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 served for 57 years at United Press International, first as a correspondent, then as a White House bureau chief. She was 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 (http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2010/06/08/the-rabbi-whose-question-ended-helen-thomas-career/) she made about Israeli Jews to a Rabbi 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 Carl P. Leubsdorf wrote in an email to members. "She would have been 93 next month."

I liked her, she pissed off the jews.

it's not like she was always on their case, either.

just a little honesty from Ms. Thomas about the Palestinians, and out came the AIPAC bandwagon, whining about anti-Semitism, too dishonest to realize that most Jews are not Semitic - yet very rarely called on their BS by the MSM.

did she ever publicly question the Holo-hoax ?

Another article, she does have the hook nose, no doubt.

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 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. She served for 57 years at United Press International, first as a correspondent then as a White House bureau chief, before becoming a columnist for Hearst Papers.
"Former Gridiron Club president Helen Thomas, our first female member, died Saturday morning at her Washington apartment after a long illness," Gridiron's Carl P. Leubsdorf wrote in an email to members. "She would have been 93 next month."
Present at the press briefings of ten consecutive presidential administrations, Thomas earned herself a front-row seat at White House press briefings. Beyond Washington, her status as a trailblazing female reporter made her name a cultural reference point, even invoked in an episode of "the Simpsons."

But Thomas's career in journalism ended abruptly in 2010 when controversial remarks (http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2010/06/08/the-rabbi-whose-question-ended-helen-thomas-career/) she made about Israeli Jews to a Rabbi were caught on camera. Thomas, a daughter of Lebanese immigrants, told the Rabbi that Israel should "get the hell out of Palestine," and that the Jewish people should go home to "Poland, Germany ... and America and everywhere else."
On Saturday, Thomas's colleagues expressed sadness and shared memories of the veteran reporter on Twitter.
"Helen Thomas made it possible for all of us who followed: woman pioneer journalist broke barriers died today wld have been 93 nxt month RIP," Andrea Mitchell, the NBC News chief foreign affairs correspondent wrote.
Thomas was born in Winchester, Kentucky in 1920, one of nine children, and raised in Detroit, Michigan. She wrote three books over the course of her career: "Front Row at the White House: My Life and Times" (1999); "Thanks for the Memories Mr. President: Wit and Wisdom from the Front Row at the White House" (2002); and "Watchdogs of Democracy? The Waning Washington Press Corps and How it Has Failed the Public" (2006).
