I'm pretty sure they are, no matter their skin colors.

11. She is wonderful. Too bad she never got support |
|
her fellow journalists. When she was sent to the back of the room by Bush, the cowardly press corps should have refused to cover his press conferences until she was returned to her place. The Canadian press walked out when Harper I believe it was, decided to lay down the law as to what they could ask. So, rather than face an empty room, he had no choice but to forget that little attempt at press control.
Our press is a disgrace, I bet many of them agree with Helen, but will not stand up for her. And that is why it has been so easy to take over this country. 'Land of the Brave'! No.

14. Today i thought of the skit she did with Colbert, when he hosted... |
|
2006 White House Correspondents Association Dinner
Although it was not Colbert's funniest moment, it was glorious because of the setting, the visibility and bush's actual presence.
