White House Spokesman

Tony Snow said this morning on CNN’s American Morning that “I hate to tell you, but itâ€™s not always pretty up there on Capitol Hill. And there have been other scandals, as you know, that have been more than simply naughty e-mails.â€ – That is the White House response? Naughty e-mails? We’re talking about a sexual predator in the U.S. Congress, not just some ‘naughty e-mails.” Think Progress has the video.

Further proof that they just don’t have much to do over at the White House today:

“Mr. Snow, we will be honored if you will play yazz flute for us.”

Those kids over at ThinkProgress seem to like reading the White House daily press briefing transcripts even more than we like reading Playboy. Check out today’s find:

QUESTION: As the President begins to do his homework leading up to the Russia trip, what are his current feelings about Putin? Does he remain a trustworthy friend, or has he evolved into something else?

MR. SNOW: First, he has not “begun” to do his homework.

Tony Snow Goes On The Record

Tony Snow, the former Fox News anchor who will serve as White House Press Secretary did an interview with Bill Sammon of The Examiner. Here are some excerpts. Read to the bottom.

Snow on calling Bush an embarrassment:

I knew it was something Iâ€™d have to deal with, but ironically, I had to deal with it the first time I went into the White House. Iâ€™d also been somewhat critical of the first President Bush.

Snow on DNC Chairman Howard Dean:

Howard Dean was the one public figure who came out hard, but Howard doesnâ€™t know me.

Snow on Bush’s low polling numbers:

When you have a president in the 30s and Congress in the 20s, thatâ€™s bad. And I think one way you restore it is by behaving, by acting in a genial way.

Snow on President Bush punching his critics in the face:

Youâ€™ve seen the president take a lot of blows on the chin because he doesnâ€™t want to ball up his fist and knock peopleâ€™s teeth out. Thereâ€™s an opportunity to make people â€” even people who disagree with us â€” feel really good about the whole thing.

President George W. Bush balling up his fist and knocking people’s teeth out…PRICELESS.

Flashback: Vice President Dick Cheney shoots a man in the face, neck and heart.

Snow Job

New York Times:

On another front, Republicans said that Tony Snow, a commentator for Fox News and a former speechwriter for Mr. Bush’s father, was in negotiations for the job of White House press secretary. Mr. Snow would replace Scott McClellan, who announced Wednesday that he was resigning.

Looks like Harriet Miers is out too!
