#1 A major victory in the GWOT.

#2 As far as I'm concerned, it won't be a real victory until she's returned to her REAL rightful place, squatting on a ledge at the National Cathedral. With the rest of the gargoyles.

#4 When dealing with that face, the extra ten feet probably helps...

#5 Explain to me why, with the internet for the WH to communicate directly with the people and no need to have their words corrupted spun by self-important third rate column fillers, do they need the briefing room? If you want contact with the press, then by all means have an office to coordinate one on one's with the President. If you want to get a story out, then invite one or two to a WH luncheon or dinner setting. If you really think you need to talk to a bunch, then do it outside in the rain or slush. You think some of the garbage behavior would alter?

#6 Mr Ricardo, that is cruel. Remember, she is someones daughter (ok, someone from the late Paleolithic), but a daughter nevertheless.

#7 Tony UK. Late Palaeolithic... Naw, she is the last surviving dinosaur, taken in and fostered by lemurs when the meteor struck the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico at the end of the Cretaceous...

#8 I could care less if she was Jesus' daughter. She is still a howling moron. And a ugly one at that.

#10 “I didn’t think I had a monopoly on that seat,” Thomas, 86, said in a telephone interview. “Since my peers have decided that I don’t belong there, I’ll bow to their – I’ll drink the – What did Socrates drink?” Hemlock?

“I’ll drink it,” she said. “You have to submit to the will of the people, and apparently this is the will of my peers. It’s OK with me. I’ve had a good run in the front seat.”

Don't make promises you have no intention of keeping, Helen. It just makes you a tease.
Besides, there are much more faster acting products on the market these days...

#11 She reminds me of the guy they found dead in his easy chair. He had been dead for a year and nobody knew it. I think they moved Helen because she has been dead for a long time--maybe most of her life.

#12 Why are we catering to the very people that misconstrue the words of the Administration? A vacant room and folding chairs would do quite nicely. Why spend the money on these liars?
