    Of course you all do realize that those cupcakes were paid for with American tax dollars, don't you? There is just no stopping this man.

    I’m certain Helen silently birthday-wished for President Obama to give at least one non-cupcake answer to her burning questions regarding Bush/Cheney war crimes…and those "uncountable" Israeli nukes…in her remaining White House Daily Brief lifetime.

    Of course when Helen said "Thank you, Mr. President," all the older reporters left the room, assuming the event was over.

    This means Thomas has been part of the conspiracy since Day One, right?

    Actually Obama's mother chose Helen Thomas' birthday because she knew that once Barack grew up to be president he would share this photo op with her. The plot thickens...

    "...President Obama, who incidentally shares the day with Queen Elizabeth II..."

    What? The Queen was born in Kenya, too?

    UK Birthers, REPRESENT!

    How awkward that Helen Thomas chose today to forget to put her teeth in or wear a bra!
    I'm going to hell for that, right?

    In all seriousness, it makes me really happy, after the amount of petty crap the Bush administration visited on her, to see Thomas getting treated with respect and affection. Happy Birthday, Helen. Rock on.

    You, too, Barack.

    @MissNormaDesmond: She's wonderful. Loved the bit she did with Colbert for his notorious/celebrated Correspondents' Dinner. Also, I suspect Pareene might do the NYT Crossword, where Helen was the clue for "Doyenne" recently..

    @Baroness: Yes - I was just on YouTube looking for that very clip. I found it in part 3 of the correspondents dinner, but I can't seem to find an edited video with just that bit.
    Well, I'll just plop the whole thing on here. The Helen stuff is around mins 4 to 8.

    I'm almost positive someone 89 shouldn't have sugar or willingly wear red lipstick, but pearls on an older lady always says class to me.

    Does anybody have video of Pres. Bush singing Happy Birthday to Jeff Gannon while handing him a plate of BagelDogs?

    You guys are going to be eating humble pie with whipped crow on top when the truth finally comes out that he was really born in Saskatchewan. Btw... Bill Clinton just got the journalists pardoned in n. korea.
