Trailblazing White House journalist Helen Thomas has died at age 92 after a long illness, sources told CNN Saturday.

Thomas covered 10 presidents over nearly half a century, and became a legend in the industry.

She was a fixture at White House news conferences -- sitting front and center late in her career -- where she frequently exasperated government spokesmen with her pointed questions.

Thomas began covering the White House for United Press International when John F. Kennedy became president in 1961 and was a fixture there until her retirement in 2010.

She probably stood out due to her extreme ugliness.

Her legacy: 49 years of lying, dissembling, carrying water for the demonicRAT party and pushing socialism, sodomy, abortion and gun-control. She was a whore for tyranny.

I know: don't speak ill of the dead. So I'm trying to be nice.

Much of the madness that we see in this country seems to progenerate from one generation. Our cultural decay has an almost defined starting point and a 10 to 15-year spread of people who continue to push it forward.

Maybe it was something in the water.

Bye-bye, you nasty, nasty woman.

Dittoes...you’ve expressed my feelings about this destructive witch better than I could. And in her case I have no qualms about speaking badly of the dead.

I won’t miss Helen Thomas, nor will I celebrate the death of her. I do wish though that Freepers will let her pictures die with her

I searched **that** headline. I’ve been at the doctor’s office today and didn’t see the others.

Now she can tell Jesus to His face that the Jews need to leave Israel.

I’m not a theologian, but I doubt she’ll see Jesus or anyone associated with him.

She has been brain dead for 60 years. The rest of her just followed...
