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.
