Helen Thomas, the dean of the White House press corps, is looking very un-Helen-Thomas-like these days.
Here she sits, all dolled up, under the back porch of the Sewall-Belmont House on Capitol Hill before an audience of women, answering the questions instead of asking them.
Q: What does she like best about covering the White house?
Ms. Thomas: The "ringside seat."
Q: What happened during the '50s with the women's movement, or are you too young to know?
Ms. Thomas: "Thank you."
The minions - her minions - are positively gushing.
