The Helen Thomas pictures thrown into so many threads are tiresome
Apr 1, 2010 | self

Posted on 04/01/2010 8:24:51 AM PDT by tlb

Inspired by an interesting thread regarding an actor who refused to do love scenes with an attractive female actress. Inevitably somebody thinks its "funny" to throw in a picture of Helen Thomas. This extremely tiresome "joke" has been run into the ground.

Looking it up she was born in 1920. So every day someone feels the need to point how that a 90 year old woman isn't a babe. And we have to shout that out a dozen times a day in threads that have no relation whatsoever to the Washington Press Corps. Aren't we so clever.

It's nothing clever, it's nothing witty, it's nothing civil. It's just a low cheap shot. In theory aren't we supposed to be better then this. Can't we give it a rest, or at the very least stop with the off-topic use of the pictures.

I am surprised nobody made an animated gif with the right hand there.

She was actually pretty hot during the Johnson administration. Andrew, not Lyndon.

I think she is demonstrating the extreme techniques for preventing er...ahem..."wardrobe malfunctions"...

A most disturbing thought. Reminds me of the time when I was about 9 and someone said "your grandma and grandpa do it" and I went "huh?"

Who is the woman in the picture you posted? It appears to be a portrait from the 1920s.

Please get a grip. A little humor, especially now, can’t hurt.

As to Helen Thomas- who cares. Her stupidity, alone, makes her fodder, nevermind her obvious senility.

OK, since every thread featuring a hot babe eventually gets a pic of Helen, turnabout should be fair play....

It's of Helen Thomas (but not the one being refered to in this thread) ;)

From Here... Helen Thomas was from Sharon, Mercer County, PA. She was a junior at Westminster College in New Wilmington in 1932 when this photograph was taken.

Photo from the 1933 Argo, Westminster College yearbook.

"So every day someone feels the need to point how that a 90 year old woman isn't a babe."

We'll, I'm now told that 70 year old Nazi Pelosi is sexy according to the MSM. Is it not a stretch for them to think that Helen Thomas is a Babe?
