| Helen Thomas & John F. Kennedy - Together |
| 2013-10-06 |
| (Helen) Thomas arrived in Washington in 1942, at age 22, shortly after graduating from Detroit’s Wayne State University. Already University of Dearbornistan? 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. So she was already 'old' in 1942. Just imagine how history might have changed with Helen Thomas presiding over Camelot instead of Jacqueline Bouvier. |

| #17 Perhaps she wasn't as ugly on the inside back then as she became later years - when her total lack of a soul reflected in her face. *shudder* >:-( |

| #14 If you date a Kennedy you might want to wear a bathing suit and a life jacket. If you date Helen Thomas you may want to do exactly what JFK did, keep it a secret for 60 years. |

| #6 What makes you think he looked at her face, USN? Male Kennedys' eyes are pre-programed not to go that high. :-( |

| #5 I assume she didn't resemble a Salvador Dali melting clock until she was much older. Anyone have a pic? |
