Could Tony Snow actually be WORSE than Scott Mc"NoComment?"

[cboy4]

Scott McClellan did a lot of lying and no commenting (as we know) while press secretary.

But :wtf: is up with Tony Snow?

Does he think he's still working for FAUX, trying to editorialize and exaggerate things?

Between overstatements and asking reporters questions in response to their questions, he appears to be a train wreck "a-coming!!" (Which may not be so bad for our side)


Jul 24, 2006 — WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Tony Snow, President George W. Bush's chief spokesman, apologized on Monday for saying Bush believed embryonic stem cell research amounted to "murder," saying he had overstated the president's position.

1. He must be the worst.

When did Tony's bosses ever make Socky or Airy apologize for anything?

[jobycom]

2. SNow is much better at stonewalling than McClellan.

3. The Daily Spin show

4. He's worse, but c'mon...

...you really can't be surprised. He came from Fox fercryinoutloud!@

I think the lowest was his "thanks for the Hezbollah viewpoint" comment to Helen Thomas. Ida loved to see him get slapped around by her.

11. OMG, when was that comment Sal?

I wanna track down the video and take a look! Thanks. :)

17. Check your inbox.

The link to the thinkprogress video is there.

QUESTION: The United States is not that helpless. It could have stopped the bombardments of Lebanon. We have that much control with the Israelis.

SNOW: I don’t think so.

QUESTION: We have gone for collective punishment against all of Lebanon and Palestine. And what’s happening — and that’s the perception of the United States.

SNOW: Well, thank you for the Hezbollah view, but I would encourage you…

18. I just watched.....holy crap, he is worse......he was arguing with her

like a 3rd grader.

How embarrassing.

[stanwyck]

20. She should have slapped him

that was low, even for Tony. And typical of the rightwing, I'll avoid the issue by making an insulting, personal remark.
Saves me from dealing with the question.
Snow is just more Rush/Hannity/O'Reilly - leading the press conference.

21. wasn't it great the way her colleagues stuck up for her?

the way they just got up and walked out after he acted in such an insulting manner?

[jaxx]

5. We ain't seen nothin yet.

Snow's an entertainer first.......and we're seeing that. He'll get his chops busted more than just this time. He's the star of the show.......lol don't tell dubya.

[seaglass]

6. Snow has a mean streak, something I don't think McClellan

really had. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised by anthing anymore but I find it sad that a President of the US would want to be represented by such a condescending asshole. So yeah Snow is much worse than McClellan was.

[caledesi]

14. Agree. And he likes to get his "digs" in about Bill Clinton. I

can't stand him

[C_U_L8R]

7. I miss Scotty

he was funnier...
Snow is just a weasel

[William Seger]

8. Snow is simply too dumb for this job

[Tellurian]

9. Snow is an overachiever-

He thought his comment would ingratiate him forever as an outspoken
RW neocon...<backfired>

[madeline_con]

10. Snow said: "He would not use that term."

Tony's not very good at this, is he?

Scott always looked sweaty and uncomfortable.

[orleans]

12. worse--always asking reporters their opinions

jeez tony--why don't you just tell us the fucking facts and stop trying to get reporters to reveal what *they* would do. who cares?

you're a jerk tony snow!

[cboy4]

13. Just tell us the fucking facts!! LOL

:rofl:

Yea, that'll be the day!

[Rosemary2205]

15. Isn't that why they hired him??

Scotty was letting too much actual info slip out. Tony has done a good job just wasting the press's time. This murder comment was just one small slip of truthiness. Obviously they put the smackdown on Snow and got him back in line.

[cboy4]

16. "...one small slip of truthiness." !

LOL!!

[Gabi Hayes]

19. you know who's MUCH worse?

the fricking little twerps who just sit there and eat it up every day

they just take it

and they take some more

I used to enjoy the Scottie gaggles, when the WH Press CorpsE would laugh in his face and treat him with the respect with which he was due, but I've seen NO evidence of this so far. Have I just missed it, for lack of watching, or what? I don't think so, cause it would have been mentioned here, but I haven't seen any report of press gumption, with the exception of Helen, of course
