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.
I just noticed that this is about the 12th thread on the subject.
Not to worry, She’ll have more time for you now Laz...
Guest host for Amy Bin Goodman’s “Democracy Now” on taxpayer funded Pacifica Left Wingnut Radio.
YAY!
I am covering myself in olive oil as we speak.
I think it was MindBender26.
“Had dinner with Helen Thomas in DC a few times back in my Crusading Reporter days. She is a mean drunk, rabidly anti-Semitic, absolutely hates every member of the Bush family, and is truly one of the ugliest women in the world. That nose of hers looks like an arresting hook on an F-14 Tomcat.”
LOL! MindBender.....hope you don’t mind. I swiped it from your profile page. It’s such good stuff. I couldn’t resist!
The Old Hags long career was a disgrace.
Well most of it anyway. Her reporting on the defense of Washington DC by The Army of the Potomac was not bad reporting. But she blew it a couple of years later when she miss-spelled Gettysburg, and its been all down hill for the next 147 years.
The Obama regime is the gift that keeps on giving. No doubt Helen felt safe to express herself because Barack was in the house.
lol
Too long! Way too long.
Wonder what was on part 2 of the recording? Must be even more damning.
Helen Thomas, 2010 recipient of the Dan Rather Award given out to the “journalist” who decides cap off their long career by submerging their legacy in raw sewage. Congrats Helen!
Believe it or not Dept.
That freaky shrew was born way down deep in old Kaintucky.
The path to her cabin they say has grown green and the stones are quite mossy around.
She can start a new career servicing all those jihadis waiting for their 72 virgins. May she be cloned eternally in her current state to justly reward their dirty deeds.
When racists at US universities make similary such statements, the ugliness of the comments is perfectly clear.
Some sheep are slow to speak out against such naked raw bigotry until they see another litmus test case.
The public is clear that such ugly remarks cannot be accepted in this society.
So long Helen Al-Thomas!
Let's put it this way: She covered the meteor impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. Live. And she still mourns the loss of her early mammal-eating family to this day.
True enough.
I think she was probably VOLUN-TOLD to retire.
Basically, “You retire or you are fired! How do you want to end your career?”
Sad... the Free Republic community has lost a spectacular icon of wicked Leftist agenda hustling. Who’s picture shall replace this iconic face as a symbol of Leftist insanity? Posts will sure be less heart stopping and/or blood curdling from now on...
