I used to be the guy who posted Helen’s weekly column a few years ago, before I got tired of it. I don’t think you need a “HORRIFIC IMAGES!!!” subheader every time you post one. Anybody who made it to FR is already painfully aware of HT’s appearance.

You wouldn’t believe the messages people send when I don’t include the warning! :-)

Trust me, I’ve been there. I’ve even included warnings in the subheader like you. I’ve come to understand that when you do such things, you make it all about the vile woman’s looks, and not the hateful things that are coming out of her mouth. I’m all about posing things people are going to disagree with, so they can be properly rebutted. I just don’t like seeing it become an excuse to post fifty ugly pictures of a famously ugly woman. She knows she’s ugly.

Chortle.

Stopped reading right there. It's much better that way.

BTW, I understand through an email from Accuracy in Media that H.R. 533 is honoring our gal for her "unflagging and honest coverage of every president of the United States since John F. Kennedy."

Sorry if that is what the article is really about. I really did stop reading after your clever by line.

Helen circa 1960's with the Kennedy family nurse:

Whoa! How ironic is this??? An inaccuracy from Accuracy in Media???!!!??? The HR 533 for this term that I looked at isn’t sponsored by the Rep. named in the article at all, and doesn’t seem to be a resolution honoring our star reporter. Well...more to follow...

Ok, the crisis is over. It's House Resolution 533, not a bill. Here it is on Thomas.gov

I love this Helen Thomas ping list. It never fails to make me laugh and I am always amazed by FReepers’ creativity. Thank you, seanmerc, for making the effort for us. Any way you want to post it is fine with me.

It’s true we are all God’s children; but so was Judas. I think one of the Gospel writers called him a demon. Even Jesus called the pharisees names. Shall we call Helen a “whited wall” or viper instead?

No, I think Helen’s ugly thoughts and writings and all the disrespect she showed to President Bush warrant calling her names and making fun of her. She has done all she could as a “journalist” to damage the war effort and conservatism. If FReepers want to laugh at her expense, it’s okay with me!

Wow, all three of those women in that photo are “rather plain” and all have substantial noses. Have I said that delicately enough?

I do like the way that little boy is looking at Hellen with his chin out and a defiant look in his eye. Also, I believe that, back then, it was considered disrespectful to have your hands in your pockets when talking to an adult. All in all, I’d say that fine young man has got Hellen’s number.

Back then, boys were little men. I miss those boys. I don’t know how my daughters are going to sift through the sissies of today and find a manly guy.

Great post ,MaggieCarta!
