Tony Snow On Bushie: ‘An Embarrassment,’ ‘Impotent,’

Well if he gets the job it will be interesting to see if he sticks to what he says or becomes Bush's lap dog. From what I've seen with most conservatives in the Bush administration he will be low on guts and high on hypocrisy.

Bush now has a press sec more conservative than he is. Here is hoping he wipes the floor with Helen Thomas and David Gregory, who share the same hang dog look as they repeat their commentary disguised as rhetorical questions.

He hasn't even started yet and it's already getting ugly.

This is odd, because I've listened to the Tony Snow radio show, his guest hosting of other radio shows, as well as watched him on Fox News, frequently for years, and he seems to be 99.9% supportive of the president. He's a vocal conservative ideologue.

The most refreshing part of this will be knowing that the propaganda will be delivered to us by a professional propagandist. If the selection turns out to be true, it will be the most truthful action ever done by this administration, a bold admission that the point of the Press Conference is not to inform, but to reform, as in opinions, and that such a task could only be handled by a committed spewer from FauxNews.

Tony Snow - Cover-ups for Press Secretary Begin Before he Officially Starts

When the White House press corps first starts asking questions of new White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, the first question should be, "Sir, exactly what are you trying to hide?". There are a plethora of glib answers one could give to such a question, but the fact remains, Mr. Snow was a regular poster over at Free Republic ( http://www.freerepublic.com ), and as one can see from the link and quote below, overnight when it was announced he would be the new press secretary, the mountain of information Mr. Snow had submitted and had posted on the site disappeared. What is he hiding? What sorts of comments is he afraid might see the light of day?

This is who the White House has chosen to be a trusted deliverer of important information?

So, when the White House press corps ask Press Secretary Snow about possible cover-ups in the Valerie Plame CIA Leak-Gate affair, what expectation should they have for any sort of truthful information? But isn't this the White House whose candidate said "We're going to restore Honor and Dignity to the White House"? What sort of Honor and Dignity can one have where evasiveness and cover-ups and deleted comments are the order of the day? And what is this replacement about anyway? A Press Secretary isn't a creator or developer of policies, he simply is someone who tries to put the best face on the President's policies. The public is unhappy with the President and what he has done, so what steps does the President take? He hires someone, for whom cover-ups are the order of the day, to try and convince us that we in fact like the President's policies. What a complete insult to the people's intelligence.

Tony Snow should be withdrawn from consideration and someone the people can trust should be put in his place.

Nah. I want Tony Snow in there. Clever boy that he is, he has never actually answered a question from someone who hadn't passed through multiple screens, kind of like our President until a few weeks ago and that process seems to have been squelched again. No more nasty questions about Theocracy for George, I can assure you of that.

But as to Tony, he will now face on a daily basis, reporters who have to ask those rude fact-finding sorts of questions and, and this is critical, he will not be able to offer his own thoughts about the answer, but only give out the pre-digested pap whipped up moments before behind the curtain.

And he is taking a big pay cut.
