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'm just saying...
Helen of Troy, launches ships.
Helen Thomas, launches...uh..not shiPs
:)
ACK!
She looks an awful lot like a black pot in that picture, now swearing never to talk to black kettles.
They do what they're supposed to do, believe me.
You'll be banned! For sure! LOL!
Helen Thomas rule is...if you post a picture of Helen (and thus, we have to look at it), you owe Free Republic $20.
Good advise Helen, something we all should heed...LOL!
Oh gag! Did you have to do that?????
Paybacks are karma. She shouldn't be upset, though. As a public figure, anything she says is fodder for dissemination. I'm sure that she's reported things others haven't wanted to have repeated.
Helen, grow up and deal with life's little roadbumps.
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
see #42
Surely you don't think she got that ugly through the natural aging process, do you?
I know, I'm picking on you! Good to see you again!
EEEEEEEEEEEK! You can SEE me????
Whooooooo boy.
BRB!
:)
Thanks. Now I'm going to have to go gouge out my eyes.
