“Veteran White House reporter Helen Thomas retires following controversial remarks”

She should look on the bright side: at least nobody decided to gas her, then stick her in a big-ass pizza oven.

Arbeit macht frei, Helen, baby!

(thanks to Darleen)

  1. JD says:

    Retire is kind of a euphemism, no?

  2. cranky-d says:

    Whenever I inadvertantly saw a picture of her, a part of me was frightened. That will probably not happen as often now (seeing a picture of her, not the being frightened part, I mean, yikes).

  3. pdbuttons says:

    if she was atriplet than
    that shakespeare play with the three witches would be mac daddy

  4. Bob Reed says:

    I would have happened quicker than this if she’d demanded illegals out of the country, or military action to stop the Iranian nuke program.

    Because the usual suspects can’t allow those opinions to see the light of day. But Joooooooo hate? Meh, everybody does it, right?

    Good riddance to bad rubbish…

  5. Carin says:

    Why can’t she go back to where she came from?

  6. 11B40 says:

    Greetings:

    Epitaph: Helen Thomas – not just another pretty face.

  7. pdbuttons says:

    a face that longed ( spell check) a thousand ships otay buckwheat we shall try again..
    a face the launched a thousand ships!

    i didn’t evev use spell check
    thank u latin course in 7th grade!

  8. cranky-d says:

    A thousand ships launched trying to get away from that face of hers.

    Yeah, I’m being mean. So what?

  10. JHo says:

    But we know Helen was great on accounta she had the front-and-center seating thinger. QED.

    Haterz.

    About frigging time.

  13. JHo says:

    Altho you can allude to it night and day cause that pays dividends.

  14. Curmudgeon says:

    I hate to wish the bitch well, but frankly, I would rather she had *stayed* in the White House press room. She illustrated the Commiecrats at their most Demunistic. I fear someone smarmy and cleverly disingenuous will replace her.

  15. JD says:

    Instead of saying longtime White House reporter, I would have said longtime Joooooooo-hating fugly moonbat…

  16. JHo says:

    A question for the liberuls: Given that the deepest, darkest reaches of the human soul are your preferred, politicizable domain – see everyone from Gingrich’s fidelity to Rush’s pills to that governor dude from SC with the Brazilian mistress or something, with an entire country of NASCAR-breathin hicktard cousin-humper bible-bangers in between – how’s Thomas sitting with y’all?

    I mean, the man with the flip phone only saw the mask slip this one time but surely Helen has harbored this particularly inconvenient sentiment for some time.

    I’ll expect your condemnations on my desk in the morning, you reality-based reality-basers.

  17. JD says:

    Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, Rev Hatey Wright, Rep Moran, Rep McKinney, and Bill Ayers could not be reached for comment.

  18. Mikey NTH says:

    I never thought I would see that happen, I figured the deal she made with Beelzebub would have her in the front row of the press room until 2075, at least.

  19. JD says:

    Hezbollah will have to hold auditions for a new spokesperson. Gibbs is the early frontrunner.

  20. agile_dog says:

    I would second the wish of Curmudgeon above – keep her front and center where people can see what the lame stream media really think.

  21. pdbuttons says:

  22. physics geek says:

    I don’t see the problem. I’m sure that her remarks sounded just fine in the original German.

  23. SBP says:

    Not enough lotion on the planet to help that skin.

    Hey, wait: light bulb just went on. Massive oil spill in Gulf, unemployed crone — plug the well with Helen Thomas. After sopping up the spill, she might even be able to pass for 80.

    look,,

  25. Back under the bridge where she came from.

    someone said leave the money by the bridge
    and i am passsed out..
    passing it on!( ya know troll tolls etc)

    From Insty:

    “I heard this morning that the Rabbi who gave Helen Thomas enough rope to hang herself filmed their little exchange on a flip camera. […]”

    Interesting that it was a Rabbi videoing the thing. I wonder whether he was wearing a kippah, and if so, did that fact give Helen an extra little frisson of glee?

  30. BJTexs says:

    The Rabbi who filmed Helen in all of her glory was wearing a yarmulke and kippah, as was his son and his son’s friend. There could have been no doubt as to their religious leanings but she still bared her dark, reverse-diaspora soul.

    I hope the hideous troll stays under her bridge for good, but she’ll probably write a book about how her “illustrious career” was sabotaged by right-wing neocons (read: the Jooz). She’ll get a nice fat advance on the thing, but hardly anyone will read it.

  36. pdbuttons says:

    if i said helen kellers new book was
    called aroun the block in forty days would
    that

    NK over at Patterico.com would seem to be in substantive agreement with Helen Thomas, given the way he blames Israel for everything:

    http://patterico.com/2010/06/04/the-good-ship-rachel-corrie/

    Maybe he needs to retire too.

  39. LTC John says:

    #3 and 21 made me laugh…thanks, pd.

    Actually, this is a bit of a blow to the WH – Gibbs cannot look “moderate” when responding to her strange, wandering, far-left “questions”…

  41. bill glass says:

    How can anyone who was brought up right say such negative comments about her looks…most of what I’ve read today compares with the Linda Tripp type treatment from the left…hard to believe. Appearance and age have nothing to do with anything.

  42. sdferr says:

    “Appearance and age have nothing to do with anything.”

    Best not to spell crone with a k then, for the chance taken at being mistaken for referring to historical Northern Euro monies.

  43. Randy says:

    Helen Thomas is a perfect candidate for one of PJ O’Rourke’s pre-obituaries.

