Because I delayed my departure from Cincinnati (so I could have a few extra minute talking to my Dad and so I could watch my nephew’s Tae-kwon-do practice–he won the “floppy fish” exercise), I did not get any news today until I checked my text messages while dining with a reader just outside of Cleveland.
From him, I learned what the rest of the world already knew, “After 50 years of her left wing babbling, Helen Thomas is gone.”
Later, caught this on Instapundit:
And now that I’ve posted on this, albeit a tad perfunctorily, I trust our readers to chime in with commentary appropriate for the occasion.
Good riddance. Filthy old bag.
Is it too late to put her on the next ‘relief’ ship sailing for Gaza?
Ding dong the wicked witch is dead!
Maybe Helen can get the gig as ambassador to Israel for the Obambi administration. A few weeks of study with Calypso Louie and the Reverend Wright and she should be up to speed.
What a mask for Halloween.
#4 – Helio, I say that before a week has passed, ol’ Hezbollah Helen will be the newest correspondent for Al-Jazeera.
Though I must say, her face is the perfect excuse for the creation of the burkha.

This is a forced retirement that is long overdue. I wish her well, whether in the “stolen” US or back in her native land of Lebanon.
I honestly feel bad for that her career so badly, I mean…you do all that work all of those decades and in one moment, its all done.
Man, the looksism is as thick as a blast of Raid. Even here, where the men have no earthly reason to care what the hell Helen Thomas looks like.
We all know what Adonises the men in the White House press corps are, right?
— “Wait, it doesn’t matter for them…”
#8 – Lorie, you obviously don’t think that either Major Garrett or Bret Baier of Fox News are lookers, now do you? I’d let either one of them corner me for an interview. 😉
Please. Helen Thomas’s looks aside, it was her attitude and her biases that made her more ugly.
Name at least one attractive female straight MSM journalist. (Note that I said JOURNALIST, not correspondent. There is a difference.)

“Name at least one attractive female straight MSM journalist.”
Actually, I think Greta Van Susteren is pretty hot. I’d have to think for a while about other possible straight ones.
In the “family” corner, there’s always the incomparable Tammy Bruce — who I think is incomparable for a whole lot of reasons…
Maybe Helen now has time to visit a real hair dresser.
My favorite picture was of Helen, Obama and the three cup cakes.
All these years and only the liberals knew Helen Thomas was an anti semite. And Obama’s picture with Helen was precious…
one Jew hater to another.

how sweet….
Lori, I’m straight. And Helen Thomas isn’t just ugly- most of us aren’t gonna be winning any beauty contests at her age- she’s the sort of ugly that can only come from the nastiness within making itself apparent on the surface. She’s bad-character ugly, and you don’t have to be straight to appreciate that.
And, “lookism”? wow, that’s SO 1990’s.
“And, “lookism”? wow, that’s SO 1990’s.”
I would have been very happy to leave it in the 1990’s. Too bad so many other people aren’t. As long as it continues to be active as a concept, it will probably go on being active as a term in the vocabulary of those who notice its existence.
No argument here about Helen Thomas being anybody’s idea of a beauty queen. But as far as bad-character ugly is concerned, she’s got nothing on some of the creeps in Congress.
