Oh, it’ll still be bloody, just in their pants.
February 21st, 2008 at 5:51 pmhooray!! now they can each have one friend!!
that’s special
February 21st, 2008 at 5:51 pmSnow is “filling in” for the temporary host, Bill O’Reilly. Look for this to become permanant after Bill O’s lynching comments, re: Michelle Obama.
February 21st, 2008 at 5:54 pmpermanent. Ugh.
February 21st, 2008 at 5:54 pmSurely this is no surprise. Peas in a pod.
February 21st, 2008 at 5:56 pmThe reality is that Tony Snow has had the same job for the last 10 years.
February 21st, 2008 at 5:58 pmTony Snow has seen his dismal career slowly evaporate for the last few years. It has been fun to watch him try to remain ‘neutral’ while knowing full well who butters his bread.
He went from a journalist to a water carrying shill for the bush criminal enterprise. I have a feeling God will want to speak with him about his support for our chimpster. Get ready for your last, great press conference Tony!
February 21st, 2008 at 6:02 pmtweedledee and tweedledum, what a dismal pair. Now Snowjob can continue to extol the great virtues of the buffoon’s administration. Hell, no one else would hire the dumb ass. O’Lielly has just added another lapdog to his kennel i.e. Dennis Miller, Dick Morris, Newt Gingrich, Ann Coulter (God, what a crone), and the assorted mutts he drags in. I really don’t mean to insult dogs, I am a avid dog lover. Maybe Billo will hire the bleached blond after dufus leaves.
February 21st, 2008 at 6:05 pmOnly Billo would hire a guy with cancer as a “permanent fill-in host.”
February 21st, 2008 at 6:07 pmThe Perfect Pair: Two Scumbag Snowjobs
February 21st, 2008 at 6:08 pmSnow, Rove….who’s next….Condi giving fashion trend reports? Or will O’Reilly want to lynch her too.
February 21st, 2008 at 6:09 pmThis ought to be great! I’d love to see a cancer victim smash O’Biley in the face a few times.
February 21st, 2008 at 6:10 pmTotally off topic, but the hot topics listed above would make a great headline:
Radical Right Media Tortures Ethnics in Iraqi Administration
February 21st, 2008 at 6:13 pmOh.
That’s Ethics?
Never mind.
February 21st, 2008 at 6:13 pmCan’t decide which one of the two brings the other down the most.
February 21st, 2008 at 6:20 pmJust one more reason to never watch Fox News. Let me count, be back tomorrow.
February 21st, 2008 at 6:24 pmTony Snowjob is the perfect guest host for O’Reilly. But Karl Rove must be pissed. Maybe Hannity will will pick him up.
• Detox from Fox: Starve The Beast
February 21st, 2008 at 6:40 pman example of the bland leading the bland. is tony snow remotely interesting? he’s a partisan shill and a boring one at that. about as interesting as watching paint dry.
February 21st, 2008 at 6:41 pmNow if fox would just hire GlennnnBecky and Tucker.
February 21st, 2008 at 6:42 pmAhhh, is that anything like the second Tuesday of next week?
My calendar says that tomorrow is Friday, and it is still February, but, I’m seein’ the 22nd as tomorrow’s date. Typical righies; they don’t even know what day it is.
February 21st, 2008 at 6:42 pmthe evil Snakehead fish invading England made for a more interesting story.
February 21st, 2008 at 6:42 pmThere goes my lunch.
-AF
February 21st, 2008 at 6:42 pmLooks like Right-Wing-Radio is becoming the new home for the unemployable.
February 21st, 2008 at 6:46 pmCancer of the colon meet cancer of the brain, I’m sure you folks have a lot you can talk about.
February 21st, 2008 at 6:52 pmO’Biley is a cowardly bully. The first time Snow stands up to him, mano y mano, toe to toe and stares him down, Billy will run crying to his mommy.
February 21st, 2008 at 7:02 pmTwo “non-factors”.
February 21st, 2008 at 7:03 pmTony Snow is sinking to new depths with every move he makes.
February 21st, 2008 at 7:04 pmSnow: Thanks for having me.
BORe: Thanks for letting me have you.
February 21st, 2008 at 7:07 pmRove: Snow, nice to have you on board. Funny isnt it that the only work we can get is at FOX?
Snow: I know! Gimme a hug!
BORe: Group Hug!!
February 21st, 2008 at 7:10 pmYeah, they will be spouting BLOODY PROPAGANDA.
The reichtards will eat up anything Snowjob blows their way.
He was quite the liar for Bush and now he can be quite the liar for the biggest liar, Bildo the sexual predator falafel boy himself.
Buck Fush
February 21st, 2008 at 7:19 pmTony Snow is gradually devolving. If his career continues to go like this he’ll be in journalism school soon.
February 21st, 2008 at 7:23 pmMaybe they can talk about lynching black folks together.
February 21st, 2008 at 7:35 pmCool you get to be falafel boys handmaiden. What an honor. As bad as orelly is, it will be a step up from being house liar for the coke-head frat boy.
February 21st, 2008 at 7:41 pmThat Tony Snow is one creepy dude.
February 21st, 2008 at 9:27 pmI don’t know what it is but he creeps me out so bad I have to change the channel.
Maybe he reminds me of some rightwing Frankenstein that has had his human brain replaced with a mutant talking points brain.
Tony needs the money for his illness. He has been jumping around to see who will pay him as he was to late to steal with the White House criminal Team. Tony hopes McCain gets in office so the stealing can continue until the United States hits rock bottom. American really don’t mine another country taking over the United States of America. Just keep those loans from the Saudis and China coming and it will result in a economy take over for sure.
February 21st, 2008 at 10:01 pmI guess you wouldn’t understand.
