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.

Hmmm. Do you think Bush's secretaries show more or qualitatively different contempt for the press than other presidents? Are you suggesting that this particular press secretary's rather negative reaction to Helen THomas's rather silly questions (IMO) was something other than one person getting tired of dealing with another person? I am not sure you are wrong in your conclusions (although I don't share them) but I don't see evidence for them in the clip that was posted.
