Tony Snow smacks down Helen Thomas : Lone Star Times

Tony Snow smacks down Helen Thomas

by Matt Bramanti · 05/31/2006 3:21 pm

Helen Thomas — no shocker here — got a little mean with Tony Snow yesterday. Tony Snow — no shocker here — illustrated that he’s not only smarter than Ms. Thomas, but more likeable as well:

Miss Thomas: Why did the president pick a man who is so contemptible of the public servants in Washington to be his domestic adviser, saying, ‘People in Washington are morally repugnant, cheating, shifty human beings.’ Why did he …

Mr. Snow: You meant contemptuous as opposed to contemptible, I think.

Miss Thomas: Pure contempt.

Mr. Snow: I’m not sure it’s pure contempt. I know Karl Zinsmeister pretty well, and he is somebody who expresses himself with a certain amount of piquancy. You’re perhaps familiar with that, aren’t you, Helen?

Heh.

If the chronology was right, I would swear that the Helen Thomas of today was the model for the dumpy, warted witches I saw in cartoons from the 1950s and 1960s.

Helen will now be refered to as TWGUIADMTDAVTRWB™. (The word generally used in a derogatory manner to describe a vagina that rhymes with hunt.) Some may add the adjective “Old” in front of it too.

Nice come back Tony to the Old TWGUIADMTDAVTRWB™.

RickG: She could have been the poster girl for birth control.(?)

I read a more complete version of the interview. SMACK DOWN! It is so nice to see someone trying to enforce a little respect. Disagree and engage in intellectual discourse on relevant topics, but keep your sniveling little ego to yourself. What a TWGUIADMTDAVTRWB, the really OLD version.

4 malcolm:

The images invoked by your latter comment made me shiver. . .and not in a good way!

By the way, stick a corn-cob pipe between her lips and she could also pass for Popeye.

Did she propogate?

I sincerly hope not! And with whom? Yikes! There isn’t enough beer on the planet! Can’t imagine what the offspring would look like? There must not be a unbroken mirror within fifty miles of her house! Could she have possibly have “starred” in the 1950’s movie Cinderella?

P.S. I know we shouldn’t judge people by their looks. She’s probably a very nice person on the inside. To end this….As Rorscach would say: “Heh!”

She’d better be nice or a house might fall on her….

To look at her face, I thought one already had….

This is a pretty childish thread. Discounting the question that Thomas asked by resorting to infantile name calling. It was really “clever”, the way the long jumble of letters is substituted for a foul word (if your mothers heard you say such a word you would get your mouth washed out with soap). Really classy.
