We can get rid of these traitors, the cure is called impeachment. Try it, it won’t hurt.
January 26th, 2007 at 3:30 pmI’m presuming his experience comes from visiting Liberty University…rut roh snowjob..Jerry’s gonna smite you!!
January 26th, 2007 at 3:32 pmGod, I hate you Tony Snow. How do you sleep @ night, when you lie everyday
January 26th, 2007 at 3:37 pmUm, no.
Good god. What is he trying to do?
January 26th, 2007 at 3:38 pmCan we dish here?
Let’s see! What fabulous breakfast treat was on Grover Norquist’s dish?
Quiche, quiche, quiche, quiche, and more quiche.
John
January 26th, 2007 at 3:40 pmHe was misquoted.
We misunderstood him.
Wait for it, folks. The backpedaling is coming……
January 26th, 2007 at 3:40 pmTony Snow having breakfast with Grover Norquist…Let’s all think about that for a moment. Oaky, two of the most anti-americans and one works in the whitehouse.
January 26th, 2007 at 3:41 pmKa-pow! Truth hurts, doesn’t it, libs …
January 26th, 2007 at 3:41 pmThis administration is doing its best, either explicitly or in an implied manner, to stifle dissent in this country. I believe it was either Goebbels or Goring who said that one of the ways to curb dissent is to make sure that the voices of the intellectuals should be silenced. During Nixon’s time, dissent was suppresed covertly; under the Bush administration, the atmosphere of suppression today is attempted in a much more overt manner. Will there be enough safeguards in this country to make sure that they are not successful in their attempts to crush any dissenting voices that wish to dare challenge this administration?
January 26th, 2007 at 3:43 pm“The Iranian people are more pro-American than any American university faculty.â€
Since Shrub is willing to nuke Iran, because they are more pro-American, can we assume that he would be nuking American Univesities as well?
January 26th, 2007 at 3:44 pmI read Wonkette sometimes but usually the quotes are sourced to an article somewhere. This one is not sourced at all. I understand reporting hearsay sometimes but a completely unsourced Wonkette one-liner is probably not the most reliable. They didn’t even say “our mole at the breakfast said” or somesuch.
January 26th, 2007 at 3:45 pmThink Progress shouldn’t go where Wonkette goes without some back-up.
what? “but we gotta nuke ‘em anyway” …?
of course the premise is ridiculous… but what’s his reasoning?…
January 26th, 2007 at 3:48 pmHe’s the decider, katy. After all, why should Democrats (Truman) have all the fun?
You go to hell with the C-in-C you don’t want, not the one you elected.
January 26th, 2007 at 3:52 pmKa-pow! Truth hurts, doesn’t it, libs …
Comment by Jason M. Hendler — January 26, 2007 @ 3:41 pm
What hurts is being subjected to your stupidity on a daily basis. Quit displaying here as if it were something to be proud of.
January 26th, 2007 at 3:53 pmYep Hendler, all dem dang edumakated folks at dem fancy book larnin’ places don’t support the presnit or tha dang troops. Hendler STFU! Just because educated people are more prone to see through the lies of your fuhrer than the bumpkin folk that voted for Bush, doesn’t mean we are anti american. Quite the opposite, numbnuts.
January 26th, 2007 at 3:54 pmAnybody else sniffing the odor of desperation? They seem to be saying increasingly outrageous things. Cheney ripped poor old Wolf the other day. I hope someone is watching the treasury; I’ll bet there’s a whole lot of looting going on just before they go on trial.
January 26th, 2007 at 3:54 pmSnow obtained his Bachelor of Arts in philosophy from Davidson College in 1977. He taught physics and geography in Kenya, and was a substitute teacher in Cincinnati, teaching everything from calculus to art.
Sounds like a closet liberal to me =)
January 26th, 2007 at 3:54 pmWhy does Tony Snow hate America?
January 26th, 2007 at 3:57 pmrebel, i did not see yours before posting mine… eerie…
January 26th, 2007 at 3:57 pmKa-pow! Truth hurts, doesn’t it, libs …

O’ wise man hath thy mistaken thy chalice O’ wisdom with thy kool-aid crucible?
January 26th, 2007 at 4:01 pmClearly, the right emboldens the enemy. History will prove just how wrong they were and how complicit the left was.
January 26th, 2007 at 4:01 pmWhy the hell aren’t the MSM kicking these jerks asses?
We want honest journalism again. Enough of this shit.
Enough is Enough!
January 26th, 2007 at 4:02 pmIranian people are more pro-American than any American university faculty
Even Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University, Tony?
