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...
Uhh, that's not mascara, it's dry rot.
"So what about a Helen Thomas rule?"
No, please! No pictures!
I hope she's carrying through with her promise...
Poor Helen, she looks like a matzoh ball in drag
I hope that is true. Someone shouldn't be able to get away with her kind of bias without it costing her something. I wonder if she is kin to Danny Thomas? He was also Lebanese.
"Is this the face that burnt a thousand ships, and burnt the topless towers of Ilium?"
Egads.
I am sure reporters hate havint their liberal biases outed, but frankly, there is not a person that follows politics that doenn't know Helen is a world class Demo kool aid drinker.
Dear Helen Thomas,
I doubt you'll keep your promise.
Instead of dying, move to France
Where you could try to find romance.
~~Helen Thomas: a Limerick~~
There once was a writer named Helen,
With the kindness-IQ of a melon.
She liked to be seen
On the screen being mean
To a pleasant young man, Scott McClellan
Isn't it just a bitch when even the no-minds in the general public know you for what you are, Helen? (some of us have known for YEARS....)
Helen should never go to the middle east, lest she be mistaken for a camel.
This is such a waste of time. She's too stupid to see the irony.
Yes. Helen usually gets a front row seat, but one time she ended up sitting in the last row. She had a fit. Bush was really enjoying himself at Helen's expense that night. It was great!
Oh my sides! LOL!! I'm laughing so hard my sides are killing me! LOL!! Ships with a p LOL!! That was great!! LOL!!
OMG Helen with her Mardi Gras beads on. Please don't flash us for more beads Helen, Please! Don't!
Uncle Fester get an operation ?
She was the one with the paper bag over her head, right?
