So, Helen Thomas was shunned by President Bush at a press conference, because she was going to ask some "tough" questions of the president.
"She also had another question at the ready, just in case, this one about the president’s contention that a 28-year-old wiretapping law known as FISA is out of date, which prompted him to order the National Security Agency to conduct a secret electronic surveillance program that Democrats contend is illegal. ‘You keep saying it’s a 1978 law, but the Constitution 200 years old. Is that out of date, too?’"

Okay moron, the Constitution isn’t centered around technology. What a freaking misdirection.  Technology doesn’t change whether someone has the freedom of speech, or freedom from a state religion, etc.
However, many of the wiretapping bills were written during the rotary phone era, and were never extended to cell phones, and newer systems.
So when technology moves past the scope of the letter of the law, the law is out of date.

Her other "I was gonna ask him!" question is just as retarded, and misleading.

Helen Thomas, please spend your free time actually thinking before you speak. You’d save the rest of us the need to laugh at your inane statements.

Thank you.
