Dana Perino Vs. Helen Thomas

[bigfatassdaddy2011]

few intelligent folks support the decision to begin a war in Iraq....and now with the benefit of hindsight this has become even clearer. Obviously helen thomas was correct in this debate....we killed many civilians for no real benefit.

[cliffyknight]

Helen is an idiot. Gee...think she's liberal?

[fvalen001]

Tinker Bell vs. the old gypsy women from 'Drag Me to Hell". (Obviously, Dana wins cuz she's hot).

[UniversalProjectCo]

@hamaz Your walls of text show you obviously have waaaaaaaay too much time on your hands. Yes Israel violates international laws, but does that mean the nation doesn't deserve to exist? Do you think the ARAB COUNTRIES DON'T violate interational law? Like stoning women?

[UniversalProjectCo]

Hagwoman also insulted the Jewish people and spouted off antisemitism. It should be dealt with humanely, and locked away in a nice cozy room so it can't hurt anyone (namely this country) anymore.

[MsCertifiedgangsta]

@UniversalProjectCo go back to the filipinas and shut the hell up your not american lmao

[UniversalProjectCo]

@MsCertifiedgangsta STOP STALKING ME YOU CREEP. I AM NOT FILIPINO (but you can believe whatever you want).

[MsCertifiedgangsta]

@UniversalProjectCo then prove me wrong show me your fucked up ugly face show me let me fuckin see it !! chinesse lookin bitch !!

[Rcoxx4u]

Tell that whore Helen!

She is only there because she knows how to lick and suck.

[4Tamashah]

@Rcoxx4u You are truly a stupid idiot! Just like Helen is!

[edmankin]

dude, I'm sorry... Perino is hot.

[footluv71]

I'm glad the senile old cunt is gone.

[spellHYPOCRISY]

Grateful for YouTube. We will always have an accessible record of Cunty McSpokesmodel illustrating her daily airhead capabilities.

[omgnumbersandletters]

to think this woman can stand up there and be so condescending to Helen Thomas of all people is insane. "We don't kill civilians" bullshit! We kill them left and right with every weapon in our arsenal. You can try to call it collateral damage or a weapon malfunction or miscommunication or whatever but a dead person is still dead and we need to own up to that.

[polksalad1234]

god bless helen thomas for not eating perino bull shit

[RawwInc]

ur all fucking retarded. im a conservative and i agree with helen. because i dont fall into party lines. you never hear about how many iraqis or innocent people we kill. Half the time based on an assumption not even a fact, we (the US) will send in a drone to blow up a block full of already displaced iraqis looking for a stable home to raise their children, live a peaceful lifestyle and makes ends meet without the US govt sticking their dicks up their ass, or the Iraqi govt fucking them

[alihammadshah]

she owns. 

[stafflvr]

Time to deport that bitch back to Lebanon.

[BoogieWithStew]

It's like explaining the world to a young child.

[davidkail]

Waw ........

[sayDArealshitORdie99]

yh hellen dont look hot cuz now she is 100 years old but smart.but dana she is hot .but not smart and when she rech 100 years shey will b ugly but still and not smartlooooool peace

[tabrettologist]

Dana is hot. Period. And brains... nothing else to say.

Helen Thomas is a pro-terrorist hag who should be deported for sedition.

[reggiebae]

This administration is too young and no wisdom.

They need to listen to Helen but they wont truly understand her. Well at least not now. The administration is to young and can't see through things.

The big picture.

The administration don't realize how many lives this is going to cost. Clueless.

[elghazoli]

This Dana is retarded and rude

Well done Helen hit them where it herts

[elghazoli]

So you go and invade a country and destroy it totally bearing in mind that this country

had nothing to do with terrorism no nuclear weapons and you call it a war zone and you say you are after the enemy? what fucking enemy

[bpentium]

Thomas is 250 years old. Give her a break.

[MyMerlin1]

Classic American behavior , trying to palm the blame off to some poor old fucking Iraki. You Americans need to forget The Alamo.

[seetheredradiator]

she knows how to grill :)

[tenflags]

Helen is right!  Bush is big killer!

[tenflags]

Perino is idiot. Helen nailed her.

[Kazakor]

Helen Thomas exposed herself recently for what she is: a hateful, anti-semitic bigot who is a disgrace to open-minded liberals everywhere. Hearst dishonors the basic tenets of journalism by continuing to employ this woman.

