Barack Beats out Tricky Dick

Crazy old lady/grande dame Helen Thomas of the White House press corps:

Following a testy exchange during today’s briefing with White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas told CNSNews.com that not even Richard Nixon tried to control the press the way President Obama is trying to control the press.

“Nixon didn’t try to do that,” Thomas said. “They couldn’t control (the media). They didn’t try.

“What the hell do they think we are, puppets?” Thomas said. “They’re supposed to stay out of our business. They are our public servants. We pay them.”

I guess blame Bush is over. This woman is on to her next rant. Awk, she sounds like a libertarian or something. Maybe we should invite her to the tea parties. She and Garafalo.

But really, who can stand that smarmy Gibbs guy. He must really suck up to Obama, and The One eats it up. Ick.

I look forward to the day when Barack gets booed at a Sox game. Go Sox.
