Where Was Helen Thomas?
What the heck was that? A news conference? I don't think so. The order of calling on reporters was scripted and the answers were either memorized or read from notes. From the Washington Post on March 7, 2003:

"In this case, we know what the questions are going to be, and those are the ones we want to answer," Bartlett said. "We think the public will see the thought and care and attention he's given to a lot of the different questions that are being asked about the diplomatic side and the military side and the potential post-Iraq issue. These are all legitimate questions that he has answers for and wants to talk about."

The current President of the United States is apparently incapable of speaking to the public in his own words without saying something like 'dead or alive'. This wouldn't be so bad if he or his administration told the truth when scripting his speeches. Apparently Helen Thomas has been annoying the Administration lately, particularly when she mentioned that she thought President Bush was "the worst President ever."
