...the dean of the White House press corps....
Bah! A title of very very dubious distinction.

There were two valuable lessons I learned in the process of “outing” Helen Thomas as a hater ten years ago today. The first was the importance of making sure what a post is accurate because it can ruin someone’s career (what I posted was correct, and it ruined Ms. Thomas’ career). The other lesson is that mainstream media will do and say anything to protect one of their own. They protected her ten years ago, and many of them are still protecting her. Lid took down Helen Thomas.
My “association” with Helen Thomas began Friday, June 4th, 2010, when a friend Rabbi David Nesenoff sent me a video that contained a short explosive interview he had conducted with Helen Thomas at the White House on Jewish Heritage Day. The tape displayed the veteran White House correspondent telling the Jews to go face another Holocaust. “Go back to Germany or Poland,” she said, which was probably one of the more pleasant things Thomas publicly said about Jews during the last three years of her life.
David asked me if there was anything I could do with the video. He explained he’d already offered it to the mainstream media, Newsday, and even to The Jewish Week, a weekly progressive newspaper for the Jewish community. But no one wanted to take on Ms. Thomas, who at the time was seen as the dean of the White House press corps and very popular with her press corps colleagues, a feeling many of them still have ten years later.

...the dean of the White House press corps....

She was a vile human being.
I don’t miss pictures posted of her . . .ick!!!!! I always suspected she was a lebanese . . . . :)
That made her moist...
/sorry, couldn’t resist. :P
Wicked witch, she played the role, yes? /s
Even my cat was bugged out by her...
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
Why didn’t someone ever think to pour water on her?
Thomas was a truly vile witch. The way she exploited Martha Mitchell’s alcoholism and mental problems is probably her lowest point.
Yeah, she started ugly and got worse as she aged.
Ah, Long Jon . . . projecting your sadistic tendencies????!!!! I’m a good sport. . . LOL!!
