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.

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.

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!}

Fat tugboats that are all wet get mildew.

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?

LOL! And we would do just that!

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.

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.

Helen, let this be a lesson to you for the few years you have left: There is no such thing as off the record if the quote's juicy enough.

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.

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?

If I had a dog with a face like that, I'd shave it's butt and make it walk backwards.

Helen should never go to the middle east, lest she be mistaken for a camel.

Now, You've done it, insulted the Camels...OTOH, Usama bin Hiden, would her love her very much.
