The spotted ensemble is one of her “better looks”.

Does ABC news mean the outrage of folks who heard the comments, or Helen Thomas’s outrage that folks might be offended by what she said?

She could probably have a second career as some kind of leftist columnist now. Her feeling about Israel is perfectly within the mainstream of that crowd.

Surprisingly, NBC showed the Internet video that did her in, with all of the damning quotes. But the last half of the report by Andrea Mitchell was all praises so those with a 10-15 second attention span would be left with a positive attitude toward her.

That was her first career; the liberal media covered for her and referred to her as a journalist.

She retired because she was incompetent.

She could be a spokes person for Walter B. Cook funeral home.

It’s been a long time since I said, “Good riddance!” with such feeling.

It doesn’t matter how you leave, Hellen. Just leave.
