Helen Thomas Resigns

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

She should have been fired and not given the opportunity to retire.

Exactly. Being allowed to retire is not sufficient punishment for her and people like her. It is so frustrating that so many of these people simply are not punished sufficiently for what they have done.

In the words of Harrison Ford as he pushed the terrorist highjacker out of the loading bay of Air Force One, ‘Now get the hell off of my plane!’

Question is: Who will get her seat, or will they put a bronze plaque on it and leave it empty?

Given the WH's insistence on immortalizing progressive nutjobs, it'll probably get a bronze plaque AND be put somewhere in the Smithsonian.

Great news, even with Obama’s slow and weak “respond”, America rejects all racism!
The other good news is that she showed the real M.E. “conflict” what’s about - bigotry.
I know many Arabs who are not like her, Arab real Christians.

NOW THATS FUNNY!!!

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

Now she can join the PR Department of CAIR.

Well, let’s hope they have the decency to apply Fabreeze in large quantities first.

When she first arrived in DC during the John Adams administration no one would have guessed it would end like this.

I dunno, she's had a number of controversial outbursts over the years. Who can forget this classic exchange?

Nov. 12, 1864

PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S SPOKESMAN: Okay, and now we're going to answer any questions that come to mind. I'll start with the front row. Yes, Helen?

HELEN THOMAS: Does President Lincoln see his stolen re-election as a mandate to cater to abolitionists and deprive law-abiding southern property owners of their property, destroy civil liberties, wage unprovoked war against a soviegn nation, punish southern people with tariffs, and provide huge tax breaks to yankee corporations ?

PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S SPOKESMAN: Helen, you sound like one of those confederate propaganda pamphlets that didn't work.

HELEN THOMAS: I've covered 14 presidents, young man, and this fellow Abraham is by far the worse we've ever had.

PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S SPOKESMAN: Oh Helen, tell us how you really feel about American blacks.

HELEN THOMAS: If they don't want to be enslaved they should go back to Africa or Madagascar or wherever they're from, and get the hell out of the Confederate States of America. This a white man's land.

PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S SPOKESMAN: Thank you Helen for those rather candid remarks. Moving on...

She should go back where she came from.

Mephistopheles is waiting with open arms.
