I assume that many of the young readers of "Thoughts" don't even know who Helen Thomas is.....and my opinion is that is a good thing.She is 89 years old and has been a member of the White House Reporter's Corps for "too many years"
She has been a fixture at Presidential News briefings and has had the "knack " of asking the "sound bite " question that in many instances was embarrassing to the President.....whether Democrat or Republican.......some of you may say that's ok...however I found her a distraction and always wondered how it was allowed to continue throughout the years.
Recently she was asked a question.......and she didn't answer it well.....and in fact she should just retire .......
She said the Jews should go home to Germany,Poland or America or wherever they came from and leave the Palestinians alone.........I realize the tensions in the region.....and her remarks will not help in any form....She tried to backtrack today by saying that she regretted her remarks concerning the Jews and Palestinians......The way I see it she meant her remarks to the Jews and no one else.....
Helen......you go home.....and leave us alone....Also noted is the President's "silence " on her "kind words "
