Helen Thomas: Dumbest Liberal of the Week
Age: 87
Birthplace: Winchester, Kentucky
Claim To Fame: news service reporter, Hearst Newspapers columnist and member of White House Press Corps
Why She’s the Insane Liberal of the Week: for picking a fight with White House spokesperson Dana Perino this past week. In a press conference on Wednesday Thomas directly asked Perino about the “number of innocents killed in Iraqâ€â€”a tired line long used by liberals to paint our troops as nothing but mindless marauders. Mind you, Thomas, a journalist with over 50 years of experience in news, is the same woman who once said of President Bush: “I’m covering the worst president in American history.”
An obviously upset Perino took offense at Thomas’ line of questioning, apparently believing Thomas was suggesting that U.S. forces deliberately killed innocent Iraqis, a suggestion she called “absurd and very offensive.” Ms Perino acknowledged that “to the extent that any innocent Iraqis have been killed [by U.S. forces], we have expressed regret for it.” But that wasn’t good enough for Thomas as the old far-Left loon responded with “a regret doesn’t bring back a life.â€
No class. No shame. No integrity. And how sad it is when someone who is supposed to report the news tries to create it, but what else should one expect from a liberal hack posing as a journalist?
Dana Pico:
She’s from Winchester? I grew up in Mt Sterling, Kentucky, 15 miles east of Winchester, and I can tell you that nothing of any value ever came from Winchester!
The second worst thing to come from Winchester was Ale-8, a sort of flattish, ginger-flavored soft drink:
I may have been the only person in Mt Sterling who hated Ale-8, but it was justified: I called it Winchester skunk (urine), and that’s about what it tasted like.
There were Ale-8 vending machines, which dispensed the long-neck returnable bottles, where the entire machine had nothing but Ale-8 — and they stayed in business. Don’t ask me how, because the stuff is simply vile. It is not meant for human consumption.

How come you know what skunk urine smells like?

Is she the dumbest liberal of the week, or most insane? Which one?
My fragile little pinko mind is so confused. These conservative concepts are simply too much for me.

The old bat really needs to retire, and maybe find a new job, such as modelling for gargoyles, or something …
