Front row at the White House
I remember Helen Thomas as a journalistic bloodhound, in the front row of White House news conferences. Her book, “Front Row at the White House,†is basically a loosely-organized series of anecdotes about her 30+ years covering eight presidents from Kennedy to Clinton. This book has been on my TBR pile for years, and honestly, I waited too long to read it. The big scandal 20 years ago was Clinton’s impeachment over lying and obstructing justice in his affair w/ Monica Lewinsky. Thomas was horrified and upset w/ Clinton for doing this to the presidency, as upset w/ Clinton as she was w/ Nixon over Watergate. I actually REMEMBER the press conferences about Watergate (vaguely), so I’m a little surprised that she seems more upset about Lewinsky than the break-in to Democratic headquarters in 1972. Watergate was 26 years before she wrote this book, and it has now been 20 years since the Clinton scandals of
The 90’s. The Clintons have lived through more scandals, and more presidential campaigns, since then.
I just couldn’t help wondering: what would
Helen have thought of a President Trump...?!
