Helen Thomas' "Straight Line"

NBC's Ann Curry says it best at the end of this clip: "Go Helen." This morning on the "Today Show" we got a few clues about how this woman, who has covered the presidency for half a century, seems to always get to the bottom line. Lesson Number One: "The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. That's the way I like to ask the questions."

Love, love, love Helen Thomas. She is the epitome of a journalist. I wish every person in the White House press room operated the same way Helen does. She is tribute to her profession and a strong voice for us common people.

I love this woman...I don't care, she really is able to ask the questions and demand answers. Good for her. Ann Curry isn't so bad either. Helen Thomas ..wow..some of the men should knock the chip off the shoulders and ask a good question with out agenda. She wants answers.
