13. Ah, I dispute that missb came up with 'Snow Job' first
Edited on Mon Apr-24-06 09:51 PM by Jack Rabbit
From the website of The Nation on the discussion of the short piece Fair and Balanced White House? by Ari Berman. This was when the rumor that McClellan was to be replaced by Snow was breaking news.

The very first post on the discussion is:

Will this make White House press briefings officially what they've always been in the Bush regime: Snow jobs?

22. We're discussing Tony Snow's colon (removed) over at ---
this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1021273&mesg_id=1021273

I know this is very dark humor, but how about "The Abominable Snow who Sh*** in a Bag"?

Really, from the humanitarian point of view, I hope he's OK with this physical stuff.

23. I hope he's OK
There's not much to go on here. Hopefully, it's been detected early.

If it's any conslulation to Snow, he'll only hold the position for about a year. After that, President Pelosi will want to pick her own press secretary.

24. He appears to be waiting for the first-year check-up oncology report.
I certainly don't want to gloat about this. Just saw an advertisement in the Portland Oregonian -- 1 in 3 gets colon cancer. We both just had colonscopies this year. We're set for another ten years (the disease is not in either of our families).

President Pelosi! Good one!

31. Yesterday, Lou Dobbs read an email from someone mentioning
the daily White House "Snow Jobs" we're in for.

Dobbs made a crack along the lines of "expect to hear that comment much more in the future."

So it looks as though "Snow Job" is well on its way to becoming a revived, active part of the lexicon. :-)