Comment by Gin — February 21, 2008 @ 9:06 pm
Yer comment doesn’t make any sense. Try again.
February 21st, 2008 at 10:19 pmThe “snow” man and the rehab rat…what a team.
February 21st, 2008 at 10:43 pmNow “Orrallyy” can have his lynching party! Doesn’t have to involve Michele Obama!
And yes, Fox needs more people there to defend McSaint since things are getting ugly. If the New Yourk Times is right and has more proofs,…..it will be just “puuuuufffff” and McSaint will be history!!!
February 21st, 2008 at 10:57 pmSnow is still a Bush White House apologist. More fair and balanced? I think not.
February 21st, 2008 at 11:06 pmI guess you wouldn’t understand.
Comment by Gin
Its not for me to understand your actions or question your rational. I did not say Snow was hired because of his medical problems. I feel that Snow was hired because of his political bias. And that bias undermines the fair and balanced networks said position.
February 21st, 2008 at 11:17 pmGiven O’Reilly’s penchant for late-night sex talk with employees, this could be interesting….
February 21st, 2008 at 11:35 pmOutstanding, we finally have an official lying contest. They should bring in limbaugh and have a hot, sweaty threesome.
February 21st, 2008 at 11:35 pmTony will be in a continual time conundrum for his first day is Friday, yesterday Feb 21. He’ll constantly be a day behind…
February 22nd, 2008 at 12:24 amnow that tony has apparently beaten cancer, what do i do with my CANCER shirt and hat? i was really rooting for the big C. i am disappointed.
February 22nd, 2008 at 3:20 amThe back up guaranteeing the same quality regardless!
February 22nd, 2008 at 5:49 amIt is a job Snow is well qualified for and has been well trained for. Once a toady for for Bush, now a toady for O’Reilly.
February 22nd, 2008 at 7:03 amwell then you only come to this website to be a troll and be a jerk in the comments section. what, burger king lay you off again?
February 22nd, 2008 at 8:48 amGin, I love how your trollish mind works.-
A remark about hiring someone with terminal cancer into a permanent fill-in post goes slip! into he shouldn’t be hired at all.
Then slip! terminal cancer becomes ‘a disability’.THen slip! A disabilty is the same as a young lady whose husband left her. You didn’t hold it against her.
Politics aside, if I were to here someone who’s battling a cancer that may well kill him, I would not put him in a position where he was on call at any moment to fill in for others. Even if the battle is successful, there will be bad days, awful days, days in which you can’t move from bed and days when you have to be rushed to the hospital. No matter how talented the man is, I’d be stupid–and cruel–to make that man a back up. Far better a special correspondent, a segment producer which is not dependent on the schedule.
But let me clue you in: hiring people with an actual disability is worlds different from hiring a young woman deserted by her husband. And hiring someone undergoing chemo, or with Parkinson’s, or with MS is something else again.
And your smug lookame anecdote that is the definition of patronizing rings so false it makes me wonder if you got it from a Loretta Young movie.
How do people become conservatives? I give you exhibit A. A long string of bad equivalences, topped by self-congratulation.
February 22nd, 2008 at 9:16 amLiars of a feather will lie together. Snow was a paid liar for Bush and O’Reilly lies because it makes him feel superior to his followers who fail to understand his abiding disrespect for them when he makes up stuff that anyone with an IQ over 100 knows is straight horse doodoo.
February 22nd, 2008 at 9:34 amTony doesn’t have long for this world so I guess he has to do what he has to do. I personally detest him and the whole bunch at Fox News but I am not expecting him to be around for too much longer
February 22nd, 2008 at 1:46 pmI’m thankful that Snow is joining up with O’Reilley.
Keep them all sequestered in one place where I am less likely to accidentally see them.
February 22nd, 2008 at 3:30 pmWe should suggest to FOX to open some positions for Jan/09. For Bush, Cheney, Rice, Muckasey, Rumsfeld, Petraeus, McSaint (I mean, McCain…) and who knows how many more.
They will all be unemployed by that time, fired by the American people. FOX being the perfect place for them to “congregate” because then they can keep their “worship service” together, since they use to run the DEMONcracy.
The whole AXIS OF EVIL together at FOX. I’m sure it will be like hell!!!
February 22nd, 2008 at 5:01 pmBoy, some very HOSTILE liberals here.
The ratings show that more people watch FOX News than all the other news stations combined. It’s the one they trust. I suggest you all move to Canada before it’s too late! (That’s just a rhetorical statement as Canada’s immigration policy is so regressive that Americans can’t move there)
And, about Bush being fired, he served 2 terms and can’t run again. If he could, I’m sure he could easily defeat both Hussein Obama or Monica Lewinski’s ex-boyfriend’s wife.
February 22nd, 2008 at 7:00 pmAt one point “liberal†meant that everyone’s ideas were important and should be heard. Now it seems liberals hate anyone who refuses to march lockstep with their ideas. It’s a sad day in this world when folks calling themselves “Progressives†spew rhetoric through their pie holes about freedom and human rights then wish someone dead if they disagree with that persons point of view. If you don’t like them then they should die? Who’s next? Jews, Gypsies, Gays, people who work at Burger King?
“Our ideas will change the worldâ€.

It is progressive to use someones terminal illness as a punchline . . . apparently.
I don’t like it when the far-right does it either.
Decency is anti-partisan.
February 23rd, 2008 at 3:04 amDecency is anti-partisan.
Comment by i_love_consistency — February 23, 2008 @ 3:04 am
The word is BIpartisan Moron! And you should make your ability to read, spell and speak English a top priority!! Way above your stupid a$$ decency argument sh|t!!
February 23rd, 2008 at 5:44 pmHi Dixie,
Actually, you just made my point for me.
Thank you.
