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.
Developing...
Nope, absolutely no bias here, move along.
I would pay to see the Vice President sneak up behind her and yell boo!
If she were to kill herself...........how would we know??
Big time!
I think Lynn Cheney would take your money.
Do you think Helen Thomas can drink a glass of water while Bagdad Bob talks?
DYK whether the Thomas is legitimately credentialed at the WH? I remember reading once that she isn't, but no one will have the wretched sow removed b/c of certain factors.
BWAHAHAHAHA! No honor among theives.
Oh. I think Cheney would make a fine president, BTW.
Why would you request such a thing...do you want to cause mass wretching?!
[Helen]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.
***Thomas THINKS Cheney would like to run????? She arrogantly presumes to KNOW what the hell Cheney wants to do??? Thomas PRESUMES she THINKS when she proves to be at best an unthoughtful offensively glib buffoon usually left with her cloven foot stuck in her mouth - like now. Super delusional Helen Thomas' thinking process shows nothing more than a peevish self-serving conjuring-up. Helen Thomas is not the only MSM vintage-icon totally incapable of honest reflection. Thomas-think is leftover gargle with vintage whine.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
Helen Thomas' perennial hate speech is her only asset, and the MSM uses that asset for what its worth. But, honestly, who takes Helen Thomas for anything but a prime fool in the MSM farce?

Near extinction
It's more like she "feels" what Cheney wants to do. To use the word "think" is a stretch... She projects on to others what she wants to believe about them. Facts don't matter. It's awful ... you're so right, purpleland.
The pearls are a nice touch.

***Well, you put it best: "She projects on to others what she wants to believe about them" which bespeaks of an congenital defect, e.g., Helen's psyche is "just not put together right." (credit Fatima's theory)
A Helen Thomas rule? You want a Helen Thomas rule? I got yer rule right here: if you post her name you have to apologize for even making people think of her ugly face. If you post a picture of that evil beefalo you have to ask yourself why you wanted other people to suffer and go do therapy with a masochist encounter group after you beat yourself in the head with a Louisville Slugger.
"Uhh, that's not mascara, it's dry rot."
Nope, it's mildew. Boats that have been out of the water get dry rot. Fat tugboats that are all wet get mildew.
