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...
Now she can be angry because someone said she was angry.

That must be one helluva petard if it's capable of hoisting her.
Oh, buy you're mistaken. HT IS diseased: she suffers from chronic liberalism; and she IS deformed physically as a consequence.
btt
All she needs is the antennae.
Uh, no, er, well, only in fresh water. No, SALT water craft, like the SS Helen Thomas, get barnacles. Barnacles and even a mussel or two. But HT is no face, regardless of how it's hangin', for a respectable mussle to, uh, "hang out", so she's left with just the barnankles.
Payback's a b!tch, isn't it, HAG?
(I wish Scott McClelland would spill a glass of water on her -- maybe she would melt!)

We know, Helen. So do people who talk to you but that doesn't stop you. Besides, what's the problem with telling the truth except now we know you're an IDIOT (as if we didn't already know that!).
Not a single one of these leftists/press people could stand the heat the President takes. In fact, 99%+ of us couldn't. The difference is that about 90% of us are smart enough to know that and therefore respect those who do what is right regardless of what the thinned skinned may say.
Nice work,LOL! Bad news "It" has a daughter!!!
