In case you care, here’s my take on the big Tony Snow news. I think it’s great. I think it’s good for the American people. No, really.
Unlike his robotic predecessor, Snow has enough personality to make the news more watchable. This has the potential effect of actually getting more Americans to pay attention.
Snow negotiated a much higher level of acess to the President than press secretaries normally have; much more than Puffy McMoonface had. So, if Snow lies to the press, we’ll know he’s lying, not misinformed or out of the loop. (Good for us!) And, we already know that Tony is a mendacious sort, which is sort of a nice cushion; we don’t have to wonder.
Tony Snow has been intensely critical of the President, which is, y’know, fun, and might also lead to some lively press conferences in the future.
Plus, the bonus points of showing up Fox News as the shill it is.
Look, we knew a conservative asshole would be picked. How not? I think this choice offers some meaty extras. It could certainly be worse.
Yeah, I got some “meaty extras” for Mr. Snow riiiight here.
My sincerest apologies for going there.
Someone had to.
T. Rex, you should be ashamed of yourself! 😮
I think it’s funny that Dubya can’t find a press secratary who doesn’t think he’s an idiot.
You’re right, Dan. 😀 😀
It’s too bad he kills so many people because his presidency would have been quite entertaining otherwise.
I’m not entertained. It’s not just the killing, it’s the destruction of the environment, the increase of poverty, the screwing of the elderly, and the willful wiping out of a great American city.
Worst. President. Ever.
I know where your coming from but don’t forget that humor is our most potent non-violent means of fighting dubya and all that he represents.
