Journalist Helen Thomas, who has covered every administration since Eisenhower's and occupies front-row center in the White House briefing room is taking heat for comments she recently made on Israel.

 

Thomas, a longtime critic of Israeli policy, replied: "Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine." She continued to say that the Palestinians are "occupied" and that the Jews should "Go home" — to Germany, Poland, America and "everywhere else."

 

The speaker's agency representing Thomas has dropped her, and a high school canceled her commencement speech. Members of the White House Correspondents Association, which oversees seating in the briefing room, discussed the Thomas situation over weekend emails and were meeting Monday to hash out a response, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

Helen Thomas has announced she has a new plan to keep her job. She is going to change her name to "Pat Buchanan" and instead of occasionally saying something anti-Semitic, every other sentence will blame the Jews for something.

 

"Mr. President, why are you keeping troops in Afghanistan. Is it the fault of the Jews?"

She was syndicated by Hearst Newspapers, and also associated with the speaking agency "Nine speakers".
