It was Dubya the frat boy who made Helen Thomas sit at the back of the room instead of the front row at press conferences.

We saw 24/7/365 days of nonstop "news" about Clinton and Monica. We saw nonstop news about Biden's one poor performance in a debate.

I don't watch TV news. I gave that up the first time this idiot was in office. I haven't had cable for 18 years.
