I suspect that will be one of Tony Baloney’s first snow jobs:
To expain how the liberal media took his comment out of context.
April 26th, 2006 at 12:33 pmI’m thinking that Fair and Balanced is out of the question.
Half the cr*p that came from the White House before this wasn’t fit to print in Pravda, this isn’t going to improve things.
April 26th, 2006 at 12:35 pmAt last the pretense that Fox News is some kind of independent entity is gone. Fox as well as MSNBC are official mouthpieces of the GOP.
April 26th, 2006 at 12:37 pmSee the smile on Dubya’s face in the pic standing behind Snow > he knows he has pulled a fast one on the press and AOL dummies already took the cheese > lol.
April 26th, 2006 at 12:40 pmJoe that is so true. Even when these a**holes are confronted with tape of what they said, they say the liberal media twisted their words.
April 26th, 2006 at 12:40 pmFox News is now officially in the WhiteHouse.
Spin. Dodge. Lie. Misrepresent.
All rise and please welcome Bagdad Bob III.
April 26th, 2006 at 12:42 pmThe message is clear - Bush couldn’t find a spokesman who is NOT embarrassed by him!
That’s pathetic!
April 26th, 2006 at 12:44 pmInteresting pic that TP posted for this thread > study it closely for the body language it reveals! Bush is giddy behind Snow’s back, so Dubya is revealing that he has pulled a fast on the press! Snow himself appears stunned, or sort of mesmerized, like he has been brainwashed! Tony’s eyes denote someone who has been conned, but believes he has won an Oscar! Bush wanted a pretty boy to be his spokesman and he has succeeded perhaps?!
April 26th, 2006 at 12:55 pmCorrection > pulled a fast ONE on the press!
April 26th, 2006 at 12:56 pmAt last the pretense that Fox News is some kind of independent entity is gone. Fox as well as MSNBC are official mouthpieces of the GOP.

Right you are Hardy,
This is proof positive that the fox propaganda Network has never been anything but the propaganda wing of the criminal Bushite junta…
…I hope the REAL press NEVER shows up for another “propaganda” briefing…
…at any rate, the American people certainly realize now which network should be the 1st on the list to be disbanded when the democrats and Progressives take back our government…
…as for Tony Snow, what a scumbag piece of sh*t…
…his “credibility” is no better than the last a*shole that stepped down, nor that of the masters they serve…

I think most people who watch Fox already know this… they just don’t give a shit.
Actually, I am sure that they prefer the official Republican version of the truth… keeps them from having to think and from having to question their world view.
April 26th, 2006 at 1:11 pmLook at the eyes of Tony in the picture… its frightening… reminds me of the eyes of Jack Nicholson in The Shining…
April 26th, 2006 at 1:15 pmWell, this is a no-brainer, Snow will NOW defend Bush.
April 26th, 2006 at 1:20 pmSnow was hired for one reason: continue the spin on Iraq. Glad Baghdad Scott is gone though, what an embarrasment.
April 26th, 2006 at 1:24 pmHERE’S THE DEAL:
FOX NEWS HAS A LOT OF CAPITAL TIED UP IN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION, AND THEY COULDN’T BEAR TO WATCH IT GO DOWN ANY FURTHER.
SO, THEY SENT ONE OF THEIR OWN EXECUTIVES OVER TO HELP FIX THE MESS.
HAPPENS ALL THE TIME IN BUSINESS.
(AND, REMEMBER, BUSH HAS SPENT HIS WHOLE LIFE GETTING BAILED OUT OF HIS SHITTY MANAGEMENT DECISIONS BY ONE WHITE KNIGHT OR ANOTHER.)
April 26th, 2006 at 1:32 pmImagine if Snow really thinks that Bush is an embarrassment and totally go gonzos on his first ay and just starts telling the truth and answering all questions in full. Ahhhh….dreams are nice.
April 26th, 2006 at 1:41 pmAh yes is is glad to know that I’m not the only viewer who knows that Fox News is nothing, but an extension of the propaganda spin machine that Karl put together years ago. I love the Bagdad Bod III line, it’s right on time. It’s blame the liberals time again my friends. I can tell you what Tony’s Snow-job will sound like; The liberal media is twisting things to suit the democrat party! The liberals are responsible for high gas prices, if you got a hang over the liberals are responsible, the liberals keep letting those illegal aliens in our country, the liberals leaked the name of Joe Wilson’s wife, the liberals hate Duyba soo much they lie about everything to make him look bad. He can’t speak a complete sentence because the liberals won’t let him finish his sentence.
I have been predicting that we were turning into the old Soviet Union and now Pravada is in effect. The state run Pravada (Fox News) is now officially speaking directly for the government of the United States. All other news is made up for and by liberals and they are trying to bring down our dictatorship, I mean democracy because they hate freedom. The liberals support terrorism by questioning the official news agency (Fox) or the party line put out by Party Secretary Tony Snow. Thank God think dictatorship, I mean presidential term, will be over in just over two years.
Oh and when you hear the clicking on the phone line, that isn’t the N S A listening to your telephone conversations, it’s just static in the phone line OK. It’s not like Dubya ordered them to listen to our conversations or anything. Only things like that happened in the Soviet Union and they used the KGB to spy of citizens not the N S A. I remember the Soviets having a general come out and say they weren’t spying on russian citizens, now if we had a general deny that the N S A was spying on civilians I’d be worried. After all Ronald Reagan would approve of spying on innocent civilians because we are so parinoid of terrorist. It seems to me that the terrorist win if you erode your own citizens rights in the name of protecting them. Our government would never over react and do something that stupid right?
