Popcorn! - Tony SNOWjob as the face of this mal-administration
Something just does not compute about SNOWjob as press secretary. It seems like a step DOWN, actually. He walked away from the Sunday Faux-fest, where he was able to stay controlled in the controlled environment of Brit and Juan WILLIAMS. Then he had this weekend hosting thing, basically reading segments and interviewing one-on-one. He seems to have this earnest, squeaky clean facade (no wingnut is clean), but there have been frequent flashes of aggressive, wingnut anger. Plus he has had a bout of (cancer?). Plus he projects an older type of I-don't-PLAY attitude. I really think he will melt down with the press corps? The only better show would be Tweety taking this job---------now, THAT would be series fun/disaster.

1. Neo-Con Neo-Confederate
He carried water for Poppy.

His writings reveal the mind of an ignorant, racist, lying POS.

The guy's a complete BFEE turdball.

Hope he ends up in the pen with the rest of them.

2. I'd say he's perfect for the job
Snow is an Intelligent Design advocate, which shows that he is already proficient at denying reality, a major requirement for the Press Secretary job.

13. because of that, I think hiring him would be a mistake...
Edited on Sat Apr-22-06 01:17 PM by long_green
potentially a disastrous one. When Fleisher or McClellan looked out over the press corps, they saw irritants and some adversaries (and a few allies).
Snow is not a Republican hired gun. He is a dedicated Movement Conservative who, when he looks out over the press corps, will see traitors and criminals. Helen Thomas must be praying that he gets the job.

You may have guessed that I'm not 100% in the loop. Is this a done deal?

4. Great. Another Faux shill climbing into bed at the WH.
Something about his voice annoys me. Kind of like Rita Cosby's. (To say nothing of his beliefs - he did guest-host for Limbaugh at one time).

6. It's a bad, bad decision that will drive his poll numbers down.
People who didn't trust McClellan will trust this guy even less.

One look at his web page tells one what he's about.
He shovels huge heaping spoonfulls of lie into the American people.

"The cut and run crowd"?? What a blatant Straw Man bullcrap statement.

He's a propaganda minister.

9. If this administration was smart,
It certainly would not put the Snow Job up in front of the press corp... That is asking for that title to stick like super glue....

10. I agree with YOU UTUSN. It looks like a BIG step down to me too!
Did he actually accept the job, or are we just speculating here? As of last nighthe was supposed to still be negotiating.
