Perhaps it's the beginning of a trend . . .

Veteran wire reporter Helen Thomas is vowing to 'kill herself' if Dick Cheney announces he is running for president.

"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."

Well HT . . . suicide is the most sincere form of self-criticism . . . do what you gotta do.
