Lawmaker Mocks 85-Year-Old Reporter's Appearance (Helen Thomas..........) WNBC.COM ^ Lawmaker Mocks 85-Year-Old Reporter's Appearance Helen Thomas Has Covered White House For Nearly 50 Years POSTED: 10:01 am EDT June 22, 2006 DES MOINES, Iowa -- An Iowa congressman has apologized for disparaging comments he made about a veteran White House correspondent. Republican Steve King was discussing the death of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Saturday at the state Republican convention when he mentioned 85-year-old Helen Thomas. King said about Zarqawi, "There probably are not 72 virgins in the hell he's at." He went on to say, "And if there are, they probably all look like Helen Thomas." A spokeswoman for the two-term congressman said in an e-mail that King has apologized to Thomas.

I missed this part....it's a 1 day fast! Heck, how many people fast for a day for routine medical procedures? In her latest statement, Sheehan wrote that celebrities like singer Willie Nelson, actor Danny Glover and comedian Dick Gregory will show their support for her by joining in a one-day fast. Is this Cindy's Jump the shark moment?
