In this chapter, Helen Thomas regals us with her experience with the dozens of press secretaries that have garnished the press briefing room of the white house. She talks a lot about a few specific press secretaries, highlighting their qualities and faults. One quote that particularly struck me was "'The one quality that sets journalists apart from almost everyone is their intense belief in the value of journalism.'" When I read it, I chuckled. However, this is the only time I was really amused at all while reading the chapter.
After reading the first four chapters and looking at the remainder of the book, I'm inclined to believe that Christina is a sadist who makes us read this book for no other reason that delight in our pain. The reasons being that Helen rambles on and on about with meaningless nuiance. Even after years of critial thinking class, I still cannot disertain the point that she's trying to make. Is the a memoir? Is it a debunking document?
Dear Mrs. Thomas forgot the last rule of opinion writing, and I'm snoozing through my cereal.

The one quality that sets goats apart from everyone else is their intense belief in the importance of goats. Baaah. The one quality that sets me apart from everyone else is the intense belief that I am better than everyone else. I like your "Way" Nick.
