I’m home sick, and I don’t feel like blogging right now. Hopefully I’ll be up to it again soon. Just turned on the TV, though, and see an actual press conference with Ari Fleischer. He really handles Helen Thomas with such inhuman patience. First he slowly explains to her that if we wanted Iraq’s oil, we’d just lift the sanctions. Then, when Thomas kept trying to refer to a “report” that America plans to take the Iraq oil, he patiently pressed her for what report, to which she just answered “it’s everywhere” and “it’s in all the papers” without coming up with any specifics. I think he knew she imagined the report, but it was nice he didn’t say so.
Oh, and there is another reporter named Dana Bash. Wouldn’t that be a great name for the She-Hulk?
“Dana, BASH!”
Welll, I’m going back to bed. See ya later.
It blows my mind when I see how patient Ari is with Helen. I’m sitting there, watching these stoooopid questions and I’m duct taping my head while the most violent scenarios pour through. I have yet to see Helen at a Rummy press briefing, I don’t think there’d even be a grease spot left. It’s no wonder you’re sick, you probably weren’t standing behind your stupid shield and were exposed to direct, unfiltered Helen rays. Or it could be you’re drained from the weekly DR briefing. I walk around for hours after I read one, chuckling whenever agood line comes back. Great stuff. M
Get well soon, Frank. We all need your daily dose(s) of humor!
Sickness sucks – get well soon! 🙂
Helen Thomas sounds kinda like my great-grandma: old, barely functioning, and having to be constantly reminded of who she’s talking to, bless her heart. I think everybody secretly wishes she would just hurry up and die already, but she’s too ornery. I get my stubborness from her side of the family.
Frank, hon, feel better soon!
As Fred said, we need your humor to face this war!
Get well soon, Imperial Minister of War. We’ve got a big one starting any day now and without you and the Don by our side, it just isn’t the same!
