O’Reilly calls Helen Thomas “Wicked Witch,” she flies off handle

by editor on February 14, 2009

Get the headline? He said she sounds like a witch. Witches ride brooms. Brooms have handles. Thomas flew off the handle. Therefore, we were also saying Thomas is a witch.

Damn, we hate it when the explanation of the headline is longer than the headline itself.

So back to the subject at hand. Bill O’Reilly calls White House reporter Helen Thomas the “Wicked Witch of the East.”

Courtney Martin, a representative from the Women’s Media Center, has a tizzy. She calls O’Reilly sexist for using a cliché about women as witches. O’Reilly wraps things up by telling Martin that she and the WMC “are being used by the left to do this nonsense.”

Seriously, Bill, you may have gone too far this time. Calling Helen Thomas a witch is wrong. Just plain wrong. It’s offensive to witches everywhere.

The Women Media Center is only interested in defending women who champion the same causes they do. Translation, they will only defend liberal women. During the campaign Palin was frequently said to look like a porn star. That doesn’t have anything to do with her policies or abilities. Where was the Women’s Media Center??? For that matter, where were they when O.J. killed Nicole or Bill was having sex with Monica? I’ll tell you where. Keeping their mouths shut for fear of upsetting other liberals. They’re just like other liberal groups, they’d rather look like hypocrites than bite one of the hands that feeds them.

Bill O’Reilly said that Helen Thomas SOUNDED like a witch. SOUNDED…..SOUNDED…..SOUNDED.

Now if you think she looked like a witch, that is your opinion, not Bill O’s

Okay, we think she looks like a witch.

By the way, reread the article. We didn’t say he thought she looks like a witch.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who evidently sees a resemblance between Helen Thomas and a witch!

Fox did a close-up of her face, this morning. I had just finished breakfast. I’m pissed… ’nuff said.

By the way, she’s WAY too freaking fugly to be a witch!

I am sure even witches would deny her entry into their coven.
