Helen Thomas is threatening to kill herself if Dick Cheney runs for president.

I don't know why the White House continues to allow this harridan a seat at press conferences--especially since she is no longer a reporter, as everyone else is required to be, but an editorialist. I know they made an exception out of some sort of respect for her status and tenure and all, but seriously, why does this old cow deserve it?

I don't even particularly like Cheney, but I'd love to see him declare his candidacy if for no other reason than to either call her bluff, or so she would go ahead and put herself--and the rest of us--out of her misery.

In any case, and seriously, her statement ought to be sufficient proof of mental instability to get her banned from being in the physical presence of our heads of state.

Helen, if you decide to do us all a favor, here's a little background music for ya.
