Journalist of the day: Helen Thomas

Dana Milbank - Washington Sketch - washingtonpost.com:
Helen Thomas is 89 years old and requires some assistance to get to and from the daily White House briefing. Yet her backbone has proved stronger than that of the president she covers....

"Has the president given up on the public option?" she inquired from her front-row-middle seat....

"...[W]hy do you keep asking me?" Gibbs inquired.

"Because I want your conscience to bother you," Thomas replied.



Let's just give her a lifetime achievement Best Journalist award, come to think of it.
