The Helen Thomas award

Just landed in my inbox:
ADC to Honor Helen Thomas at Convention and Inaugurate Journalism Scholarship
Washington DC | March 30th, 2009 | www.adc.org | Since the Kennedy Administration in the early 1960s many policies and initiatives have changed from President to President, but one thing has been consistent; the watchful eye of Arab-American Journalist Helen Thomas who broke all barriers for female journalists. As a central figure in the White House Press corps, and the current Dean, Helen Thomas has always asked tough questions. Even when much of the media establishment failed to question the evidence that led us into war in Iraq, Helen Thomas was among the few who maintained journalistic integrity and responsibility by putting tough questions before the White House.
Now, questioning her 10th President, Helen Thomas continues to be a role model for young journalists throughout this country. At this year’s National Convention, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee will inaugurate a journalism scholarship in Helen Thomas’ name to be awarded to outstanding college students majoring in journalism. Helen Thomas will address the convention and more details about the scholarship application will be available soon.
Flashback: Tony Snow to Helen Thomas…”Thanks for the Hezbollah view.”

Well, congratulations. You’ve aided my diet immensely. And all I had to do was see the picture.
Good Lord have mercy.
Aw geez, Michelle, I was just having lunch. Next time, could you spare us the thumbnail of Helen?
I’m not sure which picture is the most creepy, her or the Jimi Hendrix one.
OMG Michelle, I am just about to fix supper and now hubby may not get much. That picture made me loose my desire to eat or cook.
L
Inspiring to harpies everywhere.
We miss you Tony.
I’m not sure which gets me sicker, seeing helens ugly mug or listening to her talk.
Quick, grab a bucket of water! (Thanks Bill O)
Seriously, there is nothing worth honoring about a person who used every opportunity to undermine the freedom that allowed her the job.
The Helen Thomas award should go to the best leftist propagandist in the country.
Please oh please can’t you turn the picture around? A full frontal of her is more than I can handle. Actually, Algore could be the love child of Helen and Dracula. Let’s start the rumor.
My eyes! My eyes!
Every day.
She should be given the Methuselah Award for Perennially-Promoting the Palestinian Perspective.
Roger, she should be given the Methuselah award for her appearance.
Gaaaahh! There’s that picture again.
Well, that explains a lot… Never knew that before. Should’ve guessed it, given her “Hezbollah view,” but with a name like Helen Thomas and grey-blonde hair, how was I to know? What’s her real name, then, and when does she go back to Hamas?
When did she become Arab-American?
Obviously she is showing her bias by hyphenating her name. Maybe she would do better by moving back to an arab islamist country and adorning and staying in her burqua.
Hyphenating her heritage not name.
Ah, I see. Wikipedia says she was born to “Lebanese Christian parents.” Talk about rewriting your heritage…
Wow, that’s a stretch.
BTW, that image…….oh man is that scary!
BARF!
Why won’t they send Helen Thomas to interview the detainees at Gitmo?
Because we’ve already got enough issues with them complaining about torture.
Doesn’t she have a famous son?
Why is it everytime I see that picture I’m reminded of “Witch Hazel” from the old Bugs Bunny cartoons?
24KLady:
“Helen Thomas” and “Full-Frontal” should NEVER be used in the same sentence.
That picture brings to mind one word:
coprophiliac
Thanks chap.
:pukes:
Who would apply for such a tainted scholarship?
Compare Tony Snow’s performance with Robert Gibbs. Class v Crass. I miss Tony Snow.
A lot of Lebanese have the surname of ‘Thomas’ (think Danny & Marlo Thomas). It is quite a popular name, even in the colonies.
Arab-American Journalist Helen Thomas ? That does explain a lot of things. Playing second fiddle to the goats and camels HAS to be demeaning-but she is that ugly as was Uncle Arafat.
jrlingreenbay:
well said.
I hear she adjusted her name. It used to be Helent Hamas. No, just kidding.
Damn, I miss Tony. I see I’m in good company.
Classic!
Hope is not a plan; not all change is good. WE are the civilian national security force. We need A Nation of Riflemen more than ever. The resistance is here; the resistance is now. RESIST!!!!!!
ECS
We need someone with photoshop skills to adorn her above photo with pointy hat, broom, and black cat…
…the watchful eye of Arab-American SO-CALLED Journalist Helen Thomas…
That’s the ticket.
Salt, meet wound.
ECS @31: COB6 at TAH has a link to a 2nd ammendment poll to USA Today looks encouraging so far, and the picture of Angie Harmon packing heat eases the eyestrain caused by Helen
Guess we don’t like her looks.
Thought I posted the link. Ah well, just showing my computer illiteracy skills.
Michelle, everytime you show that gawdawful picture of that mental midget, I feel like I need to buy a gross of eye-wash!
Shall we take up a collection for Helen to get a face transplant?
What? Is it genetic?
There. Fixed it for you. The hag never adorned ANYTHING!
She is a “…role model for young journalists through out the country.” ?
I nominate Roger Cohen of the NY Times for the scholarship. Cohen is always striving to show how hip, cool and how proMuslim he is. Cohen would not live in the Arab world for a minute but he likes to show off his coolness, and how he is a third world man. He recently bragged about how cool he was during his Iran trip and how he is far more sophisticated than the average boob who lives in the US. So why not give him a scholarship and let him study under the ayatollahs.
