Helen Thomas - At Her Worst

Helen Thomas (aka Madeleine Albright's less appealing look-alike, if that's possible) was finally given a chance to ask President Bush a question today. Now we know why the President doesn't bother calling on her. As Drudge reports, Thomas was at her most idiotic:

...why did you really want to go to war? You have said it wasn't oil -- quest for oil, it hasn't been Israel, or anything else. What was it?

Bush was too nice - all he had to do was say, "Just read the resolution that Congress passed - they spelled it out very clearly...and you're right, oil wasn't mentioned." Then Thomas asserted,

They [Iraq] didn't do anything to you, or to our country.

Again, Bush could have simply pointed her to the Congressional resolution. Hopefully she got her fill of ignorant questions because I'd rather see just about anyone in a press conference than her mug.
