Thomas was given reasonable answers until her increasingly ridiculous follow up "questions" got to the point that she was rightfully shut down so someone else could have the floor.

The Bush Administration's Press Secretaries have shown contempt for the press time after time after time. You aren't actually going to argue this point, are you?
Weary of playing the same "dumb games?" How is that not contempt? You don't have to like Helen Thomas, but our current President is constantly initiating such "dumb games" (and through his Press Secretary and in this very instance).
Yes, rightfully shut down so that someone else could ask something she wanted to answer or else be shut down themselves.
