On April 12, 2007, Helen Thomas shares her views on President George W. Bush Jr. She said that the war in Iraq is "illegal, immoral and unconscionable." Ms. Thomas is a veteran White House journalist and the author of four book. She spoke at McDaniel College, at the Decker Center, to a large audience. The school is located about 30 miles west of Baltimore City. Ms. Thomas said that the "imperial presidency" was aided by "Chicken Democrats," and that the White House is presently "under siege," which reminded her a lot of the "early days of Watergate."

3. I like Helen Thomas so much. What a great lady.

And she has had the opportunity to see how Washington and politics work over the years, first hand. She knows all too well what's what.

I think you can be certain that the words she speaks are true. I'm glad she isn't afraid to ask the tough questions, like so many others in the press are. It's too bad she doesn't have the chance to ask the tough questions more often, but that alone says a lot in my opinion.

4. Chicken Democrats!

Now THAT is something that needs to be screamed off of every housetop! These arrogant bastards do not respond to "being delicate". These Dems need to get out of their politician mode and get into American citizen mode! Because as the saying goes, "if you are not pissed off, then you haven't been paying attention." We all know the Dems have been paying attention, yet they just don't seem to be pissed off!
:grr:
