As far as I’m concerned the Helen Thomas story is already overdone. and old news.
She was a vile anti-Semite that was able to get away with her prejudice for years because she was a Liberal icon.
Good riddance to bad rubbish and don’t let the door hit you where the Good Lord split you, Helen.
A much bigger story that I’m sure will fall through the cracks of the step-n-fetch it media is the cozy relationship Obama’s chief of staff Rahn Emanuel has with an associate of BP.
From The Los Angeles Times:
In case you were tempted to buy the faux Washington outrage at BP and its gulf oil spill in recent days, here's a story that reveals a little-known corporate political connection and the quiet way the inner political circles intersect, protect and care for one another in the nation's capital and Chicago.
We already knew that BP and its folks were significant contributors to the record $750-million war chest of Barack Obama's 2007-08 campaign.

Now, we learn the details of a connection of Rahm Emanuel, the Chicago mayoral wannabe, current Obama chief of staff, ex-representative, ex-Clinton money man and ex-Windy City political machine go-fer.
Shortly after Obama's happy inaugural, eyebrows rose slightly upon word that, as a House member, Emanuel had lived the last five years rent-free in a D.C. apartment of Democratic colleague Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut and her husband, Stanley Greenberg.
For an ordinary American, that would likely raise some obvious tax liability questions.
But like Emanuel, the guy overseeing the Internal Revenue Service now is another Obama insider, Tim Geithner, who had his own outstanding tax problems but skated through confirmation anyway by the Democratic-controlled Congress.
Remember this was all before the letters BP stood for Huge Mess. Even before the Obama administration gave BP a safety award.
Now follow these standard Washington links if you can:
Greenberg's consulting firm was a prime architect of BP's recent rebranding drive as a green petroleum company, down to green signs and the slogan "Beyond Petroleum."
Greenberg's company is also closely tied to a sister Democratic outfit -- GCS, named for the last initials of Greenberg, James Carville, another Clinton advisor, and Bob Shrum, John Kerry's 2004 campaign manager.

The more I think about all that oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico, the it appears to be analogous to the Obama administration itself with all its slimy dark and toxic secrets, dirty deals and different set of rules that only applies to them.
I’m not a believer in Karma, but I know the Left is. Those shady Chicago tactics are what’s really spilling into the water.
