"Why would you not be ashamed?"

This rhetorical question was posed by legendary journalist Helen Thomas during an interview with Andrew Denton regarding the lies told over and over again by Bush and his gang of liars. Thomas, whose tenure as White House reporter dates to the Kennedy administration, expresses shock over the media's complicity in propagandizing fear and failing to brandish the 'weapon of skepticism'. She also breaks down while discussing her husband's death from Alzheimer's in a rare moment of raw, unscripted humanity. The program ends on two words spoken by Thomas that ought to be a rallying cry for defenders of democracy around the world: "Ask why!"
