BREAKING: Fox News is reporting that Helen Thomas has announced her retirement effective immediately from the Hearst Corporation, and as a member of the White House Press Corps.
In the video above, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs today called anti-Jewish remarks by Helen Thomas “reprehensible”:
“I think those remarks were offensive and reprehensible. I think she should and has apologized. Obviously those remarks do not reflect the opinion, certainly, I assume, of most of the people in here, and certainly not of the administration.”

What a great way to start a Monday!
Obama still hates Israel.
This gives him temporaty cover.
She is now free to go back to Lebanon.
Ding Dong,, the witch is dead!!
Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans
A dual “Jumped the Shark” and “Under the Obama bus” moment!
Does this mean that all FR members with Helen Thomas fixations will stop posting that heart stopping picture?
(I hope, I hope, I hope...)
Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch! Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead. Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed. Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She's gone where the goblins go, Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out. Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low. Let them know The Wicked Witch is dead!
At least she won’t be around to torment yet another Conservative...Wonder if W’s planning a cookout at the ranch to “mark the occasion”...
Finally!
Wow. Completely unexpected.
“Retired” in shame, just like Dan Rather...
Exactly. Retired in shame.
Yeah. This is the apology released by Hearst:
"I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians. They do not reflect my heart-felt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance. May that day come soon."
But apparently do reflect her heart-felt belief that the Jews don't belong there. Otherwise why ignore that part of her comments?

“She is now free to go back to Lebanon.”
Either that or Obama can use her as a poster child for his new approach to old folks via Obamacare —he can take her to the Vet and have her put down.
but agrees with them fully...you just cant say that...right?.
Another Israel hater bites the dust. Now for the hater in chief...
