SUMMARY: The Washington Post's Howard Kurtz wrote about President Bush's exchange with syndicated columnist Helen Thomas during Bush's March 21 news conference, in which he claimed that by calling on Thomas "for the first time in three years," Bush found "a useful foil" that allowed him "not only to punch back but to show the country that he's up against a left-wing press corps."
