Has Tony Snow ever had to deal with hostile questioning?
Edited on Wed Apr-26-06 04:29 PM by norml
or just the scripted shills and setups they call "callers" on right wing radio?

I haven't said anything about the whole Tony Snow thing yet, but it seems to me it can only erode even more of their credibility to have made even more obvious their integration with the right wing media machine.

Tony Snow is nothing but a right wing media clown.

He can't handle the truth, nor scrutiny.

Of course a clown might distract from their problems for a moment, as this clown's hiring has done.

2. In time, he'll be in for it
I can hardly wait for the first time he storms off the podium all red-faced. Let's hope the honeymoon will be short and one made in hell. :evilgrin: :evilfrown: :evilgrin:

3. Not to my knowledge......
he's always been "in control". The White House Press Corps could eat him up. But will they? :shrug: I'm not sure they view him as "one of their own".

4. He'll probably handle the press like his boss
Trying to be all "aw shucks" "normal" guy, cracking jokes, greasing palms. If that doesn't work, he'll talk down to them like an elementary school teacher. ("What you have to understand, children, is ... ") Just more spin, just as useless as Puffy was but in a different way.

12. He spouted the party line as if he half-believed it and was a little
bit embarassed to be stuck in that position. So, he laughed his way through it.

Repugs are no match for the finely tuned arguments of an informed atheist. Especially not on national television.

Edit: Spelling

7. My point exactly...
Because we know that Fox is no promulgator of honest debate. This ought to be funny AND entertaining. He doesn't know how to deal with contrary viewpoint and I'll bet all the curry in India that he get flustered pretty quickly and frequently.
I just turned to check into HArdball and I just heard ben ginsberg tell David Gregory that tony snow was, among other things, "A polished performer". This gig ain't scripted and won't be.

11. Nope. I am looking foreward to a MAJOR crash and burn.
I honestly think the only reason he was tapped for the job
is that the first hundred folks on their list turned them down.

No one in their right mind could actually think
this asshat fake journalist is up to the challenge.

We should start a pool for his first meltdown...
