Snow Balls
What do you do when the President's approval ratings reach the freezing point of water -- 32º?
Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow.
Poorman hilarity:
Where are the Men In Black when we need them?TONY SNOW HAS A GIGANTIC HEAD:
If you look into Tony Snow's eyes you can see there's a midget sitting inside his head pulling all the levers and cranks that gives robot Tony Snow his lifelike animatronic reactions. I'll swear right now on a stack of dead grandmothers, if the Bush administration tries to subject the country to this kind of phrenological freak show, there's going to be an uprising that will make the Boston Tea Party look like a fucking tea party!
First time I heard of Tony Snow I was shopping on Christmas Eve in the middle of the afternoon, stuck in traffic, car overheating, waiting forever in a checkout line with the mob of shoppers, 17 checkout lanes at the K-Mart -- only 6 actually manned.
Back in the overheating car, stuck in traffic, it took two hours for a twenty minute errand. My only company was Tony Snow on the radio filling in for Rush Limbaugh.
Maybe I need disassociative therapy, but I've loathed the guy ever since.
I miss ScottBot McManiquin already. The ditto heads and Fox Freepers are well used to Tony Snowjob. Liberal Blogtopia is going to lose it's collective minds. Middle America has no idea what's about to assault their sensibilities.
This move is absolutely classic Rovewellian divisiveness. Especially this little tidbit from Howard Kurtz via Political Wire.
"top officials assured him that he would be not just a spokesman but an active participant in administration policy debates."If this well documented extremist is sitting at the table, actually making policy, all pretense at moderation and rational decision-making is officially over.
Unlike previous White House spokesmen, Snow has a long and very public record. The briefings and analysis of every word he utters will be compared and contrasted with previous statements by Snow himself -- and not POTUS.
Brilliant move, actually. He's naturally controversial, and will take considerable heat off the rest of the administration because the limited air, ink and bandwidth of the punditocracy will be exhausted beating on the messenger and not the usual lack of follow-through on the mixed message.
It’s hard not to wonder if this is all some kind of weird misdirection from the White House, though. I honestly don’t understand why they’re seemingly so set on Snow. What exactly does he bring to the table that’s so unique?Other than "The biggest fucking head this side of Brit Hume, Snow is a daily made-for-TV distraction from the debacle of the administration's policies and incompetence. He is experienced at getting the government's agenda before the public both from his job at speech writing for Bush The Elder, and his daily recitation of GOP talking points at Fox. He's downright media savvy too.
Making this well known insider the public face of the Bush/Cheney/Rove cabal is the opening salvo of the campaign to save Bush's ass from subpoena power in Democrat's hands.
