GENEVA — Helen Thomas, a print journalist who has covered every U.S. president from John F. Kennedy to George W. Bush, will be the first speaker in this semester’s President’s Forum series Thursday at Hobart and William Smith Colleges.

Thomas was the only print journalist to join Richard Nixon on his trip to China in 1972 and traveled extensively with other presidents. She is known for asking the first question at presidential press conferences and for closing every one with, “Thank you, Mr. President.”

Currently a columnist for the Hearst newspaper chain, she also has written two books — “Thanks for the Memories, Mr. President” and “Front Row at the White House.”

She will share her perspective as a journalist during a free public lecture at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Albright Auditorium.

“We’re thrilled that she’s visiting the campus,” said Lynne Wiley, vice president of planning and executive affairs. She said Thomas is a journalist with an enormous amount of credibility and is a polite, yet tough, reporter.

Thomas plans to sign books after her lecture, Wiley said.

Earth to Wiley...Sheesh, what a suck-up.

The President of HWS is a former member of the Clinton Administration. He uses this President's Forum series to invite all sorts of liberals, RINOs and the like to campus to slam republicans and promote his liberal agenda.

Offer a degree in disinformation, do they?

She looks like she started with Lincoln.

She is a good LIBERAL reporter.

Helen Thomas is a troll. When she comes out from under her bridge and sees her shadow, it means an extra month of bad journalism.

As her many pathetic performances in Ari Fleischer pressconferences demonstrate, she is both a bigot and a fool, and an embarrassment to the entire White House Press Corps. Given the sometimes dubious nature of that group, that is a very high (or very low, if you will) achievement.

Helen Thomas, a giant among objective journalists, should probably spend more time learning how to apply her lipstick. Either she's got the weirdest shaped lips in existence or she really does like the Bozo the Clown look...

She said Thomas is a journalist with an enormous amount of credibility and is a polite, but tough, reporter.

I count at least 4 misstatements lies in this one sentence. Can you spot them too?

Thanks for the warning I will be sure to miss it! Time to warn the town that a Anti-American is coming their way!

She left out youthful and attractive.

TLB and I have protested at Hobart & William Smith together in the past. I don't think I'll be there for Helen Thomas, it's too far a drive from Rochester to see that unimportant and disgusting hag.

CASH COW COLLEGE SPEAKING TOURS

Enjoy hearing you on PTF radio. Mark Guerrin, formerly a flak hack during and in the Clinton admin. is President of this small college which now competes for a dwindling number of applicants compared to the 60's and 70's.

Sad to see that these institutions have become toilet seats for the likes of Hillary, Helen, Madeline etal all when they need cash .

These schools have become just payoff for the Clinton years Cronies.

Am I the only one who thinks she's a dead ringer for the Tasmanian She Devil?
