Helen Thomas Moving Back After 46 Years Down Front

Every theater-style seat in the White House briefing room, now closed for renovation, had a brass plaque inscribed with the name of a news organization. Only one, in the middle of the front row, had a name: HELEN THOMAS, it said. The unique assigned seat between the chairs for CBS News and ABC News was reserved for the legendary United Press International correspondent who is now a columnist for Hearst Newspapers. The press corps is scheduled to move from temporary facilities back into the spiffed-up, rewired briefing room in May or June. Thomas, who has been questioning presidents and press secretaries for 46 years, plans to be there. But her front-row seat wont be. Plans call for her to be moved to the second row to make room for a cable news channel a sign of Washingtons changing pecking order, and of the new ways that Americans get their news.
I didnt think I had a monopoly on that seat, Thomas, 86, said in a telephone interview. Since my peers have decided that I dont belong there, Ill bow to their Ill drink the What did Socrates drink? Hemlock? Ill drink it, she said.

You are a sick man. Either that, or you REALLY need to visit your optometrist.

She'll retire if the Democrats win, just like Sam Donaldson.

Ill drink the What did Socrates drink? Hemlock? Ill drink it Looking at her face I'd say whatever she drinks, it's followed by a rum chaser.

Helen Thomas is no longer a reporter. She's a bitter old biddie that uses her past reputation as a means to heckle the administration.

Is this the same sweet and charming Helen that doesn't believe Vince Foster plugged himself?

Reminds me of the scene in Tootsie where they asked the cameraman how far back could he pull to make her more attractive and the cameraman says, "how about Cleveland".

She's got marks all over her body where folks keep touching her with a ten-foot pole. She's so ugly, they filmed "Gorillas in the Mist" in her shower. She's so ugly, when she tried to enter an ugly contest, they said "Sorry, no professionals." She's so ugly, her picture is on the inside of a Roach Motel. She's so ugly, her dentist treats her by mail-order. She's so ugly, the government moved Halloween to her birthday. She's so ugly that when they took her to the Beautician it took 10 hours....and that was just for the quote!

The day she stopped being a reporter and started being a columnist was the day she should have been kicked out of the press room and not let back.

Helen baby... do not you know that nothing you rear touches in the White House is made of granite with your name carved upon?
Now with porcelain or even better rotting wood... that is more your niche... found in the house of the half-moon.
