Unless I’m missing it, it doesn’t look like Helen Thomas got to ask a question during Pres. Bush’s final press conference yesterday. She was there. (Front row. Center. In red.) I wonder what she would have asked if she’d gotten one last crack…

Glad someone pointed out how scared Bush is of an 88 year old woman with a press pass.

Eight years of snubs and demonization by the jugheads who ran this country into the ground were crystalized by that egregious snub by the "Boy King" on the Grand Dame of the Press Corps. I know that in his first presser as President, PResident-elect Obama will restore her dignity and honor by calling on her first, as it should be.
you don't treat an icon like that,
