Crazy Aunt Bethany Strikes Again

Helen Thomas, the crazy Aunt Bethany (see photo below from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation) of the Washington Press Corps, doesn't think much of Dick Cheney (h/t The Corner):

Reporter: Cheney’s not presidential material

If Vice President Cheney is indeed a “serious darkhorse” candidate for president in 2008, as Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward recently suggested, he probably won’t want to enlist legendary White House reporter Helen Thomas to help with his press relations, even though she has proposed a campaign strategy he could run on....But asked this week if she is promoting a Cheney candidacy, Thomas made it clear she isn’t.

“The day I say 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.”

This woman still has a seat in the White House press room and dares to call herself a 'reporter'. Well, at least she admits her bias, unlike many others who try to insist that they are 'objective' while putting a lefty slant on all their reports.

I predict that some day she'll be found in a house with 138 cats.
