Someone put that old bat in a nursing home. She needs to be sedated, fed jello and put in front of a TV playing a continuous loop of "Price is Right".

Am I mistaken in remembering that this broom-flyer announced imminent retirement over a year ago? Why the hell is still here?

[Fraulein]

Just another lamestream liberal who lacks class, and who continues to embarrass and disgrace herself.....

I think Helen Thomas is less a conscious political activist than a sad figure of a woman sinking into senile dementia. The White House should revoke her credentials out of compassion. Let the poor woman decline in private.

[smiley]

Ari should have corrected Thomas and told her that Clinton is no longer the President now. :)

[Always Right]

Why Hellen, why don't you tell the some 3,000 widows and even more fatherless children that we are gonna to nothing about the murder of their spouse/father.

[Leisler]

If they got her out of there, there would be room for three more reporters.

[ChemistCat]

If she's not there, they might find a pacifist who can make a REASONED case for restraint in widening the war. (I didn't say a correct case. But perhaps a persuasive one--which she cannot do.) She's there and given first question rights for a good reason--she makes her cause appear ludicrous. By all means, pamper this woman and make her feel wanted and needed. She is.

You took the words right outta my mouth honey! LOL

[RedBloodedAmerican]

She is Arafat with a wig. Look at the similarities.

'The right as the commander-in-chief to protect and defend the American people.'

Just what part don't you understand, Helen?

Had dinner with Helen Thomas in DC about 2 years. It was at her favorite place, Mama Ayeshias (sp), up near the Zoo.

Three things immediately strike you about her.

First, In profile, her middle-eastern appearance is very obvious. She was born in Syrian controlled Lebanon, or her parents emigrated from there just before she was born.

Secondly, she is very anti-Semitic. After the first few of what was to be many glasses of wine, she made it very obvious that she thought there should be no Jews in the Middle East and the Israelis were simply criminal interlopers in her land.

Finally, Clinton was a wonderful man and the Republicans attacking this “good, kindly, liberal statesmen” were simply “fools and barbarians.”

By the time we finished, she had probably gone through more than a full bottle of red wine herself, and this was a nightly occurrence. She was accompanied by a young woman who was introduced as her “book agent,” but the relationship seems more personal than that.

….and every night, millions of people depend on Helen Thomas to tell them what is really going on in the United States and the world.

[oyez]

I can't remember MS Thomas harassing the Clinton administration.

Maybe she needs to understand that when there is a epidimic threatning disease, we will go to any length to control it. Or simply put, when you have cockroaches you exterminate.

Its time Helen retired.

If you can't answer the stupid questions then what will you do when the difficult ones present themselves? Helen Thomas is past her prime. The young wannabes are watching and listening. I think our representatives should answer questions, whether stupid or relevant. If the questions are inappropriate then do not answer. If they are appropriate then answer to the best of one's ability. This is also a key facet of our Country's freedom. Sometimes we tend to forget this on FR because the questions are so often inappropriate.

[Kermit]

Did she ever ask that question of Bill Clinton?

[Mamzelle]

What makes a senile old relic think she has the right to pose as a journalist?

[Doctor Freeze]

The old bird needs her medication.

[Illbay]

Did Thomas ask such questions of Clinton?

[SpinyNorman]

Every time I see her or hear her voice, I seem to smell cheese. You know, the kind of cheese really old, obese people produce on a hot day? Look closely at the faces of the people around her, and you will see what I mean.

[Les_Miserables]

Quick fix to the terrorist problem:

They need to understand that the 72 virgins Allah has promised are all exact copies of Helen Thomas. That should do it.
