"Bone Deep Intellectual Bankruptcy"
Jonah Goldberg comments on some emailers' attempts to defend Helen Thomas:
This is a perfect example of how ideological ardor can color judgement. In Washington, Helen Thomas has been a bipartisan joke for decades. She's nasty, untalented and deeply, deeply biased. She was when she was a "reporter." And she is now. People defer to her because she's an "institution." That anyone could hate-Bush (or what I had to say in his defense) so much as to lionize Helen Thomas is a sign of bone-deep intellectual bankruptcy or just plain ignorance.
Once again, if the Dems could only realize how much better off they'd be without such clowns as Thomas speaking for them, conservatives would be in an even hotter frying pan than the one we're currently in.

She's creepy, alright. My reading is that dems are deeply dissatisfied with the MSM (as much so, or more than, the republicans), and Thomas, creepy as she is, at least doesn't share their sins.
As you and Jonah note, though, she has sins aplenty of her own.
