Who has a question for Helen Thomas?
I have the pleasure of interviewing Helen Thomas on June 8. If anyone has any questions they'd like me to ask her, please send them to bschott@kcpw.org


PS - I am not Bryan Schott - I'm Clarity

5. Is this the worst administration she's dealt with?
Edited on Mon Jun-05-06 11:53 PM by spuddonna
How does she compare it with Nixon/Watergate, worse/same?

Also, what has been the hardest thing to do as a woman reporter in DC?

ETA: Almost forgot this: Why did she choose to go into journalism?

10. Ask her about memories of Wayne State University. Midges. Old Main. etc.
Edited on Tue Jun-06-06 12:17 AM by TahitiNut
WSU is in the "inner city" of Detroit. I'm an alum, too. It'd be interesting to know how 'formative' those years were for her.

Old Main was a former high school and the building was converted for WSU classroom space. Midge's was a trestle-table burger-in-a-basket grill/restaurant where a lot of students hung out - particularly fraternity/sorority types. (And GDIs.) It was a kind of 'student union' - for those of us who didn't like the student union.

15. Why won't anyone (but her) say "PNAC" out loud?
The media and Congresscritters all talk around it and no one will specifically name the organization that's infiltrated the WH, Pentagon, World Bank and UN. WHY?
