Some of you young’ins might not know who she was, but Helen was quite the figure at every White House press conference, and she was a force to be reckoned with! She made life pretty miserable for almost every President for several decades…not afraid to ask the difficult questions, often over and over and over again.
In what has been (and still is, for the most part) a boys club of journalists in the White House Press Corp, Helen paved the way for more female journalists to join the club.

And yeah, that could be a short definition of Helen Thomas…I will miss her presence in the front row of those press conferences. Never a dull moment when she was there!
I don’t consider that a threadshit…as mentioned, cantankerous would be an apt description of her as well. She had her share of enemies, and many of them were Presidents.
Also not meaning to thread excrete, but am I the only person who thought she had already crossed the Shining River? I suppose it was just her retirement.
Did she have a history of that kind of crap or was this a one of a kind thing?
I’m not saying that makes it any better but my folks are getting on and they say stuff that’s pretty bizarre. The doctors say they’re slowly losing it and this kind of thing will continue.
