Helen Thomas Is A Bitter, Old Nut

REPORTER VOWS TO 'KILL SELF' IF CHENEY RUNS FOR PRESIDENT
Thu Jul 28 2005 15:32:13 ET
Veteran wire reporter Helen Thomas is vowing to 'kill herself' if Dick Cheney announces he is running for president.The newspaper HILL first reported the startling claim on Thursday.
"The day 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 is almost as hilarious as Bobby Kennedy vowing to jump from the capital dome during the congressional hearings over Hoffa and the Teamsters. As a journalist, Thomas should know better than to tip her ideological hat. And in that piece from The Hill, she further shows her utter stupidity, or is it senility?
She accuses Cheney of being as big a liar as Bush is. Yet, none of these nuts can prove a single lie. None. Not one. They keep hyping the WMD argument, and ignoring the overall content of the president’s State Of The Union speech. Yes, the president spoke about WMDs, but he specified them as programs—the same wording that Bill Clinton used in 1998 when he launched an attack on Iraq over Saddam’s weapons programs then. WMDs were not the overall point of the speech.
Terrorism was. The ties that Saddam Hussein had to terrorists (Zarqawi was labled and accepted as an Iraqi intelligence asset in 1995) which was the primary point of regime change. Plenty of people on the Left side have repeatedly stated that Saddam presented no threat to the nation.
Well, I wish I could take them at their word, but what would have stopped Saddam from sending terrorists into America to have them strike at us. Worse yet, al-Qaeda formed connections to Iraq so they could gain access to WMDs. A 2002 State Department report specifically states that those within al-Qaeda were being funneled into Iraq, and trained on the use of certain rudimentary WMDs, like mustard gas and Sarin.
So, I fail to see the "lies" that Cheney or Bush have uttered. The only lies I keep seeing are those perpetrated by the MSM in regard to the president, his administration, and our war efforts. They have painted the president as a liar and a deceiver. They have also painted him as a dunce and a dupe. Well, which is it? He cannot be both. He is either incredibly stupid, or incredibly brilliant. The MSM cannot even keep their own lies straight.
Every member of his administration is either "extreme" or "dumb." The port side of the blogosphere is regularly calling people like Condi Rice, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Porter Goss, etc., have been referred to in like fashion. They have been accused of being accepted by the president based on their association with the president, rather than their merits and qualifications. I have made no bones about the fact that Condi Rice is one of the best and the brightest in the administration.
Helen Thomas, and her ilk in the MSM, have continuously shown the "bad" side of the GWOT. They pay little attention to the good that has occurred, and seemingly seethe when they are corrected, even by someone as young and as inexperienced as myself. They present overblown stories, such as Abu Ghraib or Gitmo. They raise the rhetoric to a fever pitch, and drive the sensible people in America nuts. For the most part, intelligent people pay barely a whit’s worth of attention to the MSM. And the attention we here at the Asylum give them is usually over another incorrect report or partisan attack.
Honestly, I could give a rip about Helen Thomas. If I were Cheney I would announce my candidacy tomorrow just to see if the senile old bat will follow through on her promise. Of course, that is the sadistic side of me that is slowly being brought to the surface. Blame it on Thomas.