  44. JD says:

    Bill – I don’t see a damn thing wrong with pointing out that the ancient bat’s innards are as fugly as her outards.

    ugly words from an ugly woman see its easy

    and we never went to their house for halloween..

  47. Joe says:

    She is an ugly person through and through. Good bye and good riddens.

  48. ak4mc says:

    Given that her body won’t accompany her into the afterlife if she dies, I have to say I’ll be surprised if she ever does. The Devil will probably sell souls to her in exchange for his not having to look at her for eternity.

  49. cranky-d says:

    Oh, please. She makes the wicked witch of the West look good.

  50. So, no more Emperor Palpatine “separated at birth” pics…?

    Geez Bill, I made no actual, direct reference* to any of her physical attributes (I doubt any of us will be particularly attractive when – or if – we reach her age), but everything about her dour personality and her extreme leftist views are repulsive. Old Stalinists are inherently ugly, as far as I’m concerned. Her making such derogatory remarks about Jews surprised no one on this website.

    *Well, maybe I did a little: but it’s her nasty, bitter attitude that makes her truly ugly.

    Arbeit macht frei, Helen, baby!

    Thing is, Arbeit macht frei means “work sets your free,” but the lovely Miss Thomas is now out of work. Perhaps Ruhestand setzt sie in Freiheit would work better.

  53. Helen Thomas has set herself free
    From work and its drudgery
    But when you make news
    By dissing the Jews
    A pink slip is something you’ll see

  54. she finally found out
    that she ought to shut her mouth
    too little too late

  57. PCachu says:

    Dana: That would probably be because “I’m sorry you heard me say that” isn’t generally what that phrase is referring to.

    very welcome!

  67. sdferr says:

    Right about what Jon? Right about retiring, now that she’s demonstrated she hasn’t the wit not to reveal her bloodthirsty antisemitism to a formerly admiring leftist crowd?

  69. SBP says:

    52, 53: Cool. Now do a sestina.

  70. Jon says:

    Nothing anti-semetic about observing the UN created the jewish state in a place where it shouldn’t have been, in the middle of what had been the Ottomann empire.

  71. happyfeet says:

    nothing anti-semetic about observing you tarded

  72. Ginger says:

    I’m going to take another direction on this. We read that “insiders” have always known that woman is this radical and nasty. OK. Despicable yes. However, she is the one person sitting in that craven WH press room to call this administration out on manipulating the press in ways not seen since Nixon. And suddenly, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, she has been taken down? Come on! One more interestingly timed coincidence or the Chicago Way? I choose the latter and yet I laugh. She’s the victim of the very clowns she paid to entertain at her party. Hah!

  73. BJTexs says:

    As opposed to where, Jon? You do relealize that there wasn’t a nationality of “Palestinians” but rather a loose conglomeration of tribal Arabs, both Christian and Muslim, who happened to be in that area. Jews have 5000 years of history and, quite frankly, it was the logical thing to do. Also you’ve conveniently left out the fact that the UN was willing to establish a “Palestinian State” which was turned down by the representatives, including the surrounding Arab countries.

    Finally, Jon, what’s done is done. Would you like to see a reverse diaspora, with the entire nation of Israel relocated to other parts of the world just so you won’t be inconvenienced by their whole surviving and defending and such? Because blaming it on the UN suggests you would like to see an entirely different solution than the whole idea of “everybody needs to just get along and tolerate each others’ presence.”

    That, however, is inconvenient and hard so just close your eyes, tap your ruby shoes three times and chant “I wish there had never been and Israel…”

    I think happyfeet is right.

  74. happyfeet says:

    The only way president bumblefuck can ass-rape Israel like he’s ass-raped America is if team dirty socialist keeps a lid on the overt jew hate. The Thomas hoochie was entirely too honest I think.

  75. Jon says:

    how about Romania, Hungary, or even Miami Beach?

  76. BJTexs says:

    I think you are over-thinking this, Ginger. Helen Thomas is responsible for her own words. We have plenty of other examples of the Chicago Machine in this administration without dumping this one in their lap.

    happyfeet is right again!

  77. BJTexs says:

    Hey, Jon, how about we just reopen the camps? Most still exist, I believe.

    Putz!

  78. Ginger says:

    “The only way president bumblefuck can ass-rape Israel like he’s ass-raped America is if team dirty socialist keeps a lid on the overt jew hate. The Thomas hoochie was entirely too honest I think.”

    Hmmmm…..overthinking again, are we? Is “happyfeet is right again!” !!!!!! saying that Cupcake Helen was too honest and thus put a target on her own back? But, but we musn’t dump now, must we?

    Texas: Seems like when I wrote “radical and nasty,” “despicable” I was holding her responsible for her own world view and words. It doesn’t change my musings that, however wrong-headed and evil (even if in reality the POTUS’ actually agrees with her), one thing this administration cannot abide are journalists that speak independently. Not only has she confronted him directly, she also let the mask slip on 99% of this administration and a good deal of the WH press corps. Out!

  79. BJTexs says:

    OK, I see your point, Ginger. I think it’s a stretch to suggest that 99% of even this administration would secretly hold views that Jews need to “get the hell out of (occupied) Palestine.” Helen was on the far end of even the most radical administration Israel haters, methinks. Also let’s not forget how well their attempted demonizing of Limbaugh and Fox News had worked out.

    More like they saw and opportunity and snatched it to cover their own asses.

    Oh and Jon is still a putz!

  80. JD says:

    jon drools while standing up. And buggers goats. And hates some Joooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooos.
