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, Thomass niece, who presided, Thomas arrived in Washington in 1942, at age 22, shortly after graduating from Detroits 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.

“Maybe she was hot in the 19th century.”
Well, several soldiers during the War of 1812 did say that she reminded them of their grandmothers.
Men, whom did you find more attractive? Marilyn Monroe or White House reporter Helen Thomas?
Uh-huh. Suuuuuuure.
Isn’t this story a little misplaced, in the scheme of things; perhaps the libtards released this distraction at the wrong time. Oops.
Piltdown diaries.
Just don’t ask Laz. Just don’t.
Opposable thumbs...kiiiiiinky!
No surprise here. JFK like Bill Clinton would screw a snake.
The first to say “grugga” instead of “hraaagh!”
Soo sexy and innovative at the time.

Ping!
Helen Thomas, JFK went on date

I always suspected she had a little Kennedy in ‘er.
Is this someone's idea of a joke?
How is that possible considering all of the medical problems he had?
If JFK dated it, JFK humped it. He was little more than a gland with nice hair.