[hamaz]

@Kazakor You guys are so full of shit. JUST because she voiced her opinion on the Israeli occupation and its murderous regime doesnt mean shes anti-jew or anti-whatever. You guys talk about "open mindedness" and yet you NEVER accept any criticism against Israel and keepplaying the holocaust game. SHAME ON u to use your misfortune for collective guilt of the world. You are the bigot and the disgrace not that legend of a reporter

[Kazakor]

@hamaz By "You guys" you, of course, mean us Jews, yes? Thomas didn't "express her opinion" on what you call the "occupation," which is a racist buzzword, she expressed a bigoted, anti-Jewish predilection. And I think it is laughable that you describe the Holocaust as a "misfortune."  A "misfortune?" Your grievances are earth shattering, but the extermination of six million Jews is a "misfortune." Amazing. Would you consider Hamas to be a murderous regime? Somehow, I doubt you would.

[hamaz]

@Kazakor See? Your entire reply was full of self-pity, as if to make me guilty. Firstly, you guys = people who support zionists and their claim on a land that is not theirs. Secondly, she did not insult any jew. She said that the land jews are settling on is nto theirs and that they should really go back to where ever they did "aliyah" from...like Poland or Germany. I am NOT and neither is anyone who lives now responsible for what happened to the jews. 

[hamaz]

@Kazakor And yes it is a misfotune..what else would you clal it? This self-given right to be above criticism just because of what happend to you in the past is just absolutely disgusting. Leanr from Dr. Finkelstein..even he is sick of you use of tragedy to justify murder. Maybe you would call the Haganah and the Irgun murderous? I would...and Hamas is not a terrorist group, they were DEMOCRATICALLY elected by the palestinian people under UN supervision. Clearly you are not versed in politics

[hamaz]

@Kazakor So yea, reply to what i said, but please DONT give me any more of your self-pitying, sanctamonious bullshit. Israel continues to violate international alw everyday and settles illegally on the land of my grandparents. Israel did not exist for 1500 and yet you guys claim it as yours because ur forefathers lived there. Well maybe you guys should go ahead and take Saudi, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Egypt and lebanon. Probably your ancestors lived there too? Go ahead, China and India too maybe

[Kazakor]

@hamaz Hamas, enough with the Nasserist propaganda. That rubbish went out of fashion on 28 September, 1970. And, not that it really matters, but I'm a German Lutheran, not an Israeli Jew, you bigot. Merry Christmas.

[hamaz]

@Kazakor To prove you do not understand the political dimensions of the situation, you used "Nasserist" propaganda inccorectly, because nasser was for pan-arab nationalism, something I did not mention. You did not address my points about Hamas, neither did you about violation of internationl law, neither about Dr. Finkelstein. And again, see you just called me a "bigot" just like you called Helen Thomas. This proves you are just sentimental about the issue, not logical. All you can do is insult

[hamaz]

@Kazakor I dont care who you are or what your religion is. This is NOT a religious issue...likeyou try to fashion it. Its a political issue. Again, make sure to read ALL my comments and not ignore them...although im beginning to sense that I'm arguing with an ignoramus with no political knowledge or even insight. Im sorry, Im not here to teach budding racists about the issue...learn some more and then come converse with me with civility and knowledge. And stop using bigot...the only word u know

[EGGArgost]

Good for Dana!!! She answered the question appropriately and put Helen in her place. I may not agree with the war in Iraq, but Helen has no right to speak as she does and abuse her "freedom of the press" right.

[happy543210]

@EGGArgost What I find "abusive" is that Dana Perino isn't a porn star, so I could masturbate to her gorgeous pink pussy every night.

[kaeyton]

It's funny, they don't care about the innocents we've killed. But when some innocent U.S. citizen is killed, say in the World Trade Center, we flip out. What has this nation come to?

[dbviewer5]

Poor Dana Perino, she's trying to talk sense to a LOON !

[littlebeartoe]

Die already, Helen.

[Deucealive75]

My response would have been "Yes Helen, regret does not bring back a life. And neither does your whinning" The old bag should have retired years ago.

[lazarus0202]

Do it Helen! Give it to 'em.

[agentmusti]

Dana Perino is sexxxxxxxy

[86am]

How do dead people have the opportunity for liberty, freedom or democracy?

[msqtube]

yah helen thomas is a tired old hippie, and even she is catching on to the vibe that BHO is a bumbling idiot and dangerous ideologue.

[CampsSuck]

I think Dana Perino is a wonderful and a smart women.

[SPFrobber]

Helen Thomas? War General?

[stagee10]

Helen To Dana- Do you know how many people we kil everyday???

