Jonah Goldberg -- who is a better writer than me and who actually gets paid for expressing his opinion -- articulates his (and my) thoughts on the Helen Thomas fiasco here.
In short -- did it really take a remark as despicable and outrageous (beyond just a "slur" as the great VDH points out) as this to get people to stop coddling Helen Thomas, who has been a left-wing racist anti-semite for her entire career? So painfully obvious to so many of us, yet she was tolerated, accommodated, and even honored, by presidential administrations of both parties, and venerated by her colleagues to the highest seat in the pressroom. There is Something. Wrong. Somewhere.
