Hoisted Petard Watch

Poor Helen Thomas. According to Drudge, she's furious that her recent threat to kill herself if Dick Cheney ran for president, spoken to a (gasp!) newspaperman was actually....actually.....published!

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.

Yer right, Helen, them reporters are right bastards, ain't they? Oughta be a law.

[Insert sound of gleeful snickering here.]
