If Vice President Cheney is indeed a serious darkhorse candidate for president in 2008, as Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward recently suggested, he probably wont 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 Bushs 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 whos running the show, Thomas also noted Cheneys 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 isnt.
The day I say Dick Cheney is going to run for president, Ill kill myself, she told The Hill. All we need is one more liar.
Thomas added, I think hed like to run, but it would be a sad day for the country if he does.

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.
