Helen Thomas, whose career covering the White House dated back to the Kennedy administration, died on Saturday at the age of 92, the Gridiron Club announced in an email to members on Saturday.
Thomas was the the first woman to join the White House Correspondents' Association, and the first woman to serve as its president. She was also the first female member of the Gridiron Club, Washington's historic press group.
Present at the press briefings of ten consecutive presidential administrations, Thomas's career in journalism ended in 2010 after controversial remarks she made about Israeli Jews were caught on camera.
"Former Gridiron Club president Helen Thomas, our first female member, died Saturday morning at her Washington apartment after a long illness," Gridiron's Susan L. Hahn wrote in an email to members. "She would have been 93 next month."

Imagine being dead and realizing your whole life involved supporting a string of lies.
One less hater of America and freedom.

Was this the face that launched a thousand ships
And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?
Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss.
Her lips suck forth my soul; see where it flies!—
Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again.
Here will I dwell, for Heaven is in these lips,
And all is dross that is not Helena.

“It’s not my habit to make jokes of the dead (I’m sure others will be happy to do so).
May God have mercy on her soul.”
Hmmn - where to begin.
What is appropriate when the deceased was a walking, talking joke?
As for the response of the Lord, perhaps there is truth to the rumor that there is not a bottle of eye bleach nor a wire brush to be bought anywhere in all of Hell?

If she was not saved, sadly there will be no mercy. Either you are saved or your are not. If not, there is only one place awaiting you.

No indication of how she died.

The original Muslim Trojan Horse. In fact I think she gave the Trojans the idea.

My wife wrote her an email early in the Bush years suggesting maybe she should show the president a little more respect like she had with his predecessor. Here was her response”
“I can about freedomes, and you should too!”
