129. I will not -- in the interest of maintaining the party line -- knock down Helen Thomas.

Unlike some around here, I can well remember how I would have felt and, subsequently, how I would have responded if Bush had given the bullshit "answer" that Obama did. The fact of the matter is that Bush did these same things all the time and people here tore him down for it. I was one of them. It was bullshit when Bush, Rumsfeld et al did it and it's bullshit now. Good for Helen Thomas for having the courage of conviction to truly be what a reporter should be -- impartial. Some here and on Free Republic forget that apparently.

Kicked and recommended.
