Maybe I'll do it, but I think other things are more interesting in this case. I wonder - is she demented, or is she in full possession of her faculties? In the latter case, she must be aware that her remarks are profoundly offensive to millions of people. She may also be aware that she will embolden millions of antisemites all over the world, including in Europe and in America, mostly on the Left. That she'll become their latest patron saint. Did she do it because she knows she is old and doesn't have much time - and wants to be blunt? Or, does she expect to become a martyr for the cause, by committing professional suicide? Will she be fired, or only reprimanded? Will Obama still hug her, or will he throw her under the bus? How will the ADL react - strongly, or in a watered down fashion? I better stop now, for I have many more question.... :)

Thomas gets dropped by agency - On Media: Thomas gets dropped by agency June 06, 2010 Categories:White House.Thomas gets dropped by agency Nine Speakers, the agency that represents Helen Thomas, has dropped her as a client. This comes in the wake of controversial remarks on the Middle East. The notice, obtained by POLITICO: It is with a heavy heart that Nine Speakers, Inc. announces its resignation as the agent for Helen Thomas, Dean of the White House Press Corps. Ms. Thomas has had an esteemed career as a journalist, and she has been a trailblazer for women, helping others in her profession, and beyond. However, in light of recent events, Nine Speakers is no longer able to represent Ms. Thomas, nor can we condone her comments on the Middle East. Nine Speakers will continue to enthusiastically represent all of our other current and future clients. politico.com

I sent Helen an email with a subject line of " your comments below are a disappointment". The text stated: http://www.breitbart.tv/helen-thomas-tells-jews-get-the-hell-out-of-palestine-and-go-back-to-germany-poland The naïve Obama foreign policy is a joke. Time for the MSM to start taking its job seriously instead of aiding and abetting stupidity. Sorry, Helen. I have admired some of your comments, but you missed the boat here and wrt Obama’s foreign policy at large. The man is wholly out of his depth on most fronts. I blame the liberal media for its widespread malpractice. I have corresponded with Helen in the past when she has taken a more enlightened position and she has always responded. So far, I haven't received a reply...lol.
