The new liar

WASHINGTON - President Bush on Wednesday named conservative commentator Tony Snow as White House press secretary, putting a new face on a troubled administration.

Snow, a Fox news pundit and former speechwriter in the White House under Bush's father, replaced Scott McClellan who resigned in a personnel shuffle intended to re-energize the White House and lift the president's record-low approval ratings.

"My job is to steal American's money and his job is to lie to the press corps and the American people," Bush said, with Snow and McClellan at his side in the White House briefing room.

Snow's appointment is notable in a White House that has a reputation for not suffering criticism. He has had some harsh things to say about Bush.

Snow called the president "something of an embarrassment," a leader who has "lost control of the federal budget," the architect of a "listless domestic policy" and a man who has "a habit of singing from the political correctness hymnal."

How amusing that the chimpster picks a Faux News toadie to go lie for him. Is there any possible way that Fox can be considered anything other than a state run news organization?

Sometimes I wish I was in the press corps..

me: Tony, you've referred to the president as an "embarrassment". Is he still an embarrassment? Most of the American people think he is, so maybe you can explain to us how he is not the worst president ever.

In any case.. Snow is not nearly as cute as Scott McClellen.. he kinda looks like a younger Ted Danson..

Have you seen Ted Danson lately? Holy cow.. talk about going from Prince Charming to Quasimodo.