That to me is a free journalist who is thinking, having confidence to ask the right questions.I didn't hear any answer from Dana, the question was- Do you know how many people we kill everyday??

Infact I would ask her also, Do you know the support that we give to Israel what it does in Palestinian and how many Palestinians never see another day for just living in their land????

I hope we have more journalist like Helen Thomas!.

[Musicofthissphere]

Most Palestinians are from Egypt, transjordan, syria, lebanon, and everywhere but Israel

[johnlaw63]

jbugnuts is a classic example of someone who gets all his information from the people at ACORN. MoveOn.or and the DNC - then spits out his fucked up pablum with no evidence to back it up - Sorry asshole - I'll take the word of decorated military commanders who went to Iraq, saw the wmds, and did a great job defending American interests over the assclowns and shitbags you associate with - you're just another loud mouth know nothing lying liberal asshole 2012 will come and your asses will be out.

[Musicofthissphere]

ABSOLUTELY ! :o)

[jbugko]

So, Needledick Rambo says we found WMD - even when every chemical and weapon found after combing through Iraq revealed there were no stockpiles and the items were decayed & unusable, and 48,000 boxes of corres. were read. Needledick-I mean "JohnLaw63" says so what if there was extensive research that determined that " Iraq destroyed its chemical and biological weapons in the early 1990s, and shut down those programs and the nuclear-bomb program, which had never produced a weapon"

[jbugko]

Bet she doesn't remember that unprecedented event where former diplomats and military commanders - many of whom were Republicans - objected to Bush's (well, actually Cheney's) going into Iraq & his hamfisted (NEOCON) approach to "handling" things, when Saudis used planes as missiles (while Cheney denounced Richard Clark and Bush didn't bother reading pdbs or accepting CREDIBLE intelligence on that matter prior), and their just completely dropping the ball on Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan.

[Musicofthissphere]

More nonsense from people who have one word at their exposal "neocon"

[jbugko]

A word that had significance during Bush's rein since the Project for a New American Century, run by NEOCONSERVATIVES - A/KI/A NEOCONS - a private think tank, in its statement of principles, corresponded in ideology with that administration. THAT is why it is at my exposal and VALID. Here is another word that is valid in this instance. I have had to reply to a myopic numbskull.

[Musicofthissphere]

Actually, that's two words and they apply to you. You didn't 'have to' respond to anything, you silly irrelevant cunt

[jbugko]

Liberty, freedom, & democracy? The premise for the unsanctioned occupation was WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. Did they hatch this woman out of an egg afer May 2003, or did they just wipe her slate clean from reality prior to that date.

[johnlaw63]

Try getting your head out of you ass, stop reading the Barry Obama talking points and search out the dept of defense documentation listing the wmd's found in Iraq - or do you wish to call the CIA a bunch of liars just like that skank whore Pelosi? - Wake the fuck up libtard.

[jbugko]

Well, then you are saying essentially that when Valerie Plame who worked for the CIA, testified under oath that she was a covert CIA agent, she was not lying. And btw, your trite, tired "libtard" and "Pelosi is a skank whore" are so stupid I'm embarrassed for you.

[johnlaw63]

Helen Thmas is a fucking old fart that should retire and go live in Iran. Get the fuck out of America Helen.

[jbugko]

ENEMY? WAR Zone? So much 4 the claim that we'd be greeted as liberators once we got rid of all those weapons of mass destruction. WMD- the reason 4 the unsanctioned occuplation, & diverting funds & troups from Afghanistan. And after all the American Petroleum Association backed Cheney 100%, & if it's good enough for them it's good enough for johnlaw63, & if it's good enough for johnlaw63 then anyone who asks questions should move to Iran. Hey Johnlawt3, go suck on a gaspipe.

[golperuano]

I can sympathize with Dana Perino. I've had similar difficulties explaining subtleties to my 4 year old son.  My 6 year old daughter picks it up just fine though.

[Goldwater68]

Your kids work as apologists for war criminals?

[johnlaw63]

His kids work for Osama Bin Laden? - Oh no wait - you think what the fuckwad did is okay.....

[whichonespink77]

Somebody please kill that old bitch

[Goldwater68]

Go fuck yourself.

[ksurick]

Drop dead already Helen!

[Goldwater68]

Let's hope your Bush goes out first.

[ThoughtPatterns]

Conservatism makes even good looking women very ugly. If she weren't such a stooge she would be pretty hot.

[mozartgenetics]

Dana is completely full of shit and should not condescend to Helen like that. Helen has forgotten more about true patriotism than Dana will ever learn. Helen asks questions that any rational person would ask.