April 26th, 2006 at 1:43 pmWerid thing about that picture….who actually “looks” more presidential? Gummy or the tall guy?
April 26th, 2006 at 1:43 pmPerfect frame capture TP, the W in White House behind Bush makes his left ear look pointy and evil.
April 26th, 2006 at 1:47 pmSnow job…
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Tony Snow blah blah blah….
April 26th, 2006 at 1:48 pmWhat is up with his eyes?
He likes: “You will believe everything I have to say or else!”
April 26th, 2006 at 1:52 pmLook at Chimpy, he’s gone to hell in a shitsack. Hows the job now asshat?
-GSD
April 26th, 2006 at 2:03 pm#22 A professional hypnotizer?
April 26th, 2006 at 2:05 pmTony Snow wrote a personal note of thanks to Think Progress, Check it out:
Click here to see.
April 26th, 2006 at 2:14 pmThe letter he issued as a response the liberal bloggers is the funniest joke I’ve seen in a while.
What he has said in the past has nothing to do with anything forthcoming, really. We’re just here to hilight the past to show how he is now going to be an absolute lap dog for the White House, and how disingenuous his responses to the press are going to be given that he was so critical of him in the past.
Nice spin job, though, Snow.
April 26th, 2006 at 3:20 pmI’ve laughed at that picture all day. I’m glad TP posted it for non-AOL users too.
Doesn’t Bush look itty-bitty in comparison to Snow? Reminds me of having to line up by height in elementary school.
April 26th, 2006 at 3:34 pmok - one last time… i’ll pass this on cause it’s interesting…
April 26th, 2006 at 3:42 pmfrom randi rhodes: 1. her prediction that the press briefings will soon be closed, no cameras…
2. a caller just noted, and randi verified, that it was tony snow who introduced linda tripp to lucianna goldberg…
oh what tanlges webs they weave…
Here is an interesting story : Couple years ago Bush went to Canada to meet their leader and he saw the Canadian leader’s press secretary, who he walked up to and said “You have a pretty face” and he inferred he just had chubby Scotty boy! Canadian guy was young and handsome, so it seems that Bush hired Tony Snow for his looks as well?!
April 26th, 2006 at 4:10 pmthere is an old saying ’same gal, different hairdo’ which is appropriate here…the balding sweaty head of scott for the graying buffant of snow…
snow is a serial liar and will continue right where scott left off. big deal…
oh, he is taller too…
fcku bush
April 26th, 2006 at 4:13 pmBe skeptical, folks.
April 26th, 2006 at 5:31 pmThis may be a political move here - a reverse psychology attempt — get people to think that Snow is not a Bush lackey. Remind them that he has been critical of GW. Then when he lies to your face, you might actually believe him.
Scottie lost all credibility, so he became useless. Snow (the “fair and balanced” propagandist) is trying to convince people that he is going to tell it straight.
Do NOT trust this White House. Do not believe their words. Be suspicious of everything. Accept nothing as it may appear.
Funny, I seem to recall the Left complaining that Bush only surrounds himself with sycophantic yes-men (i.e., Scott McClellan), and that he does not tolerate dissent (e.g., General Zinni). Now Bush appoints a new Press Sec who has a record of independence from the White House, and the Left complains abouot that.
You progolodytes are really something. You think being “progressive†means never having to say your satisfied.
April 26th, 2006 at 5:35 pmSnow will parrot whatever information is given to him by Bush, and co. I don’t expect an independance from Snow, nor do I expect the White House Press Corp to defer to him.
A. Maybe, wait and see.
B. Assuming your prediction is correct, that would make Tony Snow different from Mike McCurry and Joe Lockhart - how, exactly?
C. Like I said, you hypocritical progolodytes have no decency, no principles and no shame whatsoever.
April 26th, 2006 at 5:39 pmPost 35 Blue > lol I do not think you have any shame! Only certified nuts defend the Bush Regime now, so party on dude with Dubya Dunce!
April 26th, 2006 at 7:00 pmwell, joe lockhart and mccury lied about a
and not about nuclear annihlation, torture, treason, and murder.
do you want more of an explanation? just let me know…
April 26th, 2006 at 10:03 pmwell, mccurry and lockhart and ms meyers lied about a
and not about nuclear annihlation, torture, treason, and murder….
if you need a further explanation of the difference, please do not hesitate to let me know.
April 26th, 2006 at 10:06 pmTony Snow the new talking head baloney spewer > lol. He is better looking than Scotty, but will be programmed to LIE on a daily basis! Not too much different from FOX News reports!
April 26th, 2006 at 11:54 pmOh and when you hear the clicking on the phone line, that isn’t the N S A listening to your telephone conversations, it’s just static in the phone line OK.
Comment by TimeForAChange #18
Hey TimeForAChange,
What are you gonna do?
The criminal TRAITORS in the Bushite junta are going to eavesdrop on us…
…we can’t do anything about it until we take back our government…
…so in the meantime, do like I do…
…whenever I’m not talking business, or to someone I have to be very respectful of over the phone…
…I always sign off my conversations with “…And you can tell George W. Bush to suck my…”
…well, you get the gist…
April 27th, 2006 at 12:16 pmWhat’s next! This so laughable.
