“The day I say Dick Cheney is going to run for president, I’ll kill myself,” she told The Hill

People are interpreting this incorrectly. She didn't say "The day Dick Cheney runs for president I'll kill myself." She said that she would kill herself the day she makes the statement "Dick Cheney is going to run for president."

But her statement already included the words "Dick Cheney is going to run for president." Consequently she has already made the statement and must kill herself today if she is to keep her word.
