BETHESDA, Md. (AP) -- A high school graduation speech by veteran White House reporter Helen Thomas has been canceled because of controversial remarks she made about Israel, the school's principal said in an e-mail Sunday.

Helen Thomas needs to go away to a nice retirement home in Germany or Poland.

She should retire to Hell. On the other hand, the Devil probably wouldn’t want her there.

Honestly, the woman has been known for YEARS as a vicious anti-Semite. How long would aa Nazi last as the “first lady of journalism”? With her own gold-plated chair?

She should be given a complete neurological workup and placed under the care of gerontologists at an assisted living senior community.

Helen Thomas: This Lebanese woman’s profound ignorance of history is as frightening as her rabid anti-Semitism. To think she’s been a news columnist. Shudder! The dimwitted woman seems not to even know that a large percentage of Israelis are from Muslim countries and that Muslims want Israel as yet one more Jew free middle eastern country.
