FOX News' Tony Snow Among Possible White House Spokesman Candidates

WASHINGTON — With a few personnel shifts going on in the White House, there's speculation that presidential spokesman Scott McClellan may be looking to step down.

One of the people the White House has approached as a possible replacement for McClellan is FOX News Radio host Tony Snow. The White House discussed the possibility with Snow as recently as this week.

Snow, who hosts "The Tony Snow Show," once served as a speechwriter for President George H.W. Bush.

Other people have also been approached about the position, including former Pentagon spokeswoman Victoria Clark and Dan Senor, the former Coalition Provisional Authority spokesman in Iraq, who served the U.S. civil administrator in Iraq, Paul Bremer.

Why would Tony take a cut in pay

Just asking....

[northzax]

7. exactly, why take this job?

the press secretary for a lame duck president with approximately 20% approval ratings? that's a dead ender for someone at Snow's level, much better for an up and comer to take. Isn't there anyone on the GOP bench who hasn't been indicted yet?

[Robbien]

9. Because it will pay off big once he leaves the job

Everyone leaving government jobs get hugh salaries from K Street lobby firms.

[Atman]

1. Now we can look forward to the DAILY SNOW-JOB!

Perfect!

[arwalden]

2. Ooph!

:rofl: :patriot: :thumbsup:

[ronnykmarshall]

21. I'll second that!

:toast:

[ronnykmarshall]

22. Stephanie Miller and gang will LOVE this!!

[Jack from Charlotte]

27. Snow could stay at Faux and still be Press Sec.....

I mean what's the difference between Fake News and the AWOL/morons press sec.

[wtmusic]

3. Wonder where Dan Rather is on the list?

Ha ha.

[Seen the light]

4. Someone from Faux huh?

Just giving up all pretexts at this point?

:rofl:

[msanthrope]

16. Yep, that's exactly what I thought.....n/t

[arewenotdemo]

5. Snow or Senor

Either would be perfect as both are thoroughly disgusting nazis.

[Catrina]

6. Isn't he a freeper? I remember reading FR a few weeks ago re the

Immigrant problem, and on one thread Levin (Mark?) a Fox anchor was fighting with a freeper over something he said on Fox. Someone else mentioned Tony Snow, I believe, as another freeper.

Levin said in that thread that he was a freeper before he was a talkshow host.

Hannity was a freeper also, but apparently stopped posting there, and then there was the infamous Jeff Gannon, also a freeper.

[Frank Cannon]

8. You remind me: Jeff Gannon needs a job

Bush could get his bald-headed fetish object back, Gannon could give up walking the streets, and we could get back to ridiculing Jimmy Jeff on a daily basis.

It's a win-win for everyone!

[Fuzz]

26. Apparently he is:

[Catrina]

34. Wow, thanks ~ and he's been a freeper since 1998! The same length

of time as Levin, the other Fox 'news' guy. This is spooky. It's like that board was a part of a set-up, they were building their propaganda machine from back then. I'm thinking that FR is not running on donations.

At least one freep realizes Tony may not be able to communicate on FR as often under his own name.

......

To: Tony Snow
If you take this job, and I hope you do, you may have to curtail or quit posting here. I hope not, but we'd still be proud to know you're lurking or posting under a different name. BTW, I'm sure there are many folks from this admin lurking and probably posting here. Good luck Tony.

......

The Bush WH is made up of freeper types and for Fox to be pretending to be anything but an arm of this administration, is laughable.

Drudge, Fox, FR ~ this is how they got the CBS Dan Rather story out so quickly ~ it was all planned in advance. Dan Rather should do some of his great investigative work on this propaganda machine ~ and expose the whole, phoney mess!

[footinmouth]

10. I'm nominating Geraldo Rivera

At least he'd be nice to Helen.

[Zynx]

11. All we'd hear all day is "You must not question the Commander in Chief!"

"America Prevails!"

[Chemical Bill]

12. He could keep his Faux job too. Same damn thing. n/t

[JPZenger]

18. He already is Bush Adm Spokesman

You are correct, he already is a Bush Admin. spokesman. Why bother putting him on he public payroll?

[Richardson08]

13. That Sammon guy would be perfect-he sees the positive in everything

[aden_nak]

14. If they change the set a bit, Tony might not even notice the move.

[seafan]

15. So, the FOX might guard the chickenhawk house? LOLOLOL

I guess it would be helpful to have the propagandists in-house.

You just can't make this stuff up.

[Nickster]

17. Gosh, I'm overwhelmed by surprise and shock. Hire a Fox toady to mouth the

Republican talking points of the day. What an absolute stretch. At least now they're making it official.

[stanwyck]

19. Not sure a Faux spokesman would be

able to handle anyone questioning him directly. The Faux guys are used to their pro wrestling fixed format. Having men and women so much smarter than them asking pointed questions on issues they barely comprehend is going to be "hard work" after their regular day jobs of shilling for the Bushies with puff pieces and manufactured righteous indignation for all those who dare disagree with their scripted talking points.

[Supersedeas]

36. It a lateral move...from spokesman to spokesman

[Southsideirish]

20. Is "fat Tony" a citizen? n/t

[WhiteTara]

24. who cares...question is

can he lie with a straight face?

[Psephos]

29. Tony Blankley is the "fat" one

Tony Snow is pretty thin, and got thinner after fighting off cancer.

Peace.

[WhiteTara]

23. * loves those snow jobs...this would be his

second. The first one is not going very well, so I guess we need snow coming from another direction. I can't stand that guy's face. Oh, this makes me gag.

[Hawkeye-X]

25. Man, put a poodle in ...

what's the friggin difference. Same bullshit, different person.

[antonialee839]

28. Fox News is already one big White House Spokesman.

[BobRossi]

30. Tony Snow(job) in for Scotty?

"One of the people the White House has approached as a possible replacement for McClellan is FOX News Radio host Tony Snow. The White House discussed the possibility with Snow as recently as this week.

Snow, who hosts "The Tony Snow Show," once served as a speechwriter for President George H.W. Bush."

[LSparkle]

31. I'm surprised F-Word is even mentioning this

If it happens, it'll be a blow against its claim to being "fair and balanced," dontcha think?

[napi21]

32. Do you really think Snow will accept?

I'm not so sure. It really is a rotten job, and Snow has to be making some big bucks at Fox...with his own show and all. I'm thinking he just might say thanks but NO!

[Inland]

33. I hope so, if only for the nickname. nt

[clixtox]

35. A Classic Dead-End Job

Well, actually most jobs are dead-end!

Now back to todays topic, and I don't think that anybody who 99% of us has ever heard of will be this administration's next bald faced liar behind the WH's "hot" podium.

Considering that this whole corrupt administration is balancing on the head of a moron makes anyone accepting the gig desperate for notoriety and very possibly,enduring infamy.

It does require some intelligence and cunning to keep so many fantasies straight while occasionally being informative. Poor Scotty looked like a frightened child lately, he definitely had to go from the WH perspective, I'm sure. Replacing Scotty Mac with someone with any integrity is absolutely impossible now, they are going to have to find a smily faced up-and-comer from a small to small/medium market who is willing to "play ball". Who else????
