Helen Thomas Ain't Cool

That's right I said it...


Part of her charm is the fact that she has been reporting at the White House for so long. Ms. Thomas has covered the Executive Branch all the way back to Kennedy.

Now, I am fascinated by history and politics so this woman's life initially interested me. I was so intrigued by Ms. Thomas that I picked up a copy of her book, "Thanks For The Memories, Mr. President."

What a waste.

If Helen Thomas was waiting in a room with the likes of Kim Jong-Il, Ludacris, and Terrell Owens Ms. Thomas would easily win the "Most Egotistical Award."

The stories presented in "Thanks For The Memories, Mr. President" became less about the presidents and more about dear Helen's past 40 years on this planet.

It seemed like in each chapter Ms. Thomas relished the fact that Presidents wait for her to say "Thank You, Mr. President" before they can leave the press conference. We get it Helen! You have your little saying... get off it.

Now, there is nothing wrong with being confident in yourself and I support a strong press. But space is limited at these press conferences. We need the most able individuals asking the questions. Keeping Ms. Thomas around... purely for tradition... is not serving the American Republic.

Now, once again her true colors are shown in a recent outburst with Tony Snow.

It is time that Ms. Thomas retires. The woman is 86 years old and should spend some time with her grandkids.

But please let her retire quietly. No need for tributes.


I suggest Peter Wallsten (aka The Blind Dude Bush insulted) as Helen Thomas' replacement. Why? Because the man is a pure badass for, despite being unable to see, dressing a lot better than I can.

PW kicking ass and taking names!