[johnlaw63]

rational in the "I'm high as a kite" type.

[actinstyle]

an enormously lovely babe.really. but unfortunately overstrained with her job until the end. she probably would have been more qualified for a job with less of these grilling moments.

[123demaio]

This women doesnot read much about what is going on.. She is pritty and stupid

[icare4you123]

I applaud the courage of Helen Thomas in persisting to ask those tough questions.

I do wonder, why are her questions often met with distain and condescending opinion rather than actual answers?

Folks that run press conferences should be more courteous and tolerant.

[pahtsan]

Tell that to Robert Gibbs and Barak Obama.

[BubbaHoTep01]

It's time to take the keys away from Grandma.

[ardvark55555]

helen thomas is soooooo old. she needs to just die already!

[zachattack300723]

shes not answering the question haha

[jbernanke]

Helen Thomas got pwnd. probbly senile and talking in her sleep.

Perino is hOT!

[wcduke]

It's funny how two people can observe the same incident and see two entirely different things. What you observe here is based on your beliefs, and what you want to believe. Yes, the same could be said about me, but the point is, who is right?

[ardvark55555]

yeah id fuck perino too

[jbernanke]

damn straight

[msblackhart]

man, did you see that look she gave Helen Thomas in the end? no need to be so bitchy....

[dcm05002]

the u.s. has killed 1 million iraqi civilians just since the beginning of the war not to count the first gulf war or the 10 years of u.s. backed sanctions that starved their people. ONE MILLION. 95% of all bombs dropped in the opening blows of "operation iraqi freedom" killed CIVILIANS, its in the hospital records in Baghdad. smart bombs my ass. this war is fucking criminal, i hope a bomb drops on dana's house so she knows what it feels like to be on the receiving end of the American empire.

[RationalEmotive]

"It's an honor and a privilege to be in the briefing room!" What?! Read your founding documents, cunt! The briefing room should be open to every person with a press badge or even every American, well build a bigger room then.

To state that something that is to be taken for granted is now a privilege and an honor and you can only ask certain kinds of question is, I concur with former comments, totalitarian.

[mtbolin]

"Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." - George Orwell

May we always be blessed with true journalists such as Helen Thomas, who demand the truth in a whirlwind of lies. Unlike what Dana Perino would have you believe, the only difference between "collateral damage" and "dead innocents" is semantic. No matter what you call it, they're dead. Period.

[qLadyJane]

She's a wise old woman

[kevlarunderwear22]

dana is hot. what does helen look like?

[darnitalltohell]

well, helen doesn't look hot, I can tell you that.

[skiguru99]

You can say that again. She's the wicked witch of the east

[HabsRule92Remy92]

Actually she is a very kind person.

[applejelly87]

This woman doesn't even believe what she's saying.

[nlaws2]

shes a very good journalist, even today, shes just an inconvenience to the Bush administration. they blacklisted her because she makes the look bad. the president has called on her twice in 8 years during press conferences.that doesnt say much in their credit.

[thx291]

Helen Thomas may have been a good journalist at one time but now she's just a senile confused old bag who it seems that everyone is just humoring. Much in the same way someone humors an elderly family member when they begin losing their faculties.

[disciplinemisanthrop]

im glad video wasnt shown of helen

[JERODCAN]

Perino smacking down that old stupid completely foolish bitch... Great video.

[schmoopier]

We are going after the enemy Helen. Consider yourself warned.

[turftechnologies]

dana perino? absurd barbie ice queen

[TidySociety]

she is great, she can say what everyone(that isnt redneck or retarded) wants to say. Everyone that is against her will fall in one of the two categories or both.

[thx291]

Helen Thomas is an idiot. If the US military didn't care about Iraqi civilian life we could just carpet bomb the entire country and defeat the insurgents by attrition. Instead we take precautions in order to not kill civilians often at the expense of the lives of US soldiers.

[Heny4563]

Do you not know your history? Thats too obvious so we have to keep it under wraps. Dont you know weve also stopped our troops from communicating with the outside world w/o it being scanned and viewed first b/c we dont want any more bad things leaking. Duh!

[thx291]

Heny4563,

Can you provide evidence that every letter from every US soldier is being scanned and censored by some government agency? Also, could you explain how the US military is able to carpet bomb the entire country and keep it "under wraps" when they couldn't even keep Abu Ghraib or Haditha a secret?

[coolmoney84]

Damn! Helen Thomas reminds me of a drunk ass! She is so rediculas.

