Thomas And Snow Helen Thomas deserves some respect for a multitude of reasons. She has asked the hard questions of Republican and Democratic presidents. So now she is heckling???

Press secretary Tony Snow asked journalist Helen Thomas to "stop heckling" at Friday's White House press briefing, as she asked questions about news reports that the federal government is tapping a large international database to search financial records of thousands of Americans in order to find terror ties.

"Helen, will you stop heckling and let me conduct the press conference?" Snow said to the sound of laughter.

"Well no, I'm making an argument and you're pestering the teacher," Snow added.

Go see the video here.

She is doing her job. Snow is doing Bush's job of spin.

Damn.
