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...
I know Cheney said he is not running, bu I'm sure the thought is very tempting.
Guess she thinks that rule should only apply to her....of course, I have no doubt she's backstabbed plenty.
Helen, you ignorant slut!
"We all say stuff we don't want printed"
Yes, we do Helen .. like when President Bush called a reporter an "a$$hole" - I didn't see the press having any problem printing that statement.
Looks like I'm not the only one who's high.
No one would go to war to bring her back.
what a disturbing image...
One thing Helen Thomas doesn't have is "thin skin". Her face looks like elephant hide!!! But no one would ever make such an ugly comment if Helen didn't richly deserve the turn-about. She's been trash mouthing republicans for years!
Um, not to disagree with you or anything...but...
Helen of Troy was said to have had the face that launched a thousand ships. That's ships. With a P. I'm just saying
Helen needs to loosen the nylons around her cankles and lighten up.
How are you feeling? The "happy" pills working? ;-)
They have ugly personalities, morals and values, which makes all liberals ugly.
Well, of course, it's still a fun story!
You're sure of shiPs huh?
No, she meant it. She just didn't want anyone else knowing she said something so stupid [because she is so stupid]
What is that about sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander? Hey Helen, looks different when it's coming at you, doesn't it? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Together they would be fugly.
Isn't there a Ann Koulter rule here on FR... that if you post a thread on Ann Koulter that you also must include a revealing picture of her?
And I think the same is true of Anna Kournikova.
So what about a Helen Thomas rule?
