Why, at age 90, and after a devastating departure from her last job, is Helen Thomas returning to the battlefield of punditry?

[SNIP]

We spoke to Thomas on Friday, a day after she emerged from seven months of unwilling retirement with a new column in the weekly Falls Church News-Press. While she initially agreed to speak only about her new gig, Thomas was the one to bring up the circumstances that led to her downfall - her videotaped comments that Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine." She told us her words were "distorted": "I didn't tell the Zionists to get out of Israel, I told them to get out of Palestine, and to stop mistreating the Palestinians. It's very depraved and inhumane." She added: "I'm not anti-Semitic."

She hasn’t stopped lying.

"...and if you listen closely, you can hear it say 'Jews back to the camps in Europe'..."

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Thanks seanmerc. She's right, her words have been distorted -- by her. Including in this latest screed. She told the Jews to get back to Europe.

...a new column in the weekly Falls Church News-Press.

She just keeps turning up—like a bad penny.

A tarnished, worn-thin, not very valuable bad penny.

A penny for your thoughts, Helen? They aren’t worth even that.

This cockroach needs to crawl back under the rock she crawled out from and shut up .

Oh, so they should “get the hell out of Palestine” and return to Tel Aviv, Bnei Brak, Be’er Sheva and Tzefat? Is that what she said? No, I believe she said go back to “Germany, Poland, America, and wherever the hell else they came from”.
