Rogue state loses even more credibility!
The recent events in Israel are grabbing so much world attention that they're even diverting some of it away from the tragedy unfolding of Florida. They're even threatening to snatch the lime light away from the world of frivolous celebrity gossip (and just as Lindsay Lohan got her prescription filled!). Fortunately the world of high powered politics and international brinkmanship aren't without their outrageous moments. Take Helen Thomas for instance.
spouting Thomas
Now for those not in the know Helen Thomas is the White House Press rep from the Hearst chain. Thomas was cornered on May 27 @ the White House Jewish Heritage Celebration by another member of the press. Motivated by mischief or boredom the fellow asked Ms. Thomas what she thought of the Israel situation. Ms Thomas replied in no uncertain terms. In fact you can hear those terms for yourself because the naughty fellow who put her on the spot recorded her and then posted the clip to youtube. Here it is:
civilization could collapse because of helen thomas
Some people are now claiming that her remarks were a bit anti Semitic - probably the "go the hell back to Poland" parts. She might have said "Go back to your homeland, Florida" but Pres Obama doesn't need anymore shit to deal with right now than he absolutely has to. In fact the situation is so bad that an old foe Ari Fleischer, the guy who smirked and snickered through that 911 press conference back in the day - is claiming that Obama should let her have it, and revoke her press credentials. A small enough price to pay for peace in the middle east?even PerezHilton knows his limits!
If only she were Kristen Stewart or Pissy Krissy aka Kristew, then this whole can of worms might be neatly wrapped up with a public apology, followed by a stint in rehab, and then some awareness raising public service announcements - "Hi, I'm Kristen Stewart from Twilight to tell you that rape isn't a joke!"
now get that foot out of your mouth and start saying sorry like you mean it
Since this is the real world of international politics, and Ms. Thomas is a member of the mainstream media, & not some blogger crouched in their underwear and huddled over a keyboard with a bottle while desperately trying not to spill the Ramen Noodles - she might well have hell to pay. So if worse comes to worst then remember the magic words "I just want to apologize, and say that I'm sorry if anyone was hurt by what I said." That might not be exactly what folk want to hear, but it usually does the trick.

Psychic Reaction Detector - wrecked like Shrek
BTW Speaking of Kristew, or Pissy Krissy, and her recent fit of remorse, Twilight fans will be glad to hear that she's gearing up to star in a brand new non Twilight related movie. So far there's no working title but there is a definite plot: When an odious vampire takes her lover, a ghost must learn risky spells to bring him home.
It does sound promising, and much better than the original script, which was a Michael Bay non Transformers related project for Megan Fox, before they had their high profile falling out. That one went something like this: A girl archaeologist is turned into a lizard. Can she convince a monstrous time-traveler to restore her? Hope that Bumblebee can get her out of that one!