January 26th, 2007 at 4:03 pmKa-pow! Truth hurts, doesn’t it, libs …
Comment by Jason M. Hendler
Yes it does. The truth that this man is the public face for this horrid administration hurts me to the core as an American.
January 26th, 2007 at 4:05 pmYou can’t get much more American than most University professors…
Wait a minute – didn’t this administration try to more narrowly define American as anyone not defined as enemy combatants? So they consider Iranians better citizens to this nation than Padella? (I think that’s his name).
This administration needs a headcheck, and not just from a therapist, I’m thinking the better solution involves baseball-bat diplomacy…
January 26th, 2007 at 4:05 pmHey Jason if you didn’t have these mythical magical ‘liberals’ to berate all day what would ever do with enmity?
January 26th, 2007 at 4:06 pm*with your enmity
January 26th, 2007 at 4:08 pmWait until they invade…all that will change. Just ask the Iraqi’s
January 26th, 2007 at 4:11 pmLIBERALS HATE TRUTH
Liberals never let facts get in the way of a good argument. That is just one of the undeniable truths of life that must be accepted by all conservatives. A recent posting on this web site from a chronic Bush hater called “bushisacrook†offers up W’s “resume†and accomplishments as president. Unfortunately this posting was full of lies and half truths, witch is the typical basis for a liberal arguments. It would take to much space to address them all individually,
GEORGE W. BUSH RESUME
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT:
1. I attacked and took over two countries. Yes, this is what Bush did. Without being provoked, George Bush took it upon himself to attack and take over two countries….and we would like to apologize to Canada and Mexico.
2. I spent the U.S. surplus and bankrupted the Treasury.
I shattered the record for biggest annual deficit in history.
I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 2-month period. I set the all-time record for the most foreclosures in a 12-month period. I set all-time record for biggest drop in the history of the stock market. Hey, did you hear? We’re bankrupt. I guess the Wall Street Journal missed that story, and for the record, the deficit, as a percentage of GDP, which is the only important measuring stick, is still lower than it’s been in decades. (It’s called Economics 101. Take it. Learn It. Live It.) It is an economic fact that George Bush inherited a U.S. economy that was stalling and beginning to tumble and had to deal with a world that was in a death spiral from Germany to Japan. Then 9/11 wreaked havoc on the the economic center of the universe….All in all, I’d say Bush has done a pretty good job protecting us from a Carter-like malaise.
3. In my first year in office I set the all-time record for most days on vacation by any president in US history. After taking the entire month of August off for vacation, I presided over the worst security failure in US history. Any third grader probably understands that a president, never has a vacation. Ever. All they do is move the headquarters for the running of the free world from one location to another. If you call having constant, 24 hour, security presence and daily briefings from everyone who works for you a vacation, then you’re right. ( What a bullshit complaint. I probably shouldn’t even have acknowledged it.)
4. In my first two years in office over 2 million Americans lost their jobs.
I cut unemployment benefits for more out-of-work Americans than any other president in US history. See Economy 101. And for the record, in the last 8 months nearly 1.5 million new jobs have been created, thanks to Bush tax cuts and economic policy.
5. I signed more laws and executive orders amending the Constitution than any other president in US history. After Economics 101, check out Civics 102. Amending the constituion requires a super majority vote of both houses of congress, then ratification by the legislative branches of two thirds of the states. It’s a little harder than just a pen stroke.
6. I presided over the biggest energy crises in US history and refused to intervene when corruption was revealed. I presided over the highest gasoline prices in US history and refused to use the national reserves as past presidents have. Are you starting to understand why school vouchers are so important. Apparently the person who posted this was not alive when Jimmy Carter was president. I remember gas rationing and the “odd/even†method of being told what day you could buy gas. If Bush would have emptied the national oil reserves the day he took office, it would be making it to the pump right about now….but then again, you’d have to understand a little bit about how the oil industry works to get it.
7. I set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously take to the streets to protest me (15 million people), shattering the record for protest against any person in the history of mankind. It’s good to be the king.
8. I dissolved more international treaties than any president in US history. Thank you. And would the jackasses who kept us in those outdated, irrelevant treaties please stand up.
9. I’ve made my presidency the most secretive and unaccountable of any in US history. How do you know? I mean, wouldn’t the most secret and unaccountable presidency, still be a secret….and unaccountable?
10. I am the first president in US history to have all 50 states of the Union simultaneously go bankrupt. Again, the Wall Street Journal must be sleeping on the job to miss this one.
11. I presided over the biggest corporate stock market fraud in any market in any country in the history of the world. No, that would be Bill Clinton. On two counts. The Enron and World Com debacles were at fever pitch under Clinton….and do you recall under which administration Ken Lay and all his ilk were exposed and prosecuted?…..
