Helen Thomas: I’ll never talk to a reporter again!

HELEN THOMAS ANGRY AFTER ‘KILL SELF’ OVER CHENEY COMMENTS PUBLISHED

What is good for the Goose, Helen, is good for the Gander.

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.

Helen, if you don’t wanted it printed……simply don’t say it!
