By the way the person we speak about was already working the year i

As a general rule, I think that people should remain at work for as
long as they are able and eager to do their jobs. But he was not
wishing Helen Thomas a happy retirement. She is already retired. He
was speaking of her death as if he were eager for it to happen. A
person who insists on talking that way should not represent himself as
a Jew, lest others think his way of thinking is typical of the way
Jews think. I find it embarrassing to belong to any subset that
includes someone who thinks it's appropriate to carry on in that
fashion.
