Love her or hate her, no one in the White House Press Corps has ever stirred up as much controversy as Helen Thomas. The famed journalist will be signing and discussing her new book Watchdogs of Democracy?: The Waning Washington Press Corps and How It Has Failed the Public tomorrow morning at the Brazos Bookstore.
In her sixty years as a journalist, Thomas (who's always reminded us of Beaky Buzzard, for some reason) opened the doors for many women in her field by becoming the first female member of the White House Correspondents Association and president of the National Press Club. She has covered every president since John F. Kennedy, sitting on the front row during press conferences. Often times, she’d be the one asking questions that President preferred not to answer (well, we didn’t say that she wrote How to Win Friends and Influence People).
