: A bitter, back-biting, partisan hack. Having written nothing truly memorable, she's just "been there". A perfect example of of the quota-filling feel-good-producing nothing crowd.

An Arafat of journalism.

Someone ought to treat her to a free day at the beach, DURING WHALING SEASON!
