HELEN THOMAS ANGRY AFTER 'KILL SELF' OVER CHENEY COMMENTS PUBLISHED

White House press doyenne Helen Thomas is plenty peeved at her longtime friend Albert Eisele, editor of THE HILL newspaper in Washington, D.C.

In a column this week headlined "Reporter: Cheney's Not Presidential Material," Eisele quoted Thomas as saying "The day Dick Cheney is going to run for president, I'll kill myself. All we need is one more liar."

Thomas also said: "I think he'd like to run, but it would be a sad day for the country if he does," according to Eisele's column.

But Thomas said yesterday at the White House that her comments to Eisele were for his ears only. "I'll never talk to a reporter again!" Thomas was overheard saying.

"We were just talking -- I was ranting -- and he wrote about it. That isn't right. We all say stuff we don't want printed," Thomas said.

But Eisele said that when he called Thomas, "I assume she knew that we were on the record."

"She's obviously very upset about it, but it was a small item -- until Drudge picked it up and broadcast it across the universe," Eisele said.

Still, he noted that reporters aren't that happy when the tables are turned. "Nobody has thinner skin than reporters," Eisele said with a laugh.

She just said that to box Cheney in. Now if he decides to run, the new headline will be:

"CHENEY WANTS HELEN THOMAS TO DIE"

This about Helen of Troy?.....what?... she IS Helen of Troy!

More like, Helen of Ploy (to hurt those wascally weepublicans).

It would be worth Dick Cheney announcing just to get her to do it or prove herself a liar (we knew that). We win either way.

She is obviously as ugly on the inside as the outside.
Someone should tell her that red lipstick is not becoming to dinosaurs.

"I'll never talk to a reporter again!"

That's good news. Now only if she would stop talking to the public and posing for pictures while she is at it. These HT threads complete with photos are painful. Ouch!

Oh my ... he leaked it! This calls for an investigation ... Karl Rove must've put Eisele up to this in order to embarrass Thomas .......

"She's obviously very upset about it, but it was a small item -- until Drudge picked it up and broadcast it across the universe," Eisele said.

Translation: "Hey, all I did was publish it in my public newspaper. But it's really Drudge's fault for publishing it somewhere that lots of people would actually *read* it..."

I am sorry VP Cheney is not going to run.

I would vote for him in a split second....and I do not believe there in American around who could beat this man in an election.

I have immense respect for this good man.

I'm betting Helen lied about killing herself.

Is this shades of the Madeleine Albright/Mort Kondracke comment in the Fox News Channel green room?

Mr. President, pleeezze call a press conference right now! We're "dying" to see the look on Helen's face! And give her the first question, OK?

And then bring out Cheney to answer it!

Oh Gawd, the beauty, the beauty of it!

She can dish it out, but when the shoe is on the other foot......

The word "hypocrite" comes to mind.

Hope she reads this.
