Boy oh boy, I know what the DUmmie's talking about. Only I was in the line at the grocery store, or maybe a gas station. Could've been the Walmart parking lot. But that's not important right now. See, I have a photographic memory when I'm eavesdropping on other people's conversations that are completely none of my business. Sometimes I even save them up for weeks and actually add, I mean remember new details as it ferments in my brain.
Anyway these 2 lefties were talking. I know they were lefties because people on the right don't blame the jooooooos every time a Palestinian has a hangnail or some airhead college student gets flattened by a steamroller.
Anyway, the woman (I think it was a woman, sometimes it's hard to tell) says, "That Helen Thomas is so smart, she speaks truth to power and gets crucified...no pun intended."
Then the guy says, "I didn't get to hear the news for a few days cuz I was down in Arizona protesting the racist, fascist governor and her illegal law, then I was at Lou's house in Humboldt County helping him harvest his crop. What did she say?"
"Well," she says, "You have to understand nuance, which most rightwing nuts don't understand. She said the jooooooooos should leave Israel so the Palestinians can have their land back. I mean it's only those Bible-thumping idiots who believe that nonsense in the Bible. Well, even if the Romans did count them in the census but then they all left and went to Poland and Germany and the US. Besides I'm pretty sure their Bible mentions Palestine but they just want to ignore that."
"What did they do to her?"
"Who?"
"Helen Thomas!"
"Oh. They made her quit so Faux News can take her seat! Imagine giving her seat to those joooooooo-loving reich wing corporate whores!"
"Who made her quit?"
"Those Christian corporations! I'm pretty sure Poppy Bush got the CIA involved and Rove too! They forced her to say something the simple-minded couldn't understand."
Well, that's all I remember. Besides I was so disgusted I wanted to get away as fast as I could.
