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

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.

Woah! That picture is like a train wreck. I wish I could undo watching it, however I could not look away. ;-(

Completely agree.

Old, tiresome, utterly unoriginal by now. Just like when Comcast keeps running those commercials with Shaq and the dwarf.

But the Thomas pic posters had a convention.

Here's the pic!

I like the pictures of HT. They are funny. It wouldn’t be Free Republic without them.

Hmmm, she has a strange smile & terrible nose..Even younger.. and heaven help us all.. Gravity/age is a bitch!

We make fun of her but it is hard to imagine someone still that active at 90. My mom’s age.. and well, mom looks better than HT but is pretty much bed/house bound & very limited on what she can do.

Did you find the pic of LBJ holding Helen up by her ears?

By the way, I think your research on this topic and pics are great.

Thank you for the link. That is by far the most beautiful Helen Thomas picture that we have ever seen. My wife noticed the lack of Lebanese features when I had her look at the picture which is why I asked. My wife’s mother graduated in 1932 also. We have a very similar portrait.