[eldar360]

Helen Thomas is a fucking bitch, how is she even allowed in their?

[SonOfGod3000]

she's covered presidents since 1960's she was around to see democracy loving presidents like jfk she's the only press who can remember a president actually being the people's president so i'd trust her opinion before this joke of an administration

[PleaseGimmeAName]

By these standards, this must mean you're voting for McCain. Correct? Oh, so you're just a spouting lib who can't think for himself but instead gets your talk points from the DailyKOS. I understand now.

[theLordpaRri]

you'll surprised just whole I am. Frankly i'd rather think for myself rather that have some blonde air-head recite the company slogan of being at war against the invisible enemy that attacked our nation while under the protection of this supposed president who was playing golf and seemingly paid no mind to his PDF file that said OBL was going to attack using planes..So yeah go ahead and defend this REGIME but it's idiots like you they write those scary speeches about ''SECURITY'' it's too easy!!

[poswoll]

It's understood that freedom needs to be secured with military power. Many people fail to see how weakening our military with multiple deployments, stop losses and lowering of standards, all to wage a dubious war, is helpful to our freedom.

[Enthusiast2008]

Helen Thomas wants Freedom to be FREE. It is not and never has been. Dana Perino upheld the dignity of the administration, as did her predecessor, Tony Snow.

[notloz2]

Freedom isn't free?

what an oxymoronic statement.

Do you even know the definition of freedom?

[Enthusiast2008]

We are free to live as we please (within the law) and we are free to make a living, speak freely, pursue a religion, raise our families. However, freedom to do these things must be defended because some societies feel that such freedoms interfere with their beliefs. So, our freedom has a cost. It is not free. This thesis is not at all oxymoronic or contradictory. It is a fact of life in this world. All the best to you as you pursue your freedoms while our government defends your right to do so.

[notloz2]

Unjust wars to secure resources and secure markets is not a just reason to kill.

GWB don't give to sweet sheits about freedom (thats why he's destroying it in the US), all he cares about is freetrade.

American imperialistic and bloody actions are not wiped awaye because of some rhetoric.

You take other peoples freedom away and implement the American Fascist version of it.

Which is a corporate oligarchy, thats not freedom!

Do you actually think you live in a democracy there bud?

[Enthusiast2008]

All Presidents make mistakes. Over time our democracy has deteriorated. All democracies do because people become apathetic and don't vote responsibly. However, our form of government is the best around, so far. Our freedoms are priceless. Meanwhile, the war in Iraq was just and sanctioned by Congress and the U.N. There was nothing Fascist involved (please learn that definition). We are a nation, not a social service agency. It is right to care about others but we must remain strong as a nation.

[mofo64mofo]

jokokilla has a crush on helen thomas ha! ha!you must have a grandma fetish. dana is a classy, intelligent lady and shouldn't have to put up with moronic questions from this crusty old fossil

[JoKoKilla]

Thank god Helen Thomas is there to ask these questions. Starman, you're a damn fool.

[ufund]

Beauty and the beast.

[anonymousident]

I "seem to want to say" ... what does that even mean? Bottom line: the majority want us out within a year, whether we've "finished the mission" or not. Listen buddy - this conversation is profitable for both of us: you are getting a free education, and I get the pleasure of finding new and creative ways to call you stupid. It's fun, but don't make it too easy for me, because I'll lose interest and this valuable opportunity will vanish.

[anonymousident]

Though that wasn't the poll I was referring to, it still proves my point. When I said "under a year" I didn't say "now," I said "under a year." That is not misleading at all - in fact, it is MORE damning for your position that a whopping quarter of the populace believes that troops should be withdrawn IMMEDIATELY. The fact that you rush to point this out proves only your stupidity. How many people believe we are "winning" is completely irrelevant. Context matters. So do neurons. Get some.

[anonymousident]

When I say "any" poll, I literally mean ANY POLL. Find one. Any one. Even one of your right-wing gun-loving nutjob polls, like the FoxTV/Rasmussen poll that came out last month. You will see that not only does over 60% of the populace think the war was a mistake in the first place, but also believe that we should withdraw all troops in under a year. Oh, and I'll explain why I'm "so full of myself": it's because the world would be a better place with two of me and none of you. Later, douchebag.

[anonymousident]

It's not hard to guess what you're full of. In fact, you already told us.

[anonymousident]

Actually that's exactly what I'm NOT saying. If you look at ANY of the polls (I assume you meant "unbiased" polls - I have to make allowance for the fact that you're rock-stupid) you will see that the vast majority of Americans are against the war. As for your contributions to the sewer system, I would say that they are infinitely more valuable than your contributions to this message board.

