Helen Thomas is insane

Here's the proof. (Via more than one person.)

I'd say that she's definiteiy in the running for having her picture next to a new definition in the next new edition of the American Heritage Dictionary:

fuck·tard

NOUN:
Offensive Slang 1. Used as a disparaging term for an obscenely morally retarded person. 2. A person considered to be extremely foolish or socially inept due to beliefs counter to the general American population. See FISK.

Goog grief. But there she is, in all her imbecilic glory, on the White House website for everyone to see. They ought to have huge, glowing arrows to Ms. Thomas' comments, and a direct link from the front page.

Yeesh.

MR. FLEISCHER: Yeah, Helen, George wants to 'attack innocent Iraqi lives' in revenge for Gulf War casualties over a decade ago, and that would be the moral equivalent of the suicide bombings in Tel Aviv. Next question, please?

Droolingly senile is more like it. Someone should have pity on her and send her off for a nice long rest. Then MoDo and Molly and the others could come to visit. I think Ari was very tolerant, don't you?

Jack,

It's only a matter of time before she starts referring to GWB as "Ike." What's the latest euphemism for retirement home, again? "Mature managed living community" or something?

It truely is a shame to watch Helen Thomas make a fool of herself in front of a national audience.
Though I disagree with the political views of Ms. Thomas, I still admire her for what she has done with her life. Like it or not, Ms. Thomas has achieved what many only dream about. I am greatful that the the Bush White House has enough class not to betlittle or embarass Ms. Thomas when she makes statements that are somewhat on the bizarre side. I tip my hat to you Ms. Thomas, but Father Time has finally caught up with you.
Time to call it a day. God Bless You.

I'd like to see a "smoking gun" with it in Helen Thomas' hand.
