Run, Dick, Run!

I've long been a huge fan of Dick Cheney. There's no point in him running for the presidency, though, because aside from his own vote, those of his wife and daughters, and mine, well, I don't know where the other 50M or so he'd need would come from...

However, Helen Thomas has now promised that if Cheney does run for president, she will commit suicide.

Run, Dick, run!

UPDATE (1-Aug-05): Ms Thomas is upset that her pledge, which was intended for her interlocutor's ears only, were published:

"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"

Yes, we do, but when the speaker happened to be someone Thomas doesn't like, has she ever had any hestiation in printing it anyway? I highly doubt it. Goose, meet this bottle of gander sauce. (Hat tip: Instapundit)
