I was really tempted to write,

"NO, She isn't dead, yet!"

She came, and was interviewed by Andrew Denton. Seemed pretty alert to me.

Here is a transcript of the interview.

arthur, thank you for sharing the interview/link. It's interesting.

Jo-Ann Armao, an opinion writer for the Washington Post wrote a short piece in today's edition. The full text is below. Here is a portion:

" It is one thing to ask a hard-hitting question to elicit real information and an entirely separate matter to grandstand for attention. Thomas long ago crossed a line and she finally ended up paying the price. ItÂs a sad end to her lifeÂs work, but even sadder is how the rest of the media were willing to go along for the ride. "

This comes from a woman who fully knows how she benefits from Thomas' contribution to journalism in Washington, DC.