[anonymousident]

Dana Perino's hideous purple outfit seems to be engineered to disguise the fact that her heart is as cold and dark as the policies she is paid to spout. Make no mistake: beneath that manicured, soft-spoken, vaguely-Southern exterior there is a Dick Cheney waiting to emerge. B*tch.

[anonymousident]

No, it doesn't. However, she's probably basing her view that the rest of the country is anti-war not on the opinions of her friends but rather on the polls that say "the rest of the country is anti-war." So, enviroterrorist, this might be a good time for you to realize that everybody disagrees with you because your opinion is ill-conceived and worthless. Both of these adjectives apply to you, as well.

[multimediaperson]

"it's like the creation of the World from Bambi's mind'' should be your video comment.... "we do not kill innocents in Irak"? LOL

[nickelbird103]

This Whore should be Burned Alive!!!!

This is what happens when a JEW gets in the White House!

[drewby613]

What is your point, Nazi-bird103? To which Jew are you referring? Btw, are you a liberal?

[JDashHen]

God. The president is NOT commander in chief of the country. He is commander in chief of the military. This is so sad that she said that.

[ufund]

This should be called Beauty and the Beast. Helen Thomas is, and has been for years, THE DUMBEST member of the fourth estate. Go home Helen, you pathetic troll.

[ketexan]

Yes innocent people have died in Iraq! Iraq is a WAR in any WAR there will be civilian deaths. That is the nature of WAR! Why doesn't she ask how many innocents terrorists have killed? Because the only people liberals want to blame are American troops! Where is the outrage for the 3000+ innocent people killed on 9-11? or for the innocent that die everyday from suicide bombers? Where is the outrage for the enemy?

[smgumby]

What a lying sack of cute that Dana Perino is.

[kluikens]

Helen Thomas is the only true journalist still left in that room. What an amazing person!

It's hard to watch Dana Perino even speak. Gosh, she tends to be so ignorant and has an inability to be articulate.

[Toddo31]

"IF" we have killed innocent people?? IF????

She won't even admit that any innocent people have been killed, are being killed in Iraq.

[drewby613]

We live in a republic, not a direct democracy Helen. No, the American people don't get to vote directly on troop levels in Iraq. Go back to civics class, and do not collect $200.

[Colliflower13]

Then will the Bush administration please stop referring to the government as a democracy?

[drewby613]

If you were replying to me, remember I said we do not live in a "direct democracy." We do live in a "representative democracy." (See Wikipedia under "democracy.") My point was that it's not enough to have a majority of Americans against the war (according to polls) to mandate that the war should end. As a senior journalist, Helen Thomas should know that. Congress can defund a war. The Democrats are in the majority in congress; Helen Thomas should be upbraiding THEM for failing to do so.

[Colliflower13]

I was replying to whoever said "it's a republic not a democracy."

I think Helen Thomas understands the system of government..I should hope so, at least, considering her vast experience. Besides that, she calls Congress cowards in forums where the focus is not on the White House (as at a White House press conference).

[Colliflower13]

I guess it was you who said that. And I doubt that political rhetoric will ever switch the words republic with democracy...which was my point. I don't think Helen Thomas thinks that the people get to vote on troop levels, but I think her point is that the administration should be accountable to the people.

[drewby613]

"Republic" vs, "democracy" was enviroterrorist.

HT: "I think the American people have a say." DP: "They elected a Commander in Chief, and he's following the advice of commanders on the ground."

HT: "Do you think that was the vote of the American people?"

Which vote? That the Am people didn't elect a CIC? No. Must be: whether the Am people voted for Bush to follow the commanders [and stay in Iraq]. That can't be voted on my the American people. She knows it--she's just ankle-biting.

[ddsnively]

An honor to question this administration?

Give me a friggin' break!

This Perino broad lies as good as the rest of that lyin' sack of bush shit administration

[z57looker]

The YouTube crowd certainly thinks alike. Yep, good ole groupthink! I do so love originality. Air America needs you.

For those that give lucid respectful comments, I thank you.

Listen, times are tough. I think they are especially tough for those kids left behind, widowed or orphaned after 911. They come closest to innocent. But no one in Iraq is innocent. Still, it is better to handle this threat over there than here. Please... What a bunch of sore winners.

[wcduke]

No one in Iraq is innocent? What do you mean?

[ehackster]

These are the same people that voted for Bush, then Bush again, then Mccain
