All press secretaries come from somewhere - what's the big deal about Snow coming from Fox?

Helen Thomas: "Tony, when Dick Cheney planned on wiping out New Orleans with his Weather/Earthquake/Tsunami Defibrillator and Combination over and under Shotgun Atomizer and Pocket Knife did he expect us to simply not notice?"

Tony; "Helen, come on, listen to what you're saying..."

Helen: "Now, young man, you didn't come in here planning on giving us the old Bush/Cheney snow job and just take it, did you!?"

press corp; 'eruptions of muffled, barely restrained laughter and out right guffaws, Helen's teeth pop out as she yucks it up over her clever little joke...'

You're right. But it seems to confirm what they've been saying all along - Roger Ailes is Bush's buddy, and FOX is the Republican News Network.

Admittedly, anyone who has ever read Tony, listened to Tony or tuned into Tony's radio show KNOWS, he's no shill for Republicans. He's conservative, but that's probably where it ends.

Who was THEIR choice for press secretary - Al Franken?

If the DU is up in arms, he must be the right choice.

Cindy Sheehan.


Wonder if there's going to be a sudden jump in Bushies popularity, with 100% of Republicans now approving of his job performance.

That's how I take a position if I don't have time to run down the story for myself: I go over to the DU and whatever position those psychotics are taking, I take the opposite. That method hasn't failed me yet.

But you really have to read because sometimes they'll have a sensible non-psychotic person on there with a perfectly factual and rational argument. So you have to go by the majority.
