When Helen Thomas retires, I think Andrew Sullivan would be the perfect replacement.

When Helen Thomas retires, I think Andrew Sullivan would be the perfect replacement.
That would be genius, if Sullivan would accept. (and if
Helen retires)

					<IMG width="240" height="180" align="right" src="http://media.eyeblast.org/newsbusters/static/2009/10/helen_thomas.jpg" />Veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas, who has covered every president since Jack Kennedy, advised the White House to abandon their attacks on Fox News today. She attributed the administration's visceral reaction to attacks from Fox to a naive sense of invincibility generally held by new presidents (<B>video embedded below the fold)</B>.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/lachlan-markay/2009/10/19/helen-thomas-warns-white-house-quit-attacking-fox-news"><DIV>Asked by Joe Scarborough of MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' what "we want our president to know and do," in reference to the title of her new book, Thomas immediately replied "stay out of these fights...

"They feel so empowered, they can say anything, do anything." Such a sentiment would explain the White House's apparent shock that Fox would consistently question their major initiatives.
