WASHINGTON, June 7, 2010 – Helen Thomas announced Monday that she is retiring, effective immediately.
Her decision came after her controversial comments about Israel and the Palestinians were captured on videotape and widely disseminated on the Internet.
Thomas later issued a statement: ``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.’’
Thomas will mark her 90th birthday on Aug. 4.

Another one bites the dust.
That one was quick.
Hey Helen, we expect you to go home to Lebanon now.

Her apology made it worse. But then she’s always been a vicious anti-semite.
Long ago story was that she cut a friendship with a dear friend for marrying a jjjjjjjooooooooooo.

The nursing home is over there!
Thank God we have an end to her nonsense, and the press corps treatment of her as the “Dean of the White House press corps.” This was about 20 years overdue.

Poor Helen, obviously some senility has set in.
Unfortunately Helen has been forced out and I imagine she will be dead in 6 months, that job was everything to her and probably kept her alive.
