Helen Thomas

Helen Thomas
Every President hates the Press.
Helen Thomas
I had a lot of fun bantering back and forth with Kennedy. But for ease and comfort, it would be Gerald Ford. He was a down-home type. I came from the Midwest and he came from the Midwest. He was nonaggressive and kindly.
Helen Thomas

Helen Thomas
Life is too short to drink the house wine.
Helen Thomas
