The first remnants of Helen Thomas' bigoted, anti-Semitic statements surfaced on the Drudge Report, via RabbiLive.com on late Friday.
Soon after, syndicated, SF-based, talk-show host, Michael Savage devoted his entire Friday show to Thomas' remarks and was the first major media figure to call out Thomas and called for the White House to strip the veteran Washington reporter of her credentials.
Savage and his callers were outraged over Thomas statements and his reaction indicated that the story may survive the normally semi-forgetful weekend news cycle.
Not so.
On Monday, Thomas was scheduled to speak at a Bethesda, Md. high school commencement ceremony, but was soon asked not to appear because of objections to her remarks, and soon thereafter, her own speaking agency dropped her.
At that notice, it would only be a matter of time before Thomas would be out.
She "retired" on Monday, effective immediately
