Contest Directions: 
Veteran White House reporter Helen Thomas has just resigned after she said Israelis should "get the hell out of Palestine." The grand dame of the White House press corps, who outlasted nine American presidential administrations – and Castro's rule – was finally forced to halt her determined, often opinion-laden questioning and into retirement this week over comments on the issue closest to her heart, the Middle East. Fidel Castro was once asked to define the difference between democracy in Cuba and the United States. "I don't have to answer questions from Helen Thomas," the old revolutionary replied. There were no fond farewells for the 89-year-old reporter remembered as a trailblazer for women in journalism but also as a grumpy old contrarian. Her front-row seat in the White House briefing room, in recent years uniquely tagged with her own name rather than that of an organization, was left empty.
Since Helen Thomas did not have proper farewells at the White House, let us throw a farewell party for her at Freaking News -- photoshop Helen Thomas any way you wish.
