Helen: "I'll never talk to a reporter again!"

The Helen Thomas affair is assuming a comic, rather than a tragic, aspect.

Helen hasn't lost it. She's just showing herself to be a typical liberal, with a typical liberal's double-standard.

Thomas has made no bones over the years about her dislike for President Bush, her love for Bill Clinton, and her outrageous left-wing bias. But when she told a reporter that she would kill herself if Dick Cheney ran for president, and that "we don't need another liar," she apparently thought she was "off the record!" And now, she's "furious" with him!

Doesn't a reporter of Helen Thomas's experience know better than to assume such a thing without establishing it, in so many words?

And doesn't she see that her unfitness to report on the Bush Administration or on Dick Cheney- or to serve in the White House press corps- has less to do with her being "outed" as an outrageously biased partisan, than with the fact that she is one in the first place?

Oh, yes. Note that the reporter in question is upset, too- that Matt Drudge gave his own story play!

Hilarious!
