tony snow - "courteous fellow, almost impossible to dislike"

[BOSSHOG]

The words of William Rusher, a "Distinguished Fellow" of the Claremont Institute for the Study of Statesmanship and Political Philosophy. (Right wing think tank with fancy name.)

Rusher says snow will present a formidable challenge to the press corps, who are overwhelmingly liberal, despise the bush administration, and have delighted in the chance to snarl nasty questions at bush's beleaquered spokesman. The "distinguished statesman" (proven by his diplomatic discourse, no doubt) goes on to say Americans will reject any attempt to cast this thoughtful, well spoken and eminently likeable man as some sort of professional liar, trying to launder the dirty linen of a venal administration.

Gotta love those distinquished political philosophers from Dear old claremont.

No link, claremont offers no website or email in my local paper. They probably have no desire to hear a differing opinion.

1. Don't misunderestimate

my ability to dislike republicans
Anyway, when's TS supposed to start?

[xchrom]

2. it's not hard for ME to dislike him.

[MADem]

3. Glad he's charmed, the guy makes me sick! n/t

[BOSSHOG]

[MADem]

6. so he can lie with a smile on his face... so what

if our press is doing it's job.... (yeah.. big IF)
it should be able to melt down Mr Happy Face Fascist
with little effort. Unfortunately a little effort may
be too much to expect from the press,

7. All week, the press was kissing his ass

Everyone said how fabulous he is.

Makes me sick. F%cking lapdogs. (sorry lapdogs - nothing against you - figure of speech)

8. I dislike all dishonest idealogues who pretend to be truthful and

and unbiased. So it's not impossible to dislike him.

[Inland]

9. The WH press corps liked Scotty personally, too.

Are they going to like Snow more? I doubt it. He's not even a reporter, he's a talking head commentator, and is paid big bucks off the efforts of reporters who actually get news every once in a while, whether Snow understands what the reporters are saying or not.

10. Oh, I dislike alright

I've listened to Snow as he subbed for Rush and I disliked him plenty.

He may have a good radio voice but the smarminess and smug dismissals of mythical "liberals" was even more sickening than pigboy himself, if that's possible.

11. More important ... Why are they seemingly AFRAID to put TS out front?

Wow, how long has it been since the illustrious announcement that FOX Superhero Tony Snow is to take over for Scotty? Yet, where is he?!?

Gee, I think they may be having buyer's remorse to include the cancellation of daily televised Press Briefings. What's up with that?

[BOSSHOG]

13. I believe

he has some personal business to attend to and his health is still an issue. Heard that on Franken this week.

[ShortnFiery]

17. Hum, then one must ask the question WHY were they so

damn hot on getting McClellan OUT OF this position? I'm beginning to believe that it may be Scotty that initiated the break. "Get me out of this frigging' nut-house before I start believe this shit!"

I fear that we'll never know for sure? Especially since this is the most smarmy and secretive Executive Branch in the history of The United States of America. :(

[BOSSHOG]

18. You can bet

that any factual information about that switch or anything else will come from a white house press conference.

12. Tony Snow: the Happy Face of fascism

[BOSSHOG]

15. It brings back those pictures of the adorable little children with the

smiling and caring Adolph Hitler.

My hate is rational and its fine and dandy with me to compare those who want to work for george bush to hitler.

14. Here is the link to Claremont Institute for the etc etc

16. Thanks Jack

but I can't bring myself to venture into their domain. I am somewhat surprised that they don't print that in their columns in newspapers.

[Vickers]

19. Ted Bundy was also considered courteous and enormously likeable.

I wonder if Tony Snow is a serial killer? :shrug:

[Supersedeas]

20. Defense Contractors R us - and ahem Political Philosophy too, lol

[Cha]

21. Yeah, I'm sure he liked

gannon, too.

[Metta]

22. Lipstick on a pig. Let's see if the coporate media shuck and jive.

Old habits can be hard to break.
