"The day Dick Cheney is going to run for president, I'll kill myself," she told the HILL. "All we need is one more liar."
Yup, there is no bias in the media and the way it reports the news. LOL.

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 (http://www.drudgereport.com/flash1.htm) 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.
evillally August 1st, 2005, 12:23 AM EEewww! What the hell hole did that troll crawl out of? DAMN she's ugly, she shoulda offed herself long ago...
MonsterMark August 1st, 2005, 09:38 AM EEewww! What the hell hole did that troll crawl out of?
What are you talking about. When you are raging lunatic from the left, you are a beauty queen. See.
MAllen82 August 1st, 2005, 10:39 AM shouldn't reporters keep some sort of dignity about their position, and not let themselves get so emotional over politics? After all, they are the main liason between the people and the government when it comes to breaking news. She is a disgrace to journalism, unfortunately, she is but one of a giant trend.
MonsterMark August 1st, 2005, 11:36 AM It is not about dignity. It is about bias. Media is supposed to report the news. But as people can see, the media is totally biased to the left. They can't even cover the news without showng their disdain for those they are covering.
If I was Bush or Cheney or McClellan, or anybody in the White House for that matter, I'd make her invisible. I wouldn't take another question from her. Period. She could rot (already has) for the next 3 years, rot until her Democrat hero makes the White House in 2008. That's what I would do. Silence her by ignoring her.
fossten August 1st, 2005, 03:27 PM Wait a minute!!! Hooooooold on there. A reporter let something slip to another reporter, and now she's mad that it got out?
What does this remind you of?
Karl Rove?

MonsterMark August 2nd, 2005, 04:32 PM Johnny is just hoping for an impeachment. Ain't gonna happen.
I just love hearing the Dems (libs) and media screaming and whining over the Bolton recess appointment. Never mind the fact that Clinton did it 140 times and even Reagan did it 243 times. Once again the Dems got beat at their own game. What poor losers they are. At least they getting alot of practice at it.

Dick Chaney '06?? :waving: hello???
you think pres Bush is conservative? trust me, you don't want chaney taking over!! If chaney took control, I would have NOOOO problem with that at all! He doesn't take any CRAP from silly headed liberals! :N
Ya... you all go ahead and wish for impeachment... and if Bush gets booted, you'll REALLY get what you deserve! :bash:
cheers! :Beer
btw... did anybody notice how extremely effective Chaney was in the debates? It was sad that he had to go up against a moron like Edwards.
I was really wishing that Bush could have debated Edwards... and let Chaney debate Kerry!!!! :F now THAT would be a paperview tv moment!!! Knockout by Chaney!!!! wooohooooo!! he don't mess around!
sure, I'll go along with that.... Chaney '06! :bow: WooooHOOOOOOOOOO!!
:ban
eL eS August 2nd, 2005, 10:48 PM promises, promises...
yeah all to often they are broken when it comes to the libs. Think of how many promissed to leave the country if bush was elected... still waiting to collect on those promises.
I guess this is why they hate bush so much he actually does what he says he is going to do which flys in the face of liberalism.

JohnnyBz00LS August 3rd, 2005, 08:49 AM Hey, the humiliation of GWB would be well worth it. Besides, Cheney is a draft-dodging pussy, I wouldn't count on him having much "teeth" once he got into office after seeing his predicessor getting smacked down.

I would like to see your evidence: 1. That he's a draft-dodger 2. That he's a pussy.
IIRC, Cheney wiped the floor with Edwards in the debate. And he didn't have to primp his hair for 10 minutes on video either. Talk about a pussy.

I love when they bring that up because they never seem to remember the 4 deferments that Kerry got, and when Kerry "volunteered' only after hearing his 5th deferment to Paris was turned down so if he wanted to pick and choose where to go during his enlistment, he was forced to 'volunteer'. And then when he found out the Swift Boats were cool and not in a combat zone, he went for that. Then they changed the boats mission and sent him up the river, only to have Kerry wound himself twice and write up false self-aggrandizing reports of his valor and videotaped it to boot. And this is the guy that the Democrats put up for President. The lying sack of :q:q:q:q that committed treason against the United States.
Then take a look at Cheney's career and his accomplishments. It never ceases to amaze me how the left gets out of bed in the morning and looks itself in the mirror.http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com//images/icons/icon9.gif

Stellar example of how "impartial" the MSM is. No honestly we just report the news... no we do not have opinions or agendas we just report.
Yeah right!
Well fortuneately the majority of Americans are becoming more aware to the bias.

My sin? I made the mistake of assuming that, when I called her last week to ask about her recent Hearst Newspapers column on Cheney, I wasn’t calling to pass the time of day but actually intended to write a story about it. Calling him “the most powerful vice president in recent times, perhaps in U.S. history,” she said that Cheney “certainly could campaign on the theme that he has had experience in running the White House."
Figuring that, having covered every president since John F. Kennedy, she knew I was going to quote her, since I assume people are on the record unless they state otherwise, which she didn’t, I asked her if she was promoting a Cheney candidacy in 2008.
I then wrote what I thought was an innocuous item in our “Under the Dome” column Thursday in which I quoted her response: “The day I say Dick Cheney is going to run for president, I’ll kill myself. All we need is one more liar.” She says I shouldn’t have quoted her “because we all say stuff we don’t want printed.”
Little did I know, being a creature of the typewriter/telegraph era of journalism, that cybergossip Matt Drudge would pounce on the item and transmit it to the farthest regions of the Internet universe, along with an unflattering photograph of Ms. Thomas. That was all Drudge acolytes needed to unleash a flood of e-mails condemning her — and me, as her unwitting accomplice.
The general tone of the e-mails, and a number of phone calls as well, can be captured in one from Rob Clark of Sarasota, Fla., who wrote, “Please tell Helen Thomas that she can borrow one of my guns if she wants to shoot herself.”
Of course, there were also such gems as this one from an anonymous foul-mouthed Drudgoid who described me with a scatalogical term combining an adjective for a common sexual practice with a noun for a bodily orifice.
“No wonder the fourth estate is in such sorry state, you f- - - - - - sleezeball,” he wrote. I’d have taken his comment seriously if he’d had the guts to sign his name, but it’s easy to be a coward on the Internet. I just hope this slack-jawed degenerate reads this so he learns how to spell “sleazeball,” which he can easily see in the mirror.
Anyway, having unintentionally caused Ms. Thomas considerable pain, I wish to rise to her defense. Thomas is a great journalist, the first lady of the White House press corps, who has blazed a trail for women journalists and has been doing for decades what White House reporters are supposed to do but too often don’t, which is to ask tough questions of presidents.
Naturally, that doesn’t sit well with a lot of people, who apparently would prefer to see their politicians treated like gods and who have a visceral hatred of the press.
But the larger lesson here, and one that I’m surprised Ms. Thomas, who has been a Washington reporter since 1943 and retired as UPI’s White House correspondent in 2000, failed to understand, is that “off the record” is a virtually meaningless term, which is why this column bears the name it does. It’s bad enough that public officials hide behind it to discredit their critics, as the CIA leak imbroglio demonstrates, but even worse when reporters do it.
