Fox News Host Named White House Press Secretary

quote:
Article by Renée Montagne and David Greene for the Associated Press

Washington - President Bush on Wednesday named conservative commentator Tony Snow as White House press secretary, putting a new face on a troubled administration.

Snow, a Fox news pundit and former speechwriter in the White House under Bush's father, replaced Scott McClellan who resigned in a personnel shuffle intended to re-energize the White House and lift the president's record-low approval ratings.

"My job is to make decisions and his job is to help explain those decisions to the press corps and the American people," Bush said, with Snow and McClellan at his side in the White House briefing room.

Snow's appointment is notable in a White House that has a reputation for not suffering criticism. He has had some harsh things to say about Bush.

Snow called the president "something of an embarrassment," a leader who has "lost control of the federal budget," the architect of a "listless domestic policy" and a man who has "a habit of singing from the political correctness hymnal."

Bush shrugged off the criticism. "He's not afraid to express his own opinions," he said of his new spokesman. "For those of you who've read his columns and listened to his radio show, he sometimes has disagreed with me. I asked him about those comments, and he said, 'You should have heard what I said about the other guy.'"

Snow thanked Bush for the job and told reporters, "Believe it or not, I want to work with you."

God forbid he actually do the explaining himself. That might involve learning too many big words.

And the article mentions Snows criticism of the president. But, that's the very reason he was chosen. It's not because the White House is going to start doing anything differently. They're just going to get a guy who blasted them for doing it to tell the American people, so they feel like Bush gives a shit.

Exactly, the people who watch fox news are so used to constant support of teh president, that when one of their talking heads says something negative, it sticks in their minds. And now, one of the only guys who said negative things is becoming the white house press secretary? Last time I insulted the boss, he didn't promote me.

That's not possible. Much like our brave troops who got to ask questions, the press corps speak only from their own heart.

Well, he works for fox news so he's proven that he can lie and convert bullshit into roses.
Republicans should get out of the whitehouse and into the bathrooms of america, where they belong.

I liked it when he told the press at the end of his introductory press conference that one of the reasons he agreed to the job was "Because I want to work with you guys!". It made my heart feel warm and fuzzy.

A press secretary ignoring the press? There's a name for that...

If life is so ironic all the time, does the irony of it cease to exist?

One of the many questions that are as old as time itself....

It's ironic that you say that because 'time' isn't ever old, only always now. The memory of it lasts, but its prescience is never past the moment yet to come.

I will think about that and then deny that you have a point....

Hey, Bardock. There's that guy again. He's always trying to muscle in on our love muscling.

(I did have a point, by the way)

(The point was the point)

(It was almost Zen)

(Which is akin to using multiple bracketed sentences)

(Did you see what I did there?)

(OK. I shall stop)

(Soon...)

(OK. Now)

(But...)

(No. I've definitely stopped)

(Really)

(No more)

(Zip)

(I'm sick)

(This is a cry for help)

(I want my Mommy!)
