From Drudge:

President Bush today again avoided taking a question from White House doyenne Helen Thomas during his 45-minute press conference, even though he took questions from every reporter around her front-row, center seat.

"He's a coward," Thomas said afterward. "He's supposed to be this macho guy. He'll take on Osama bin Laden, but he won't take me on."

Thomas, who worked as the UPI White House reporter for 57 years and is now a columnist, raised her hand every time the president was concluding an answer to a reporter's question, but he never called on her.

Thomas, who worked as the UPI White House reporter for 57 years and is now a columnist, raised her hand every time the president was concluding an answer to a reporter's question, but he never called on her.

She had a few questions in mind, though. "I wanted to ask about Iraq: 'You said you didn't go in for oil or for Israel or for WMDs. so why did you go in?' "

Um, I don't know? Maybe because you call him childish names, even though HE'S THE PRESIDENT, and you ask the same patronizing questions over and over again for three years?

Duh!

Maybe it's just part of King George's never ending screening process out of the "hand-picked school of audiences"! Gotta kiss his ass to get a question answered? Maybe it just shows how that putz couldn't answer a question without being rehearsed to save his miserable ass!

I dunno TB. I listened to the news conference. Didn't sound to me like all the many "kiss his ass" questions. Most seemed fairly antagonistic. I'm sure that the weren't mean enough for you. But not very friendly.

Maybe now but the WH press has kissed his ass for most of his admin.

Maybe if she were a serious journalist instead of a partisan crank, she'd get some attention.

Bush is no coward. He is the first one with the cajones to ignore this old terrorist supporter.

It seems obvious that when we post our opinions under a troll name we have no business talking about cajones.

The President, or anyone hosting a press conference for that matter, is not going to pick people known to repeatedly put him into adverse situations -- especially someone like dubya, who is notorious for carefully screening questions prior to having a conference.

Maybe it's more professional this way; maybe its messed up, as it doesn't leave much room to discuss any potential weaknesses in the Republican agenda. But either way, at the end of the day, it's just one of the many perks of being the one to call the shots. It's good to be the king, er...I mean President.

Compared to Thomas, Coulter is such a class act:

NEW YORK Universal Press Syndicate columnist Ann Coulter "joked" during a Thursday speech that liberal Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens should be poisoned. "We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens' creme brulee," Coulter said at Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Ark. "That's just a joke, for you in the media."

Quote of the day - Ann Coulter

"We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens' creme brulee - - that's just a joke, for you in the media."