Arab-American eh?
Talk about sleeper cells.
Hope the NSA is tapping her phone.
well, maybe “tapping” isn’t the right word here.
Tony Snow. The best press secretary EVAH!
She’s still alive?
I miss Tony Snow too.
When I see that picture, I begin to understand why she was always seated in the front row at the White House press briefings. The other presstitutes apparently just to limit their exposure of her to just the back of her head…
Michelle, Regularguy is absolutely right, that photo would knock a bulldog off of a bucket of guts.
I think we could defeat North Korea by simply dropping millions of wallet sized copies of that photo from B52′s. They would surrender in droves and explain they prefer daisy cutters to that volume of ugly.
Most of the D.C. crowd makes me sick. Tony Snow was one of the few exceptions. I believe he would have made a great POTUS. I miss him very much.
You know, all things considered, if the current US Government had a face to represent them…
Flying monkeys
They say that whatever is in your heart will eventually show up on your face. I gotta say that her face doesn’t bother me nearly as much as her beliefs and attitudes.
Compare Tony at the podium with video of the current press sec. Tony was always a class act.
The “Helen Thomas Award” is a joke, right…..someone’s idea of an early April Fool’s?? That is one award I’d sure aspire to………….it really is a joke……./sarc off
Oh my Lord, that picture of her, is she smiling or growling?
Hear, hear! Tony was one of the great ones. He had an excellent knack for putting his fellow journalists in their place!
C’mon, Michelle. you put a picture like that up to accompany your post and then chastise us for ad hominen attacks. That’s baiting the mousetrap with gargoylezola cheese.
“Hey honey? Have you seen the Visine and the blowtorch?”
So the award is called “the old bitter bitties” award!
Does anyone actually listen to Helen Thomas or read her writing? She is in the same category as all those CBS correspondents on 60 Minutes — so old that they fart dust.
Oh gee – do I miss Tony Snow.
That clip more than made up for the head shot of HT.
Helen Thomas is one of the few people I know who is as ugly on the inside as she is on the outside…or as another commenter wrote, “beauty is skin deep, but liberal goes to the bone.” Unfortunately, we have to wait for history to set things right…a hundred years from now, Bush will get the full credit he deserves, obummer will be widely recognized as the only president to rank lower than carter, and helen (whose face could SINK a thousand ships) will be the classic example of activist-liberal journalism, or what independent thinkers and truthful journalists seek to avoid. I can see the day when a really bad news screwup will be referred to as a “helen,” and the award for the most biased journalism will be in her name……..
Remember when Ann Coulter was criticized for calling Helen Thomas an Arab? Does that mean she and other conservatives aren’t allow to call Helen that?
Is it reasonable to assume that this beast is one of the promised 72 virgins?
I can’t imagine any man ….
uh ….
Never mind.
One look should change any living, breathing male into an instant Republican.
Where on earth do the Democrats find these people…Janet Reno, Margerat Albright, H (Thunder Thighs) Clinton, Helen Thomas, Barbara Boxer et al.
PC is Thought Control
LEE
Merciful Heavens!
She looks like a cross between Danny Devito as the Penguin and Jabba the Hutt.
Yep. It confirms Journalism, as we knew it…is dead. WTF.
YIKES!!!
I had to scroll away from the picture, no joke.
I swear her bones are disintegrating and she is slowly collapsing in on herself. Soon there will only be a quivering,mumbling mound of old clothing. Oh! Wait! Its already there!
You made my day! I will now go forth into the workplace with a laugh in my heart!
More proof that Helen Thomas is as ugly in her thinking as she is in her face. And for Tony Snow or anyone to try and reason with a moonbat is a real lesson in futility. There is NO reasoning with liberals…NONE.
jesus, no wonder the arabs make their women wear burkas. god almighty, she’s scarier than many hollywood horror stars. freddie has nothing on her, and he’s been in tons of movies. since her days as a journalist are way over, she should seek new employment in hollywood. the day of the living dead part deaux.
I just wish that house had finished the job when it landed on her after the tornado. What a world!!
Don’t like Helen Thomas. Never have. BUT — does it not demean us all to focus on her physical attributes? The poor old soul is close to 90, and she never HAS been a beauty. Of all the things we dislike in the woman, can her outward appearance at least be forgiven? Just sayin’. . . .

You have a point. However, we do it because she is such a left-wing moonbat idiot. Looks are not important. But when they reflect the ugliness of a person’s soul, they are open for these kinds of digs. True, it is a bit beneath us. But she is a sitting duck! (My apologies to the ducks of the world!)
I think it is perfectly acceptable to make fun of her looks. See what left does to Michelle http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/brandnewday/archives/2008/06/malkin_not_just.html
Can’t we parachute her into the Taliban controlled regions of Afghanistan and solve two problems simultaneously?
Put a sign around her neck saying “one of the 72 virgins you’ll be getting in heaven.”
Is it just me, or does Helen Thomas look like Maureen Dowd left out in the sun too long?
