SCOTTY McCLELLAN STARTS SPENDING MORE TIME WITH HIS FAMILY GANNON/GUCKERT; TONY SNOW LEAVES ONE RIGHT WING PROPAGANDA OP FOR ANOTHER

>


When the rumors were just whispers I had to assure DWT readers that I wasn't making a late April Fools Joke when I said Tony Snow had been felt out by Josh Bolten to play Scotty McClellan's role in a reshuffling of the deck chairs on the Titanic. Well, today it becomes official.

I guess Bush and President Bolten don't mind that Snow referred to Bush as "an embarrassment" and the most "impotent" president ever. Snow, an extreme right wing propagandist masquerading as a "fair and balanced" tv journalist went from lock-step Bush rah-rah, fruit-cake to someone forced by the obvious to mention that Bush "doesn't seem to mean what he says." In fact last September Snow wrote in his column that Bush "has given the impression that [he] is more eager to please than lead, and that political opponents can get their way if they simply dig in their heels and behave like petulant trust-fund brats, demanding money and favor-- now!" That isn't the image he will be expected to help portray-- the carefully crafted, bogus Rovean image of Bush as a "leader"-- in his new position inside the White House. No more staying from the Party Line with remarks and digs-- just one month ago-- like "George W. Bush and his colleagues have become not merely the custodians of the largest government in the history of humankind, but also exponents of its vigorous expansion."

Fact of the matter is much of Snow's criticism of Bush and his disastrous Regime has come from an even further right-wing perspective, which should surprise no one who has looked into ex-socialist hippie-turned right-wing fanatic and nut-case, Snow. (The far, far right, which finds Snow one of their own easily embraces nutty statements like "On the policy side, he has become a classical dime-store Democrat. He gladly will shovel money into programs that enjoy undeserved prestige, such as Head Start. He seems to consider it mean-spirited to shut down programs that rip-off taxpayers and mislead supposed beneficiaries.") Of course, even normal Americans agree with some of Snow's criticism of Bush, like "When it comes to federal spending, George W. Bush is the boy who can't say no. In each of his three years at the helm, the president has warned Congress to restrain its spending appetites, but so far nobody has pushed away from the table mainly because the president doesn't seem to mean what he says."

I wonder if any of his colleagues will bring any of this embarrassing stuff up when he starts spouting the Bush Regime malarkey on a day-to-day basis. (Oh, and thanks Sean Paul from the Agonist for the nice photo.)

Love the photo. As for his comments they are just blatant lies. Headstart does work as plenty of studies show.

On a side note I do find it interesting how some people seem to swing from one extreme to other ideologically that is. Snow is like that blowhard David Horowitz in that way.

It reminds me of drug addicts or abusers who partied like animals who get clean and then become born again Christians or just simply say you shouldn't do anything at all at any time. Essentially they become prudes and scold everyone for every moral failing they see.

Very black and white thinking.

As a recent character in a movie pointed out...only the Sith thinks that way.

The photo that you posted looks kind of like a young John Kerry with a beard.

What was so demoralizing and I cannot help but think they do this on purpose, is that Bush said that Tony was in touch with real Americans or the real people, like Dr. Laura, and Rush, etc.

How pitiful is that? I say we keep up the attacks on Rush and Dr. Laura and the rest. They have pretty shady pasts. At a 32% approval ratings, it is indeed only the dittoheads and the religiously insane who are still buying anything this crowd is selling.

Yes, Tony Snow is in touch with all the "real Americans." That's why the Freepers were busy this week scrubbing his posts and deleting his account there. Yeeeech.
