SnowNo

I'm giving the new White House Press Secretary, Fox News' Tony Snow, two weeks.

Anther nod to Crooks & Liars for this footage of his first on-camera press gaggle. Snow's earnest, I'll give him that, but absurdly tries to "reason" his way through the lies rather than just stonewall like his predecessor Scott McClellan. See how it's akin to watching one of those Broadway musicals based on, like, Stephen King's Carrie, where everyone kind of already knows it's a crazy idea but the property is big enough you just might take a chance opening night. Then it's just embarrassing in the theater, train wreck jollies at best.

Sadly yet humorously, Snow made what might charitably be called a verbal gaffe when he said:
Having said that, I don't want to hug the tar baby of trying to comment on the program... the alleged program, the existence of which I can neither confirm or deny.

Hug the tar baby?

Y'o.k., Unca Remus.

So it's disaster after scandal for BushCheneyCo, today featuring Tony Snow's unintentional racism, i.e. ignorance At least he's not willful, like Confederate flag fetishist Senator George Allen (R-Va.). And you know nobody wants Snow's job anyway. Who would?

Who in their right mind would want any job with this Administration?
