Snow Day: A roundup of reax
Tony Snow is the new White House Press Secretary. I think it's a shrewd move. If Snow is pugnacious, even ornery with the press, so be it. Around the horn:
Suitably Flip notes that, "given his strongly-entrenched Fox identity amassed over the entire decade of the channel's existence, I suspect the carping about overt and manifest ties between the GOP/the Bush administration and the Fox News Channel is about to reach an unholy volume." True, true - apoplexy can't be far off. Has anyone reached Chris Matthews?
Powerline: "His congeniality and media background will buy him some popularity with the reporters who cover the White House. But essentially all of them are partisan Democrats, so that good will will last for about a week. What the White House really needs is someone who can push back aggressively against the liberal tilt of the media, and make the administration's case directly to the people. Tony Snow is equipped to do this, I think; the question is, will he?"
MD Patriot at Kos: "Tony Snow...This one is a professional Bushite scum liar, already proved himself, he'll lie every day for his hero" and "Snow is a fool and liar now, he just changed paymasters. Or did he? Lets investigate to see if Fox might just be keeping Tony boy on their payroll."
Democratic Underground actually offers some insight for a change - a list of his statement's critical of the Bush Administration. Captain Ed notes, "I doubt Tony would have given up his lucrative positions at Fox and in syndication in order to represent policies in which he did not believe. His hiring may not have explicit policy implications, but it hints at some possible shifts."
Wonkette points out Snow is in a band wants to hear Snow's rendition of the Spongebob Squarepants theme song.
