HELEN THOMAS: “This is the worst president ever,” she said. “He is the worst president in all of American history.”

Danny,

Don't get yer dander up. Sheesh. Just because you come across as some kind of a shallow hypocrite without a clue as to how you are getting snookered like the brown shirts did by Hitler you don't need to get your knickers in a twist about how I'm trying to educate you. You'd be far better off heeding my siren song that you and your lifestyle are being sold out for a bribe by the Boy King.

Here's a sage from the old school who agrees completely with me that the Boy King is the most vile occupant to ever infest this nation at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Helen Thomas is to be commended for doing something you so steadfastly refuse to engage in. She's telling the truth:

Doubting Thomas offers her press veteran’s take on state of presidency

As veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas signed my program Thursday evening at the Society of Professional Journalists’ annual awards banquet, I said, “First time I ever asked a reporter for an autograph.”

“Thank you, dear,” she said, patting my arm. “Don’t lose heart.”

Those are words that should be engraved at the bottom of every journalism degree. That’s because I’m not sure that any business can cause a heart to be lost or broken faster than this. And Thomas probably knows this better than anyone because she began reporting in 1943.

Thomas, in case you’ve never seen a presidential news conference, is the woman who has haunted every U.S. president since JFK.

I can’t, in fact, recall a news conference where she wasn’t standing hawk-like, grilling men who clearly didn’t want to be grilled by anyone, especially a woman.

Thomas, by the way, is the woman who said, “Thank you, Mr. President,” at the end of her very first press conference in 1961.

<FLUFF DELETED>

As she signed my program, I joked, “You sound worried.”

“This is the worst president ever,” she said. “He is the worst president in all of American history.”

The woman who has known eight of them wasn’t joking.
