Even though Bill O'Reilly called her the "Wicked Witch of the East," and Dubya moved her to the back row at press conferences and wouldn't call on her, despite the fact that she has been covering presidents in the white House since nineteen-freaking-sixty, Helen Thomas doesn't let it get her down. She's got that typical "I do what I want, I say what I want," attitude that so many elderly folks have learned to embrace, probably as a result of being put through the ringer for eightly-some-odd years.
MSNBC caught Thomas doing exactly what she wanted today, and the video can be seen over at Jezebel.com. If I'm ever an eighty-nine-year-old White House correspondant, I hope I have the balls to doze off, too.