12. I am the first president in US history to order a US attack and military occupation of a sovereign nation, and I did so against the will of the United Nations and the world community. Okay take Economics first period, Civics second period and American History third period. We’ll leave the schedule open after lunch.
13. I rendered the entire United Nations irrelevant. The United Nations rendered itself irrelevant by failing to do what it said it would and then actively try to thwart enforcement of it’s own directives. By the way, you should also do some reading on the Oil For Food scandal that receives virtually no media attention in this country. The reason the U.N. fought against invading Iraq is because so many U.N. officials and world leaders were making so much money off Sadam being in power, to lose it would be unthinkable.
At this point I’m just tired. If there were at least some factual basis to the remaining claims made by this crazed Bush hater I might enjoy the debate, but when an argument is based on lies, ignorance and willful distortion…there is no debate. In fact, there is nothing worthy of debate, a point I prove with a final challenge.
Our visitor wrote; In a little over two years I have created the most divided country in decades, possibly the most divided that the US has been since the civil war. This is from the same write who called Bush a liar, a crook, a drunk, a deserter, a murderer and a moron. Who’s dividing the country?
January 26th, 2007 at 4:12 pmHow come Grover (and his brother) aren’t in jail, yet? We should all remember this meeting between Snow & Grover when Grover goes away and Bush claims he doesn’t know him (ala Abramoff)
January 26th, 2007 at 4:13 pmYep SixPack the evil doers are hiding out at Liberty and Bob Jones University and I think we should nuke their asses ASAP
January 26th, 2007 at 4:13 pmand wasn’t there a story recently about amahdinijad (sp) getting rid of professors and teachers? … what am i thinking of? (with randi in my right ear… now THAT’s some good rant)
January 26th, 2007 at 4:14 pmLet me guess- Our decision to spread democracy and freedom to the brown-skinned ones really worked, huh? Maybe someone should ask Tony Snow-job how long it is going to take for us to get socialized medicine, like the Iraqis had before we invaded them. I’d really like to know- I have a boil on my a- the size of Tony’s pinhead.
January 26th, 2007 at 4:16 pm#34- Hey, Randi’s in my right ear, too. I was taking a nap and all the talk about Cheney gave me a nightmare and I woke up. Waaah!

January 26th, 2007 at 4:21 pmWho’s dividing the country?
Comment by Joanie Doe — January 26, 2007 @ 4:12 pm
Take a look at what people like Bill “culture warrior” O’Rielly, Tucker “I stopped wearing my bow tie” Carlson, and Rush “please don’t ask me about those pills” Limbaugh say on a daily basis, then bet back to me on who is dividing the country. The republicans, have been dividing and subdividing Americans into smaller and smaller groups to achieve their goals.
January 26th, 2007 at 4:23 pmSnow is an idiot.
January 26th, 2007 at 4:25 pm“Ka-pow! Truth hurts, doesn’t it, libs …”
Isn’t that nice Jason. You are telling us that no matter what Tony Snow says you take it for truth!!!!!! Once again Snow makes a blanket statement that is completely irresponsible and the sheople like Jason hail it as truth. What a sad bunch of people the 30 percenters are.
January 26th, 2007 at 4:26 pmHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA **cough** HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA **wheeze** HA HA HA HA HA HA HA … HA HA HA HA HA HA … HA HA … HA …
Ahem.
You know, if you projected any more, you’d be a PowerPoint presentation.
January 26th, 2007 at 4:28 pmSnow melts.

Comment by Jason M. Hendler
What truth are you talking about, Jason?
It is apparent that Tony Snow had breakfast with Grover Norquist….
January 26th, 2007 at 4:33 pmUnfortunately this posting was full of lies and half truths, witch is the typical basis for a liberal arguments.
Dear Rachel, you can’t even cut and paste the correct spelling of which.
January 26th, 2007 at 4:34 pmSad, poor pathetic lil Rachel.
May I ask, which witch is which?
Ka-pow! Truth hurts, doesn’t it, libs …
Comment by Jason Misogynist Hendler — January 26, 2007 @ 3:41 pm
All the topics of today, and our resident woman hater, debates (whoops, I mean disrupts) with this???
January 26th, 2007 at 4:36 pmPoor, pathetic, lonely, lil Jason.
Perhaps we need a law stating that all of our public servants are under oath while they are on the clock.
January 26th, 2007 at 4:37 pm#41- Hey- Shouldn’t you be busy parting the Dead Sea, or something?
January 26th, 2007 at 4:38 pmDid Snowjob play Grove’s flute?
Look, Tony radiates gayness.
