#3 Speaking ill of the dead does little positive. But I will sit idle and listen to people sing her praises.

#4 Mama always said if you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all.

~~I guess "It's nice she's gone, at long last" wouldn't pass Mama's muster.~~

So I'll shut up.

#6 I think gorb said it best.

If I were to slop the news into one bowl, Helen Thomas died on the anniversary of a white hispanic mossad agent gunning down a theatre of black peoples watching a film about growing tomatoes and cursive is racist.

#7 I do believe I'll do the worst insult to Thomas possible(in her mind). Ignore her.

#10 "Does she get 72 virgins?"

That's a mis-tranlation, Al. It's really 72 Virginians - starting with George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

So I sincerely hope so. ;-p

#11 As H. L. Mencken once said, "I have never wished a man dead, but I have read many an obituary with pleasure."

#12 The local Chevra Kadisha stopped just short of issuing a nihum ah-vay-leem [comforting of mourners] statement.

#17 Isn't that kind of harsh on the woman OldSpook - Associating Thomas with the Wicked Witch?

After all what did the Wicked Witch do to you to deserve such treatment?

#19 Besoeker, once again you impressed me. :-)

May those who love her be comforted by their memories, grateful that she did not long live outcast from the news world she had so loved.

I believe she counted herself among those Lebanese of a Christian faith, not a Muslim one, so the number and posdibility of virgins, Virginians, or white raisins is immaterial.

#21 I believe she counted herself among those Lebanese of a Christian faith

Right, no raisins for her then. She'll get judgment. I can live with that.
