Helen Thomas Should Be Ashamed of Herself: Who Is She To Ask Questions?!

A lot of my liberal friends thought that Bill O'Reilly naming far left journalist Helen Thomas a "Pinhead" in his "Pinheads and Patriots" segment last night for her confrontation with White House Press Secretary Dana Perino, was some kind of a joke.

MS. PERINO: Helen, I find it really unfortunate that you use your front row position, bestowed upon you by your colleagues, to make such statements. This is a -- it is an honor and a privilege to be in the briefing room, and to suggest that we, at the United States, are killing innocent people is just absurd and very offensive.

THOMAS: Do you know how many we have since the start of this war?
MS. PERINO: How many -- we are going after the enemy, Helen. To the extent that any innocent Iraqis have been killed, we have expressed regret for it.
THOMAS: Oh, regret. It doesn't bring back a life.

O'Reilly had no choice to point out the pinheadiness of Thomas.
