In reply to the discussion: I had dinner with Helen Thomas again last night [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)60. I would love to know how she is doing. A real journalist, casualty of the corporate takeover of our
'free press'.
I will never forget how she stood up to Bush when no one else had the guts to do it.
Ari Fleischer who belongs in jail with the rest of the war criminals, unbelievably had the gall to go after her. They never forgave her for making them look like the liars they were.
Too bad our own party didn't have the spine to stand up for her.

You have no idea what is going on. I was hoping to be spared the Helen Haters just this once.
