....Everyone knows she (Helen T.) is a nasty piece of work and has been a nasty piece of work for decades.
And when I say a nasty piece of work, I don't simply mean her opinions on Israel. She's been full-spectrum awful. I've known a few people who knew her 40 years ago, and she was slimy then too. One small example can be found in James Rosen's excellent book on John Mitchell, The Strong Man. Mitchell's wife Martha was a mentally unstable alcoholic who would call reporters to vent sad, paranoid, fact-free theories and diatribes. At first, many reporters were eager to hear her out, but over time it became obvious that Martha Mitchell was not well and it was cruel to exploit her. Obvious, that is, to nearly everyone but Helen Thomas who continued to milk Martha Mitchell for damning quotes and nonsense.
Also, let's just get the liberal bias thing out of the way. If there was a right-winger who'd spouted so much bile, hate, and ideological agenda-driven nonsense in the White House briefing room for half a century it would be . . . oh wait, no such person would have ever been allowed to become a Washington "institution" in the first place. According to the media graybeards, it's always been a sign of seriousness and unwavering truth-seeking for reporters to attack from the left (c.f. Dan Rather, Daniel Schorr, et al.).

Here’s to her new career as a spokesmodel for McGinnis Funeral Home.
...and addled old hags.
Nam Vet
Good, now we have so fire power backing up my statements that Thomas should have resigned 4 decades ago.
She has been an America/Israel hating b$tch for well over 4 decades.
Resigned to the Isle of Misfit Useless Tools....
Shes so ugly....I saw a video of her and Vandersloot entering a hotel room and only Helen leaving.
Ding, dong, the witch is ...gone.
Retiring? I prefer to think of her as “fossiling”...
Now the ol’ camelface will write a tell-all book about all the people behind the scenes,
I love Jonah.
I saw a profile of her several years ago in which she revealed she wakes up every morning and asks herself “who do I hate today?”
Sje will be missed like a hemmorhoid.
On Michael Medved, they’re playing the Wizard of Oz (witch is dead) song in the background ... :)
Wait...
I mean uglier...
The old hag better get right with Jesus before she checks out, otherwise she won’t enjoy justifying her Jew-hating bigotry before the King of kings and Lord of lords.
As difficult as it will be for me, I’m going to pray for her, she’s almost 90 and living on borrowed time as it is.
No I’ve not been drinking.
wait until she dies, the Left will be demanding a state funeral.
