DEARBORN, Mich. - The Arab American National Museum in Dearborn could land a sculpture of veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas.
Spokeswoman Kim Silarski said Friday the museum, which already displays one of Thomas' vintage typewriters, was approached by former White House photographer Susan Tinsley McElhinney. McElhinney sculpted a clay version of a Thomas bust.
Donations are being sought for the tribute.
Thomas was born to Lebanese immigrants in Winchester, Ky., and raised in Detroit, where she graduated from Wayne State University. The longtime United Press International reporter now is a Heart Newspapers columnist.
Thomas turned 89 on Aug. 4, the same birthday as President Barack Obama. He led a roomful of reporters in singing "Happy Birthday to You."

they are going to have to put that sculpture at the end of a hallway as to not cause temporary eye problems

Can you ‘photoshop’ sculptures? We don’t want to scare the little kiddies do we?

I can’t think of any place more deserving of that statue.

They could sculpt her in a burqa.

The Arab American National Museum in Dearborn could land a sculpture of veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas. They say this like it is a prize or something.

During the Middle Ages they used to use Helen as a model when they sculpted gargoyles.

Pest control.
Very effective at keeping the rats and roaches out.

that would protect the eyes, either that or give out blinders to visitors with a warning similar to one given out not to look directly at a solar eclipse or your retinas will be damaged and you could go blind.

The museum believes that the Helen Thomas scupture will be as big a draw as the Michelle Obama piece.

Can you imagine all the extra sculptor's labor involved in carving all those wrinkles?
Can you say, "overtime"?
