Honoring Helen Thomas (her birthday)

Helen Thomas, the grande dame of the White House press corps, turns 88 today. That's cause for celebration. But sadly, the woman who got her first reporting job four years before the current president was born — and who has been performing enhanced interrogations on him and his press secretaries for the last seven years — has not yet reappeared in the briefing room since she became ill in May. On July 17, Ann Compton, president of the White House Correspondents Association, reported that Helen had been released from the hospital and was building up her strength for her return to work. For the sake of the country, let's hope that happens soon.

1. I met her once, got to shake her hand.

She is so tiny & fragile looking...and let's all send our strongest wishes for her full recovery...
