| Helen Thomas announced Monday that she is retiring, effective immediately. Her decision came after her controversial comments about Israel and the Palestinians were captured on videotape and widely disseminated on the Internet. Thomas later issued a statement: ``I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians. They do not reflect my heart-felt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance. May that day come soon.'' Thomas will mark her 90th birthday on Aug. 4.

| #12 AP - I don't think Ted or Hanoi Jane ever felt an ounce of 'regret' over their part in getting a few million people killed in Cambodia and Vietnam, a few thousand U.S. Servicemen killed, and not to mention the ones tortured by first prolonging the war (by supporting the north) and then refusing to honor our commitment to the south under the treaty. To them it was/is an 'acceptable price' - as long as they don't have to pay it. Funny how Liberals are awfully 'liberal' with other people's money - or lives. |

| #11 Her apology was a regret that she got caught and caused her trouble and pain. It was not an apology for her viscious and hateful statements made against Israel and the Jewish people. They will never see the error of their ways or the consequences of their actions. People like Ted Kennedy never apologized for their actions that resulted in several million people killed in Cambodia. Leftists and fascists never apologize to anybody. It is below their dignity. They do regret things, that's all you will get from them. |

| #10 I hope a few (thousand) liberals follow her example, starting with Shrillery. Katie Clueless should also have to find a new job. |

| #7 Let me translate her "apology": I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians. Damn. There went my cushy job. They do not reflect my heart-felt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance. Like every good liberal, I mentioned both parties just so I wouldn't have to take a firm position and therefore will never have to apologize for anything. But any liberal worth their salt will know that I mean the Joooos are to blame for all the unrest in the middle east. May that day come soon. May Israel dry up and blow away tomorrow so peace may be restored to the land the day after. --------------------------------------------- Helen et al, what would you all do if it came to pass that Israel did just dry up and blow away? Barak basically did that about ten years ago, and the "Palestinians" still weren't satisfied. Neither was anyone else. You know damn well that the whole region would just turn upon themselves if they didn't turn on the rest of the world first. The only thing worth saving over there is Israel. |

| #4 Should have been sidelined long ago because she pontificates instead of asking questions. |

| #3 she is almost 90 that means that for the past 20 years or so she has continued spouting anti Semitic, leftist, jihad apology drivel just for the pure joy of it. |

| #2 She's so nasty it is actually hard to think or say anything about her that would be fair or appropriate. The joy I take in this moment will be exceeded only when the nasty old bag breathes her last... |
