Again, Why Should She Get the First Question?

From the Corner, citing "The Hill":

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 [that he already has experience running the country].... 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."
