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.

Since Cheney's not running, maybe Helen can kill herself over this tiff with this reporter friend of hers.

"Helen of Troy was said to have had the face that launched a thousand ships..."

Looks like our Helen used her face to smack the bows.

I would love the hear Chaney call in to Rush and nudge this forward by saying that he had no plans to run; but this new development might give him serious reason to reconsider.

There are plenty of rude obnoxious reporters but I think Helen is the worst of the bunch. Her bias is right out there for everyone to see.

If I were a Republican president, or press representative, I would not ask her a question, senior reporter or not.

Perhaps Cheney's playing with her, you know a true Viking Kitty.

With a face like Helen's....there'd sure be a lot of sunken ships.

"I'd like to get the Freepers, opinion - who is uglier: Helen Thomas or Molly Ivins?"

Don't forget Ann Richards! aka the Bag-o-wrinkles."

Didn't President Bush snub her at one of his last pressers? She was all in a tizzy about that one.

We all say stuff we don't want printed," Thomas said

And crazy Aunt Helen has staked her professional career on finding and publishing these things.

She is complaining about having something printed that she didn't want others to hear/know...

Isn't that sorta what Rove is going through, and what Cheney went through when he told Leahy what to do on the Senate floor a couple years ago? (Alan Colmes STILL blasts Cheney for that.)

Helen needs to go to the next White House briefing and apologize for all of the grief she has given them for supposed off the record remarks.!
