    I thought Full Of eXcrement New was already the White House press Secretary.


  2. Hardy Haberman says:

    So finally the merger of the Republican Party and Fox will be complete. Now all propaganda will flow unimpeded by journalistic integrity.


  3. JIMBO says:

    Fox News has got to be secretly funded by the White House. How else can you explain the propaganda and the eventual asslicking that Bush enjoys from his bitches at Fox News.


  4. foxbot says:

    I think Rush Limbaugh would be a better choice. He can talk for days without communicating anything.


  5. Krazny says:

    Tony Snow or Bozo the Clown, what difference would it make. We don’t expect honesty or integrity from this bunch.


  6. jax says:

    one upside-
    Snowjob would become usable in a literal sense when referring to WH communications.


  7. Keith H. says:

    Next up . . . . Bill O’Reilly replaces junior.


  8. KBlow says:

    Sadly, it’s a brilliant move and it will work to stiffle critics and hard questioning from the MSM. The WH press is so incestuous that despite what we occasionally saw with Scotty, they would never treat one of their own that way. It will be all kid gloves and inside jokes because Snow is right where they all wish they were, a part of the inner circle of DC power.


  9. Bearpaw says:

    I guess the White House has a policy of trying to internal hire whenever possible. It saves on paperwork, I guess.


  10. jax says:

    #8: the MSM isn’t waiting for Snow to stifle critics:
    “For about a minute, the shrill protests punctuated both Mr. Hu’s remarks and the gaps in which he fell silent when they were being translated into English. A photographer standing next to the woman tried briefly to silence her.

    Bush: “We welcome aboard Phony Ho to be the next Minister of Propaganda.”

    Snowjob – like a full-employment act for lefty bloggers. Bring him on!


  13. OxyConservative says:

    What a “Snow Job”.
    The man with the “perfect name” and the “perfect credentials” may just land the “perfect job” for himself.
    Being a paid liar for the RepubliCON Propaganda Outlet, otherwise known as Fox/Saudi News, whose job it is to “Snow Job” the American public, with the last name of “Snow”, just might be Bush’s next paid Liar!

    Lord-

    I don’t ask you for many things, but if you’re listening -PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let the White House select Tony Snow as their new Press Secretary.

    Amen.


  15. Punchy says:

    I thought they fired Scooter due to “credibility issues”…..

    So by hiring a Faux anchor, they expect credibility??? WTF?


  16. pgw says:

    it’s like a all-out republican attack on parody


  17. unbelievable says:

    You all are just way too funny. Hysterical comments. Keep it up! :)


  18. Zookeeper says:

    #14 – My thoughts EXACTLY. Oh please, oh please…

    …. and as that old song from the mid seventies goes…
    “the revolution will not be televised……”
    (Gill Scott Heron)
    This is all to good to be true, it’s like Christmas at Easter time….. SNOW HO HO………!!


  20. Pete Bogs says:

    Scotty is a plump, sweaty sacrificial lamb… this is smokescreen to give the impression that Bush wants “reform,” but reform needs to start at the TOP! toss the bosses!

  21. wisedup says:

    To the Press Corps: Now is the time to BOYCOTT a NO SHOW will send a wonderful message to the bushgang….show some BALLS and DO IT. ‘No news,is good news.’

    may1st day off for America.


  22. Blue State Red says:

    This would be a great move, if Snow is willing to take a pay cut.


  23. Sneelock says:

    They may as well send him down every morning with a leash and a chair.
    Everybody in that room knows what Tony Snow thinks of them. I hope we see some backbones in the room because this is the next step would be just locking the door and not letting them in. A Nation of Gannons. “Don’t you think the President would be more popular if we only talked about all the GOOD he does?”

    “as a matter of fact I do! Next question!”


  24. Dana says:

    I’d be surprised if Tony Snow took the job. He’s recovering from a recent bout with cancer and I wouldn’t think a high stress White House position would be a healthy choice.


  25. Nat says:

    Meet the new liar, same as the old liar.


  26. Jimi says:

    That is a tough job that only the most sadistic of politically blind fools will take. I can’t wait to see who it is!


  27. Jasper O'Connell says:

    I thought Tony Snow was fighting an advanced case of prostate cancer?
