    It’s too late for the Titanic, but Tony’s gonna keep trying to sell that iceberg.


  2. Juan C says:

    Tony Snow doesnt care really much is he looks all the time like the dumb a-hole he is. Thats why he was hired in the first place.


  3. Andrew says:

    It’s like that paradoxical statement: “This statement is false.” or one of those cards that says ” To keep a moron busy, flip this card over!” on both sides!

    So how does this obvious lie get spun to help US again? Stop bitching and let’s use it.

    It’s not so much a course as a demolition derby in a Pinto.


  10. Jesus Christ God of WAR says:

    Accountability? Or just more Shuck and Jive?

    Yes, there’s nothing like bringing a new level of integrity to Washington. Heck of a job, Bushy!


  11. PLC (PatrioticLiberalChristian) says:

    Yes, Snowball, we know that The idea that somehow we’re staying the course is just wrong. It is absolutely wrong. It is absolutely wrong that the U.S. policy is stuck in the whirlpool course. And yes again, Snowball, we know The President is determined to stay the course because and his comrades have been telling us that for years now.

    Mid-term elections: “Bring ‘em on!”

    From the Hotline On Call (emphasis added), Tony Snow interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN:

    CNN’s Blitzer: “You’ve heard the criticism being leveled at you, that, in effect, you’re blaming the president’s father, the first President Bush, for creating a situation that ultimately led to 9/11, by not finishing the job back in ‘91, getting rid of Saddam Hussein.”

    Snow: “You know what I did, Wolf? I screwed up. What I should have done is — I inaccurately phrased what bin Laden had said. What he said, actually, is that in getting out of Somalia, we demonstrated that we didn’t have what it took to stay the course. So what I did is I got the history wrong. And frankly, I blew it. And I have apologized both to President Bush and to Vice President Cheney — that is, the first President Bush and to then the chairman of joint chiefs, Colin Powell. So that was one where the press secretary just flat got it wrong” (”Situation Room,” CNN, 9/5).


  13. Southwest Bob says:

    Snowball has taken the view of his boss;

    “I’m the commander — see, I don’t need to explain — I do not need to explain why I say things. That’s the interesting thing about being president.” —as quoted in Bob Woodward’s Bush at War

    Tony Snow yesterday:
    “The idea that somehow we’re staying the course is just wrong. It is absolutely wrong. [cuz we don't even know what the hell course we are on anymore!]”


  15. Go Back To Sleep America says:

    Clinton made him say it!


  16. BushKill says:

    FLIP-FLOP FLIP-FLOP


  17. Joe Sixpack says:

    Just when you think Tony Snowjob would not stoop any lower, he reaches another new low.



  18. Republicans are the fear and smear party says:

    Tony, just “stay the course” in repeating that you never said “stay the course.”


  19. Marie says:

    He can lie on Monday and tell a contradictory lie on Tuesday, but the majority of the public will not notice.
    His job is to spin and make it look truthful – the actual content and veracity of his words are immaterial. It’s all for show — it’s the last thing he said – therefore it must be the truth.
    Although, trying to erase “stay the course” from public consciousness is a tough job, watch them all use similar phrasing repeatedly in their efforts to get it all removed and replaced with “adapt and win.”
    The Dems must keep their “stay the course” and all that it implies (losing strategy, quagmire, stuck in quicksand, false “domino theory,” and press the media and the news interviewers to continue to bring up the attempts at revision of history.


  20. Zooey says:

    Snowflake:

    “The idea that somehow I have any honor or integrity whatsoever, is just wrong. It is absolutely wrong.”


  21. Jericho says:

    Job description of ANY republican since 2000: “Tell the people whatever they want to hear for as long as we’re in power”.


  22. Mitch says:

    them liers don’t know where to turn anymore…
    can’t say i’m sorry

    what goes around comes around
