Helen Thomas to Speak in Houston

The venerable White House press corps member, Helen Thomas, will speak in Houston on Thursday. Although now retired from the UPI, she is a columnist for Hearst newspapers and is promoting her new book where she finally unleashes 86 years of pent up rage against the 'tards in the White House press room. Although Thomas was never known for breaking stories (at least to me she wasn't) what she is known for is her long history in that press room. We bet she knows a thing or two about the lack of cognitive skills and journalistic credibility of those we count on to find out and then tell us the truth. If you're in Houston there are worse things you could do on a Thursday.

For details about her appearance, click 'permalink.'

She will speak at 11:30 a.m. Thursday. Tickets are $50 for members of the Houston Intown Chamber of Commerce and $65 for nonmembers. To buy tickets or for more information, call Sheila Astley at 713-524-8000.

I can think of a lot of better things to do with $65 bucks than listen to an old maid rant.

Like play golf, watch grass grow, eat glass....etc

Wonk,
I think you are being a little harsh where that shriveled up old mummy is concerned. She does posses a bit of entertainment value, just like the "Where's the Beef?" lady. Fun.
Besides, if you do show up, you'll be able to double the crowd.

Sad to say, but I've got way more class and intelligence than either of you.

And I'm a freakin' douchebag!

Helen Thomas' Douchebag at October 31, 2006 1:21 PM

Something's wrong with you if you're paying $65 to eat glass.

Same can be said for someone too pay money to see her speak.

She looks like a shrilved rasin or an alien from Star Wars.

Wonk [TypeKey Profile Page] at October 31, 2006 3:01 PM

Wonk, darlin’, I know a gal who will feed you glass for $65.00. I always thought you might like that sorta thing. Suspicions confirmed.

Is that girl Carole Strayhorn? Cuz I think she just might be saying she'll feed him glass, when the record clearly shows that she has never been a friend to glass-eaters in the past.

RawHide at October 31, 2006 4:20 PM

Ok...now I have it. She looks like something out of Lord of the Rings....not Star Wars.
