If Vice President Cheney is indeed a “serious darkhorse” candidate for president in 2008, as Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward recently suggested, he probably won’t want to enlist legendary White House reporter Helen Thomas to help with his press relations, even though she has proposed a campaign strategy he could run on.
Thomas, a syndicated columnist for Hearst Newspapers who has covered the White House since the Kennedy administration, wrote in May that Cheney “certainly could campaign on the theme that he has had experience in running the White House.”
Thomas made the suggestion in a column she wrote about President Bush’s not being notified about a terror scare caused by an off-course Cessna airplane until after it was over, according to Editor & Publisher magazine.
Declaring that the incident “again raises the question of who’s running the show,” Thomas also noted Cheney’s central role on Sept. 11 and the widely held view that he is “probably the most powerful vice president in recent times, perhaps in U.S. history.”
But asked this week if she is promoting a Cheney candidacy, Thomas made it clear she isn’t.
“The day I say Dick Cheney is going to run for president, I’ll kill myself,” she told The Hill. “All we need is one more liar.”
Thomas added, “I think he’d like to run, but it would be a sad day for the country if he does.”

Please run Dick!
The sailor in that photo looks real thrilled to be in the presence of greatness, doesn't he?!
Well Helen, this comes to mind:

If you are of the opinion that the contemplation of suicide is sufficient evidence of a poetic nature, do not forget that actions speak louder than words.
RUN, DICK, RUN!!!
Nice piece of unbiased reporting from Ms. Thomas.....I always thought a Dick might get her in the end....Run Dick Run!!!!!
This from a woman who voted for Bill Clinton.
Just listening to that biatch...is enough to make me wonder when McClellan is finally going to start chewing some of their asses out from the podium.
Sounds like a two-fer to me!!
I couldn't agree more. Impartiality my a$$. What a pathetic waste of space.
