Vezina Trophy winner Thomas mulling sabbatical?

http://twitter.com/#!/Proteautype/status/208365856126808064

According to sources, Vezina Trophy winner and royal pain Tim Thomas is considering sitting out next season.

Let us rephrase.

The 38-YEAR-OLD Tim Thomas is thinking about taking a sabbatical.

Now isn’t the time to be wasting another year of your hockey life, Timmy.

Many speculate, however, that Thomas is only hinting at this to force the Bruins into trading him. Thomas has one year left on his contract which pays him $3 million, although his cap hit is $5 million. His no-trade clause lifts July 1.

Amen. In Rask we trust. RT @martysg Tim Thomas demonstrates yet again…there's no "I" in TEAM and there's no "team" in Tim #fb

— Mike Landers (@ukplissken) June 1, 2012

If T. Thomas really said he would sit out a year, he is using the only leverage he has in trying to determine where he lands in a trade.

— Marc Bertrand (@Marc_Bertrand) June 1, 2012

Funny to think 1 year ago today, Game 1 of the SCF, nobody had any problem with Tim Thomas. Why has that changed?

— Eric Wilbur (@GlobeEricWilbur) June 1, 2012

Ya Tim Thomas is def a team player he is gunna take his last year off with the #bruins and make it do he can't be traded and still get paid

Graham, Ayotte ‘disturbed’ by Rice meet: ‘Concerns greater than before’

http://twitter.com/#!/jamiedupree/status/273455177351184385

Senators McCain, Graham and Ayotte met with lying liar who lies, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, today.

RT @frankthorpnbc: Sens McCain, Ayotte and Graham leave their meeting with Susan Rice in the Capitol #NBCPolitics instagr.am/p/SifG4Fkztz/

— NBC News (@NBCNews) November 27, 2012

Evidently, the answers Ms. Rice provided to them regarding what happened in Benghazi were true to form: Incompetence at best, lies at worst.

RT @thefix Graham and Ayotte say they have more concerns after meeting with Susan Rice than they did before.

Graham labeled Rice’s Sunday talk show explanation of the Benghazi attack a “statement disconnected from reality”

— Jamie Dupree (@jamiedupree) November 27, 2012

Graham on Rice: “If you don’t know what happened, just say you don’t know what happened. The American people got bad information.”

— Luke Russert (@LukeRussert) November 27, 2012

Graham: “It was unjustified to give information {on attack that was false} by Rice and Obama just weeks before an election.”

— Luke Russert (@LukeRussert) November 27, 2012

RT @nicedeb: Graham just after meeting with Susan Rice: “We not even close to getting answers to basic questions on Benghazi.”

— Melissa Clouthier (@MelissaTweets) November 27, 2012

Not even close to getting answers to basic questions. What a surprise! But, wait. It’s Graham, so … squish alert? So far, he won’t rule out a vote to confirm Rice for Secretary of State.

HMMM. RT @domeniconbc: Graham can’t answer if he’d support Rice for SOS… still has many questions, he says

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) November 27, 2012

SENATE: Graham, McCain, Ayote – Benghazi caucus – won’t support appointment of Rice to Sec. of State until more questions answered.

— Joshua Sackheim (@JoshuaSackheim) November 27, 2012

Who wants to bet that McCain and Graham will vote for Susan Rice but with “very serious reservations”…?

— NeoKong (@The_NeoKong) November 27, 2012

Or will he?

RICE MEET: It was interesting that Sen Lindsey Graham noted how Democrats blocked John Bolton for UN Ambassador

— Jamie Dupree (@jamiedupree) November 27, 2012

Hmm.

And from the Left? Good, old sexism and race card playing, natch.

Anyone else think Ayotte is the token woman McCain and Graham needed to help them attack Rice? Too bad they couldn’t get a black woman.

— Jennifer(@jhw2212) November 27, 2012

Disgusting.

So does America RT @michellemalkin HMMM RT @domeniconbc Graham can’t answer if he’d support Rice for SOS.. still has many questions, he says

— Alana Fulcher (@AlanaF3035) November 27, 2012

Yep. Americans demand answers, not more lies and incompetence.

Twitchy will continue to update with further developments.

Update:

Predictably, Lefties are continuing to bash Kelly Ayotte as a gender-traitor for having the temerity to question Susan Rice’s integrity and competence.

29 Reasons You Should Never Go To The South Of France

So cliché.

1. People have this idea that the south of France is some kind of heaven on earth.

2. Like it’s this coastal paradise with unparalleled views.

3. People say it’s positively magical.

Elementals / Getty Images

4. But the truth is…

5. It’s just not that special.

Bluejayphoto / Getty Images

6. First of all, it’s so out of date.

Anerix / Getty Images

7. EVERYTHING is uphill.

Bluejayphoto / Getty Images

8. And the food is just way too rich.

9. Honestly, how is this necessary?

10. The countryside would be nice…

11. If it wasn’t ruined by all the quaint little villages.

12. It’s way too easy to get lost in all the little back streets.

Ballun / Getty Images

13. St Tropez is a god-awful garbage dump.

Liligraphie / Getty Images

14. It has absolutely no charm.

Bangkaewphoto / Getty Images

15. And the views are just the worst.

Venakr / Getty Images

16. If you go there, you basically have to have a boat.

Stevanzz / Getty Images

17. And you’re forced to venture out on that disconcertingly blue water.

Janoka82 / Getty Images

18. I mean what’s the deal with the Cote D’Azure?

19. Nobody asked for this.

20. If you get too far from the beach, then you have all of the unnatural wildlife to deal with.

21. And you’ll probably get accidentally drenched in some secret waterfall.

22. There’s just nothing remotely interesting about the natural landscape.

23. It’s basically a wasteland.

Jackjelly / Getty Images

24. The historical landmarks leave a lot to be desired.

25. The wineries might as well close their doors, because what even is this?

27. More like CAN U NOT?

28. Honestly, what are people thinking?

29. This place is abhorrent and you should never, ever go there.

Chrissy Teigen ‘would have 100% flipped that light switch’ on juror

http://twitter.com/#!/chrissyteigen/status/356954144537444352

As Twitchy reported, the first of the George Zimmerman jurors to speak publicly appeared tonight on “Anderson Cooper 360″ (in shadow) to give her take on the trial and the jury’s not guilty verdict. More than a few viewers fantasized that her face would be revealed, and if model Chrissy Teigen were working the lights, those viewers would have gotten their wish.

Just kidding, folks.

http://twitter.com/#!/chrissyteigen/status/356959664853880832

We’re not too keen on the book deal ourselves, but “coward”? We doubt any of the jurors is too anxious to see her face on one of these T-shirts.
