4. This story is amazing ~ a must read!

One of the best things that DU has ever done!

Question: I tried to rate the story but I'm not sure I did it correctly.
Do you have to register to rate it or do you wave your mouse over the word Recommend and click when you see the degree that you want to rate?

14. I think you have to register so you can login.

It won't let me rate it unless I log in first. So I think you would have to register with Yahoo (if you aren't yet registered) so you could login and then recommend the story by clicking on one of the stars under the word "recommend."

5. Great "viral" distribution

It's a great pic, and one of the first threads I saw before I joined DU. I thought it was a great thing for DU to do. A woman of her age has the chutzpah to ask GW the tough question that everyone else was afraid to ask.

This is one of the reasons I joined DU.

9. Glad to have you on board Late Slip!!

DU is an absolute necessity for anyone involved in the salvation of our Nation.
Glad to have your input, and you'll soon be amazed as to the great minds and investigative truth tellers here on DU..
We "take no prisoners" when it comes to speaking out on behalf of this planet and this great America of ours..
Please follow us through the November elections and on to the Impeachment of George Bush..

We have kind hearts here on DU and we have "smarts and smart asses, too!"

We're humorous and we're dead-serious & quick to point out the obvious as to bushco. And we back it up with facts and links as to our source..if you don't know something "for certain"..you can be sure someone in DU does know and is eager to asssist..

Welcome and glad to meet you!
BLAZE

13. BIG APPLAUSE FOR helderheid!!

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Hi helderdoll! (LOL)

[Catrina]

15. Wow! This is so great ~ I hope other reporters see how much a real

reporter is appreciated and that it might inspire a few of them to do their jobs.

Clarity deserves so much credit for doing this ~ I think Helen will remember it all of her life ~ it was a beautiful thing to see, and her not was so lovely.

Du is the best ~ :applause: :applause:

I voted, but don't know if it went through. Anyway it had 31 votes ~ and was at 4 and a half stars ~

16. DU not mentioned?

[mdmc]

17. i've read this story before, with du mentioned

it was edited out.:shrug:

[goclark]

21. I know how you feel but maybe

its fine that we were not mentioned at Yahoo!

We wouldn't want them to think we were the Best On The Web! :)

The glory really belongs to Helen.

[mdmc]

23. it is very weird

they didn't do a good editing job
"she saw a post on , " du was before the ","

you are very correct, this is not about du.

[Horse with no Name]

22. That does suck but

this story was ALWAYS about Helen, not about DU.

[helderheid]

20. Man that sucks. I didn't catch that until you pointed it out.

18. YEEE-HAAWW for YAAAA-HOOO....