Nothing wrong with that, unless you’re lying to everyone else about who you are.
Tony, have you played Karl’s flute? I bet you two could make some beautiful music together.
What’s that? Uncle Jeff taught you how to play the flute. How nice!
Just keep pulling the dirt in after you; that hole will be whole before dawn.
January 26th, 2007 at 4:46 pmTony Snow is a complete idiot and an embarrassment to any person educated in the United States college system. The fact that this imbicile holds the job he has is a treatise to the depth of insanity that we have allowed our government to sink to. A country run by fools and incompetant egomaniacs whose voice is no more than a talk-radio asshole.
January 26th, 2007 at 4:51 pm#46- I’ve ALWAYS said that. It should be law.
January 26th, 2007 at 4:56 pmI prefer to part the seas of stupidity.
Which, with the likes of Jason Hendler, could be a full time job …
January 26th, 2007 at 4:56 pm#47: Dude, I could part the dead sea easy. All I’d have to do is claim that evildoers were storing wmds there, and the war hawks would be on it instantly
January 26th, 2007 at 4:57 pmTony is like the unfed and unwatered dog in my neighborhood who barked all day long on it’s chain, and was let loose at night to scrounge what it could off of back porches.
January 26th, 2007 at 4:58 pmEventually, I guess it drank something it didn’t agree with……..

January 26th, 2007 at 4:59 pmDear cut-n-paste trolling Rachel,
Please spare us the wasted bandwidth of those horribly long posts which NOBODY IS READING.
God, stupid Conservatives have NO ORIGINAL THOUGHTS.
January 26th, 2007 at 5:06 pmDesperation is a stinky cologne, Tony.
January 26th, 2007 at 5:25 pm#51- I seriously doubt that you could actually part your stupid a-. Get a more constructive life.
January 26th, 2007 at 5:26 pmONCE AGAIN, stupid Conservatives choose to compare and contrast themselves with the enemy (gotta keep you terrrrrfied!) than with America and it’s values.
Who’s the terrorist’s best ally again?
January 26th, 2007 at 5:30 pmDude … what the holy hell are you typing about?
Hint: If you’re really a “Liberal in New Mexico” you might wanna know that I’m a liberal in Missouri.
Mix in some decaf …
January 26th, 2007 at 5:37 pmIf we bomb them, an entire new generation of Iranians will hate us with an undying passion, and the mullahs will get a new lease on life.
We’d feel the same way if they bombed us to stop Bush, wouldn’t we?
January 26th, 2007 at 5:44 pmWhy would anyone be surprised at what the Snow-job says anymore? After all, he was and still is on the Faux NoNooz cartoon network payroll.
And the only ones still watching the comic relief on Murdoch’s WH-owned broadcast system are the 28%ers who still think Darth Cheney is an honorable man and brush their 4 remaining tooths once a month whether they need to or not.
This getting funnier by the day!
January 26th, 2007 at 5:47 pmI see Judd is leaving. No big loss as I can see. And good riddance while I am at it.
I am going to miss all of the ” underlings ” around here yelling ” Judd Help! I am spineless and defenseless and they are talking mean to me. Please make them stop! I am so psychologically damaged and unbalanced that this poster is really getting under my skin! ”
Please make them stop! I have no other recourse against true debaters and patriots other than to fold my tent and run to you for some kind of strange assistance that I never recieve by the way.
You democrats are all mental midgets.
Bwahahahaha!!
January 26th, 2007 at 5:54 pmIf the right hates universities and learning instututions so much, why did they go ahead and make a bunch of their own?

Because if they didn’t have any of their own, where else could they dump the Dubya Memorial Liberry? Ya think any self-respecting ‘liberal’ institution of higher learning would want it stinking up their campus?

WOW, if this troll really believes that, it puts Dubya’s IQ lower than whale shit…. and the 28%ers who still swallow his load even lower!
January 26th, 2007 at 6:02 pmI hear the White House Press secretaries Alumni association is going to give him the dreaded’ Liars wedgie” at their next meeting. He will receive the coveted well hung award as Mr. Snow will be suspended just by his torn whiteytighties on the south lawn fence posts. He will remain there for an hour and half on Sat. during the March and be available to answer questions from the public. after his half hour of real public service is up he will receive the Medal of Freedom from President Bush in a private ceremony, and from now on he’ll only lie every other answer.
January 26th, 2007 at 6:04 pm“….which is why we must launch a pre-emptive strike against them…..”
what the hell kind of reasoning is being applied there?
wonder whether Tony goes to a Dr. that was educated at an American University?
witch-hunter, scapegoater types – why are they that way?
what makes joanie doe so frigid and vicious?
