"She should lose her job over this," Fleischer said in an email. "As someone who is Jewish, and as someone who worked with her and used to like her, I find this appalling."
"She is advocating religious cleansing. How can Hearst stand by her? If a journalist, or a columnist, said the same thing about blacks or Hispanics, they would already have lost their jobs."
Fischer, as usual, is wrong. I suffered Helen over a decade at the UP when she was the junior White House correspondent to Merriman Smith. She was, and continues to be, an opinionated bitch. But she is a pro and a good one. Her origins are Lebanese but I believe she is a Copt, who naturally would have Arab sympathies, though one does not need to have Arab sympathies to concludes that Natanyahu is a shmuck. I wish people would drop this; she's over 89. OK?
