Anonymity In the South Dakota Blogosphere

It's certainly been an odd week up in my old South Dakota stomping grounds. First off, it appears that Bob Novak (yeah, that Bob Novak) was/is planning some sort of story on the anti-Thune bloggers up there. This comes hot...

HELEN THOMAS ANGRY AFTER 'KILL SELF' OVER CHENEY COMMENTS PUBLISHED

In a column this week headlined "Reporter: Cheney's Not Presidential Material," Eisele quoted Thomas as saying "The day Dick Cheney is going to run for president, I'll kill myself. All we need is one more liar."

After watching her fulminate at White House pressers, this is a surprise to anybody with a brain? What's the flap about Helen?

But Thomas said yesterday at the White House that her comments to Eisele were for his ears only. "I'll never talk to a reporter again!" Thomas was overheard saying.

PUHLEEEEZE let it be so!

"We were just talking -- I was ranting -- and he wrote about it. That isn't right. We all say stuff we don't want printed," Thomas said.

Humph. How much respect is there for not printing details of private (even classified) information in the interest of a big story?

"She's obviously very upset about it, but it was a small item -- until Drudge picked it up and broadcast it across the universe," Eisele said. Still, he noted that reporters aren't that happy when the tables are turned. "Nobody has thinner skin than reporters," Eisele said with a laugh.

Truth alert here!

Oh yeah, what's the curdled milk reference about? Try this:
