Looks like Tony Snow doesn't like being called on the Carpet!
Newsman to Tony Snow: 'Don't Point Your Finger At Me!'

By E&P Staff

Published: September 05, 2006 4:15 PM ET updatted 4:30 PM ET

NEW YORK A not especially eventful press briefing at the White House today turned rancorous with NBC's David Gregory telling Press Secretary Tony Snow, "Don't point your finger at me," and Snow accusing the newsman of being "rude" and delivering Democratic talking points.

Earlier, speaking to reporters, Snow, continuing the administration's media focus on the war on terror, accused "some in the Democratic Party" of saying "we shouldn't fight the war" and "we shouldn't apprehend al-Qaeda" or even "question al-Qaeda."

Snow got into a tussle with Gregory after the NBC journalist told him, in a lengthy remark, that the public may wonder why the president's statement and report today on the war on terror did not admit more failings on the administration's part. Snow observed that he had nicely summarized "the Democratic point of view," and Gregory took exception to this.

4. Memo to Snow: it's not a Democratic talking point....
It is a talking point of the majority of the nation. Your boy ain't got no mandate, anymore (truth be told, he never honestly had it to begin with).

5. Gregory nailed Snow, it sounds like . . .
Any question, any discussion, any attempt to veer off the straight and narrow of the Bush administration line is dismissed as "Democratic talking points," according to Snowjob. Gregory very rightly snapped him back on that. I hope the other reporters in the room were taking notes.

6. Snow Job: Dems = enemy
The administration's line on all this is obvious: ANY dissent at all is the enemy. "Democrats? The enemy!"
This in itself is one of the defining characteristics of fascism - as if any of us were still wondering what the heck happened to our country.
Disgraceful? Certainly.
Treasonous? Absolutely.
I think they are digging their own grave. The public is on to them.
