Helen Thomas has been gabbing with a film crew this morning, according to Washington Times White House correspondent Christina Bellantoni.
Bellantoni just posted this on Twitter:
“Bobby Jindal was ‘pitiful,’ Helen Thomas tells film crew, right before making a ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ crack.”

Finally owning up to her designation as one of the nation’s worst governors, the beleaguered governor of Louisiana, Kathleen Blanco, bows out.
