Tony Snow NOT taking job to drink Kool-Aid, but to serve the President.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

In his first interview since accepting the job of White House Press Secretary with Cox News, Tony Snow says he will feel free to express his opinions at the White House and isn't coming to 'drink the Kool Aid.'

Q. Your criticism of him in the past, are you free to keep telling him that kind of stuff now that you are on the payroll?

A. Probably not in those exact words.

Q. But the same message? They want to hear it?

A. Yeah. They want people to express their opinions. You're not coming here to drink the Kool-Aid. You're coming here to serve the president. And at this particular juncture I think what you want is as much honest counsel as you can get. So when I agree I'm going to agree but when I disagree. But on any opinion his vote is the tie-breaker.

1. That's a great tagline

He reports, I'm the decider

Love it

2. "...what you want is as much honest counsel as you can get."

Well, the word "honest" automatically disqualifies this entire administration. Nice try, though, Tony. :sarcasm:


(I have to confess that when I read the words "to serve the President" I immediately thought of the classic Twilight Zone episode, "To Serve Man." Good grief, but I'm a dork. :P )

Edit: oops. Shpelling.

Hey, the liberal light is always on at the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. Please stop by and say "hi!"

6. I could almost here Bush* thinking, "WTF ?!?"

"That's NOT what Turd Blossom hired you for!"

(Edit: But then thinking, "Oh, yeah, heh heh, I get it now, heh heh.")

3. It just ups his up-front money on future book deals

It's for the money Tony, don't bullshit us because we know you're a smart man. How do we know? Even I have heard you say this administration is fucked up and the war even more fucked. But now you'll get paid to lie and say it's not. I can't wait for the next Cheney hunting trip or the next prisoner abuse story to come out to see you dance like a sideshow chicken on a hot floor.

4. First question to Tony Snow should be:

"Tony, you're replacing a serial liar. However, in light of your former network's very cozy relationship with this White House, how are we in good conscious to think anything you tell us is not plain and simple propaganda?"

7. Snow just another flea on the windshield of history
