Veteran wire reporter Helen Thomas is vowing to 'kill herself' if Dick Cheney announces he is running for president.

The newspaper HILL first reported the startling claim on Thursday.

"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."

Thomas added, "I think he'd like to run, but it would be a sad day for the country if he does."

Helen is awesome. It would be sad to lose her from the press corp.

Yeah, I'm not too sure she is really going out on a limb with her threat. I think the only way Cheney will be healthy enough to run is if they have his head floating in liquid like Nixon on Futurama.

This is kind of like the threat Alec Baldwin made a while back… He said that if Bush won the presidential election that he would move to Canada. Here is the funny part; he was talking about Bush Senior. These threats are idiotic, and is a very accurate representation of the person making such claims.

It could always be worse. Dean could run for President again!

HelenaCat95 and I seem to be the only ones that wouldn't miss her too much.

Loss of life is sad, to be sure, but Thomas' absence from the press corps would not be missed by me.

There may be a connection: HelenaCat95 (HC) and '93HonoluluCat (HC)...hmm...

A DEVELOPMENT

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.
