Tony Snow taking the press job, good or bad??

[killerbush]

I think Snow taking the job is good. It's going to be fun watching Tony squirm around trying to answer questions. Mc.Clellan never got briefed by Rove, Cheney or Bush. Do you really think anything is going to change?? This is gonna be fun to watch!!!

[fooj]

1. Good for us. Bad for them.

Peace.

[marmar]

2. He'll probably be a more polished liar than McClellan...

:think:

[C_U_L8R]

10. He's an awful liar

his facts are never straight.

Scottie's forté was obstruction....
we'll see what Phony Snowjob's schtick is.

Can't wait.

[AtomicKitten]

3. Hey, it just cuts out the middle man.

Lies straight from the administration rather than through Faux News.

[sandnsea]

20. Exactly

We have to play up the propaganda machine point every single day.

[AtomicKitten]

21. it's all a demented puppet show - I don't know why they even bother

[Olney Blue]

4. He has zero chance of being in the power loop.

[stepnw1f]

5. Great for Us!! (nt)

[YDogg]

6. Hell, he may feel like he's really taken a step down ...

... when all he's fed are pure lies. At least at FOX they have some fluff pieces.

I hope the press corps rips him a new one.

[gratuitous]

16. Will the press corps rip him a new one, though?

Or will his pals in the Fourth Estate give him a pass, knowing how much they like old Tony? Tony also decides who gets to ask questions, and more importantly, who doesn't. Will Helen Thomas, David Gregory or Terry Moran get a chance to do anything except clear their throats? Snow looks like a petty, vindictive little shit, which means that he'll fit right in with this petty, vindictive cabal of mean little shits.

Something else I wonder: What kind of security clearance does the Press Secretary require, if any? Is Tony Snow qualified for a security clearance?

[smoochpooch]

7. It's great for us

The MSM will, (at least they should), report on his past as a Faux commentator when he takes over. Most people who aren't Faux viewers will then roll their eyes and, hopefully, question that "network"'s credentials.

[Zorra]

8. Snow is an accomplished pathological liar. You won't see him

squirm, he's too experienced at lying.

It's very bad that he was given this position.

We'll miss Scotty. You knew he was lying, and he wore it on his sleeve.

With Snow, we'll know he's lying, but the only way we'll be able to tell is because his mouth is open.

[Awsi Dooger]

11. I'm afraid you're right

Snow won't be as vulnerable as little Scotty. The FOX background is good for us but the nightly clips they use on the network news, etc. will be more competent and not always on the defensive.

[CAG]

9. Its going to be interesting to see the reaction to his condescensing

little smartass comments. He's so "tough" when he's bashing that ol' librul media with his "fair and balanced" friends Fred Barnes, Ollie North, John Gibson, and O'Leilly, lets see how he can take it.

I'm not sure he's going to be able to rein his smugness in, it shouldn't take long to backfire.

[Democrats_win]

12. Who better to keep track of the firings, he oversaw so many before.

True, there may not be 40,000 a month and he does need to know the names and this time he must care about those members of the BA who lose their jobs.

[Rose Siding]

13. The admin doesn't seem to be aware of Fox's rep in the industry

Snow news is good news :)

[garybeck]

14. no affect whatsoever. who cares?

this position has no affect on the american people. whoever gets the job will just lie, day in and day out, just like the last ones. the change is insignificant.

[killerbush]

17. Disagree garybeck

I think this is significant only because it will do two things, make Foxnews cringe in disgust everythime the press asks a hard question, and also show what an asshole Snowjob will be.

[Mz Pip]

15. Meet the new boss

Same as the old boss. (The Who)

Another spinmeister. That's all they've got.

:dem:

[zulchzulu]

18. Snowjob seems like he has a temper...so let's chisel away...

I bet he will be astonished at how incompetent the Bush admnistration is...it's going to be a fun ride.

[sandnsea]

19. Straight from Foxnews!!!

Repeat after me "We told you Foxnews was the White House propaganda machine, now they've out and out admitted it because nobody else will do their shilling for them!"

This is absolutely HEAVEN SENT!!!

[SpiralHawk]

22. the propagandist-in-chief

will screw up royally, and be gone before the November elections.

American citizens need information, not propaganda.
