Time flies. I meant to note that on Friday, Ari Fleischer’s favorite reporter, Helen Thomas, accepted an award from Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington at their “Champions of Choice” lunch, celebrating those who have shown “extraordinary dedication” to “reproductive freedom.” (The PDF of the invitation is here.)

If you spent enough time at the Web site, you could also discover that one of the prizes in their fundraising “silent auction” was the chance to “Dine With Diane Rehm,” the nationally syndicated NPR talk show host.

That makes sense, since last year’s “Champions of Choice” lunch emcee was PBS “To the Contrary” host Bonnie Erbe. http://www.ppmw.org/events.htm
