Bret Hume compares Gannon to Helen Thomas
There must be something to this story for faux to be defending Gannon, but to compare him to Helen Thomas? He said that there was nothing different than what Helen Thomas did which brought laughter from the others.

It is amazing.

1. Helen's a real Journalist....................
or at the very least WAS, she does still have a column. Gannon/Guckert can't spell Journalist.

Brit Hume is a FOX whore, the same as the rest of the bunch on that awful channel. Stuff it Brit.

2. I made this point on Thomas the other day
Helen Thomas has asked very tough questions of every single president since she started covering the White House 40+ years ago. That's her job and it should be the job of every single correspondent there, as the WH press corps is supposed to be the cream of the crop.

5. Nothing different other than
Nothing different other than 57 years reporting experience, a college degree from Wayne University and several books (that she WROTE, not just read) under her belt.

Nope. No difference.

12. They don't dare to laugh AT him...
... at least, not while on the air.

They are a comical group. Brit is their ringmaster. The core group is Brit, his geldings Mort Kondrake and Fred What's-His-Name, and Mara Liasson (who, on that show, is like Dorothy in the wicked witch's castle--tormented.) Then there are the other part-timers such as Bill Kristol (may he rot in hell along with his traitorous father), and the personification of evil, Charles Krauthammer (did you ever see such a good example of someone who wears his evil soul on his gargoyle-like face?)

The whole thing looks like an enactment of Dante's Inferno.

11. Hume's remarks are ridiculous even for Fox
Goebbels at least knew that effective propaganda could not stretch the fabric of credibility. This does.

14. No Helen Thomas was trashed by the White House for ....
Edited on Sun Feb-13-05 10:46 AM by Botany
...... asking about this ......

"According to a new book, three independent sources close to the Bush family report that Governor Bush was arrested in 1972 for cocaine possession, and taken to Harris County Jail, but avoided jail or formal charges through an informal diversion plan involving community service with Project P.U.L.L., an inner city Houston program for troubled youths at the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center in Houston's dirt-poor Third Ward. (In another new book, reporter Bill Minutaglio, writes that the year of community service was arranged by the Governor's father, ex-president Bush, after he caught Bush Jr. driving drunk.)

That year certainly is out of character with the rest of Bush Jr.'s life. Before and after 1972, he was a rich, hard drinking playboy. Suddenly, and only that one time in his life, he worked for a liberal charity in an inner city ghetto. As soon as the year was over, he resumed his previous pattern and has done no charity work since. "

Gannon was a gay hustler whose was a plant to manipulate the message heard
by the American public, along with all the other crap he is linked to. The gay
part of that is totally pertinent because of the way gays were used in the last campaign.
They were the new "Red Menace," McCarthyism lives on and is high tech under these
neo con shits.

Mangate = bush poison

We have to push this issue. The other side knows this as well ..... Look at the
way the media is avoiding this topic or sending out spin controll.

15. Brit Hume probably thinks he (himself) is comparable to Helen Thomas.
He would be deluding himself.

17. Brit stinks
I thought yesterday he was comparing Gannon to Mark Twain and now Helen. It must be a way to elevate this miscreant.
I was just saying in the Plame thread how the righties were laughing about how biased Helen was/is. I replied that at least she asked pertinent questions. This fact escapes the right who only think tearing down democrats and praising * are required. The guy I talked to called her a big fat ugly woman in the red dress. I guess that makes Jeffy really somebody.
They're scared propagandists, that's all.

18. Don't forget Gigot as a lead member of the PNAC Death Cult.

He was sitting in for the Smirking Kristol today.

I just imagined what Hume would have been saying had
it been a liberal blogger who did what Gannon/Guckert
did.

That's all I need to know.
