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.

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. This is the most delicious irony of the decade.
From someone who, in a perfect world, would often hear the following (in its entirety) answer to her questions:
Don't be Silly!

Helen Thomas is really a transvestite!? It's that all this time I thought she was an unattractive woman, but she's really an ugly man.

...like when President Bush called a reporter an "a$$hole" - I didn't see the press having any problem printing that statement. And I didn't have a bit of trouble believing it...

Ditto back to you, Fatima. As long as Helen isn't messy about it. Perspiring to death in Paris sounds neat.

Clinton's favorite thing about Helen Thomas was that the top of her head is flat, and her hair is thick enough that the Bubba didn't need a coaster... ;-)
