Helen Thomas, JFK went on date By: Andrew Glass October 5, 2013 03:47 PM EDT
Helen Thomas covered 10 presidents, from Eisenhower through Obama, in her time as a White House correspondent.
She also went on a date with one of them, it emerged during a memorial service attended by about 500 people Saturday at the National Press Club for Thomas, who died on July 20 at age 92.
As told by Suzanne Geha, Thomas’s niece, who presided, Thomas arrived in Washington in 1942, at age 22, shortly after graduating from Detroit’s Wayne State University. United Press (later UPI) hired her in 1943.
While working for UP, she went on a date with John F. Kennedy, then a young Democratic congressman from Massachusetts, whom she subsequently covered in the White House.
“How did it go?” her friend asked her.
“He was too fresh,” Helen reportedly replied.

Sad thing. Suzanne Geha is one of my x girlfriends aunt. Suzanne was a news anchor at TV 8 here in Grand Rapids MI. Never heard that story.

The visual is too horrible for even the least informed to behold.

oh Gawd she was awful even in 1963. Maybe she was hot in the 19th century.

Well, you could never say Helen was “fresh” in any sense of the word.

I was never a fan of JFK, but I have to admit... I feel sorry for him.

People I know who knew JFK while he was in the White House told me that he slept with 2 or 3 different women every day. In fact, it appears to have been his chief interest in life.
I doubt whether he would have hesitated at anything that offered, even Helen Thomas.
