There is a great benefit that innurs to us from the progressive’s hypocritical muzzling and shoving the creature back: Its not what the Muslims would do. Such a thing drives a wedge between that unholy coalition.

And, yes, Tatyana got it just right. More’s the pity that we, the public, know well that “they muzzled and shoved the creature back, and made a show of injured innocence,” and meekly again accept another cover up. Instead, perhaps we should take their own credo to heart and learn not to “waste a crisis” in order to shine light where it is desperately needed.

Helen Thomas outdid Dan Rather in her last poisonous appearance onstage….and that took a lot.

But we should not kid ourselves: someone like Thomas who held centerstage so long wjll not go quietly, and she, like Rather, will never accept exile. She is one of the MSM elite, almost all of whom are of one mind one heart — and think as she does. Just as Rather managed to get himself in front of cameras again after his Fall from Grace, it is likely Thomas will find like minds who will celebrate her as the Grande Dame (more like Grand Damn) of the Press, and will grant her access to her public before long. I woudn’t be surprised if it was this Administration itself who manages this: they clearly control the MSM even more than our current Congress.

armchair pessimist,

I’m not so sure. If this opportunity is used to show that her positions were based on ignorance (ie, that most Israelis came from Germany and Poland), it could awaken a little curiosity about the merits of other anti-Israeli positions.

Agree with Tatyana. H.T. was a useful Exhibit A for us.

Helen Thomas has been poisonous for years. She’s now made herself glow-in-the-dark radioactive. It couldn’t have happened too soon, and it highlights the dangers of the Left telling the truth about itself–a truth we should demand

Baklava – I’d agree with you if/when the one sacked will be Obama himself…

so true Tatyana. So true.

There are those moments though that Obama brings forward 🙂

Well, that’s too bad. Her sacking is more beneficial to the Left, as now they can pretend she’s not part of their mental outlook. She got a cat out of the bag – now they muzzled and shoved the creature back, and made a show of injured innocence.

They will camouflage better next time.
