Helen Thomas: Condi a 'Monster,' 'G--damn Liar'
President Bush's decision to nominate Condoleezza Rice received widespread praise from both Democrats and Republicans.
But longtime White House Bureau Chief Helen Thomas, now a syndicated columnist with Hearst, had nothing but contempt for Rice's nomination. The feisty 84-year-old reporter who started at the White House during the Kennedy administration had some unkind words to describe Bush and Condi.
NewsMax bumped into Thomas in the lobby of New York's Waldorf-Astoria as she waited for a lunch date.
Asked about the election result, the sharp-tongued reporter simply put her hand on her face and said, "My God, the man is a fascist -- a fascist, I tell you."
She warned that Bush's victory will mean one thing: more war. She expects Iran to be next.
But surely Thomas, a female reporter who succeeded decades ago in a "man's world," had some empathy about Condi's appointment.
As we suggested the notion, a look of horror came over Thomas' face.
"I tell you, the women is a monster, a monster, a monster," she kept saying.
Asked why she was so angry with Condi, Thomas explained that the national security adviser had lied about the Iraq war and "thousands had died."
Thomas, to her credit, has asked tough questions of both Democrat and Republican presidents during her long tenure in the White House press corps, but some of her anger seemed more personal.
For decades, Thomas held the privileged front-row seat in the pressroom and usually got to ask the first question. Now she says she is back in the last row and "Bush is afraid to take my questions."
Fair enough, but the venom for Condi?
When NewsMax referred to some of Condi's positive achievements, Thomas kept interjecting "monster" to describe her. "The lady is a goddamn liar," Thomas said, adding that such prevaricators were commonplace in the Bush White House.
Nor was Thomas impressed that Condi, an African-American woman, had risen from segregated Alabama to become the most powerful woman in the nation.
Thomas rejected that, too, claiming that Condi's family had opposed Dr. Martin Luther King and that she and her folks had not supported the civil rights movement. In fact, Thomas then made the bizarre claim that Condi's family wouldn't even patronize black-owned stores.
Thomas had little substantiation for any of these allegations.
Nor for some very vague allegations about the Bush family, which she said would "stop at nothing" to deal with its enemies.
Michael Moore, please call Helen Thomas. She is ready to help with your next movie!

This treatment Condi Rice is already recieving has convinced me that Liberals arent going to reach across the table or anything else. They are just interested in fighting, and holding things up in congress as usual. I expect there will be alot of arguments, fights and alot of the Name calling and bad treatment towards the Republicans from the left. I cant wait till the 109th congress is sworn in.

hehehe silly Marie...Helen Thomas WAS in Michael Moore's last documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11--in a video clip in which she asked then speaker Ari Fleischer about the Bush family's connection to the arms producers, the Carlyle Group...hmmm I musta seen that movie too much, gotta go back to watching The Breakfast Club. ;)
Soggy Dem:
Well that explains alot j/k.
I truly hope you didnt believe that hokey pokey he (Michael Moron) tried to plant in your brain. But Helen Thomas was a White House corespondent for I think it was ABC news before she went on to do whatever it was she was doing before she starred in Farenheit 9-11. The Woman had NO business disrespecting Dr. Rice no matter what the hell she think's. Calling her a liar as if it had been done intentionally and being racialy discrinminitoty is not what I expect to hear from some 84 year old journalist that expects or demands any kind of respect she gets none from me. And after so many lies I could point out after the first 10 minutes of Farenheit 9-11 I quit watching Mostly, so I dont know if she starred in it or not. I wouldnt doubt it witch that she is. And I'm not quite sure I said she was or was not in the movie and quite frankly I dont give a rats ass. Enjoy the Breakfest Club lol, that's going way back.
Nm I just saw your page, lmao Michael Moore already got to you! Shame I thought you were brighter than that!
