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.

It is about time that this hate-filled vile woman retired was exposed for who she truly was.
Dan Ratherbiased left his journalist job in disgrace too.
Did her face catch fire and did someone try to put it out with a pick?

I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians You only regret it, you hypocritical liberal hag, because you were so stupid as to announce how you really feel. (Not as though you needed to announce it. We already knew.)

I can’t wait to see the dust-up as “journalists” fight over the old harpy’s chair in the press room.

First Dan Rather and now Helen. From stature to ignominy in a hiccup.
The distance between the throne and the dumpster is very short indeed.

First Dan Rather and now Helen. From stature to ignominy in a hiccup. No wonder the Pravda Media hates talk radio and the internets.

Hearst shouldn’t have allowed her the so-called dignity of retirement. She should have been fired.

Does this mean that Helen will now be the
