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 just wish Cheney would announce, just for a day. One single day.
It'd be great to have all of FR hound that battleaxe by sending her a pre-noosed rope.
As we say in Alabama, "Beauty is only skin deep....but, ugly runs slam to the bone."
Just the visual of an "angry" Helen Thomas is enough to give me nightmares. Imagine the spectre of an "Angry Helen Thomas" advancing on you in your dreams... {shudder!}
Hmmm, I don't believe Ms. Thomas has been "moist" in the last 50 years.
I wonder how many things she has printed that someone didn't want other people to hear?
Would that he decided to do it....even for that day...as a spoof....LOL! But then, he would be accused of making a mockery of the presidential process...however...I WOULD LOVE IT! JUST LOVE IT! (Plus, he would be doing the world of print news and its public an immense favor! he he)
Helen Thomas hands down. She could make a train take a dirt road. Molly is just annoying. I've never considered her ugly.
"Hmmm, I don't believe Ms. Thomas has been "moist" in the last 50 years."
C'mon. I'm sure she cried when her hero Clinton left. We're talking about what has been mistaken for mascara here...and thanks for providing nightmares by insinuating that she-hag might actually be thinking about sex.
I didn't say it wasn't believable .. just that I'm quite sure the President would have been happier if it had not been printed.
"I'll never talk to a reporter again!" Thomas was overheard saying. "
Helen Thomas gets a taste of her own medicine and doesn't like it.
Where do I send my $5.00 check to The Dick Cheney for President Fund?
She played gotcha every day and now it's back on her!
i hope no one would suggest a "draft Cheney" campaign...
Oh, nothing like seeing 20 pics of Helen first thing monday morn! LOL
I hope Cheney runs and Washington is rid of one more waterbuffalo.
If I had a dog with a face like that, I'd shave it's butt and make it walk backwards.
You mentioned Ann Coulter and Anna Kournikova, so where are the pictures?
lol, yeah, he might just have to run to see if she will do it. :-)
Now, You've done it, insulted the Camels...OTOH, Usama bin Hiden, would her love her very much.
I can't decide....
