Yeah, I heard that on the radio during my lunchtime errands. And, I mean, she's close to ninety years old, so it's not like it's not high time - but I wasn't with the people hollering that she should be fired before the retirement decision was announced, even. I've always wondered what made her so goddamn special in the press room, but hers isn't a job where I think shocking insensitivity should be a firing offense. In the week between her comments and today, there's apparently been some reprimanding and some distance placed between her and themselves by various organizations - all of which I think is appropriate. I was just so stunned by the thing in the first place, which I hadn't heard about until this morning. "Go home to Poland", for fuck's sake.
