NEW YORK When former White House spokesman Tony Snow appeared with Bill O'Reilly on Fox News last night he took some ribbing about all the money he was going to make "bloviating" (as the TV host put it) now. When Snow said that, of course, he would write a book, O'Reilly had a two-for-one idea.

The transcript follows:

O’REILLY: Now what is the career plan here? You’re a fat cat now, ex-White House spokesperson. You can make a lot of money bloviating like I do, give the speeches -- I mean, you know, you can write a book. I assume you can do that, right?

SNOW: Yes.

O’REILLY: But you’re not going to tell all in the book?

SNOW: No, as a matter of fact, I’m going to - I'm interested in two books. I’m going to do a lot of speeches, but also, I’m going to do a book about how you deal with something like cancer. You know.

O’REILLY: A new cancer book.

SNOW: Yes, well, it’s going to be with cancer and also how you deal with the unexpected, because it’s a lot broader.

O’REILLY: You know what you can do with all the respect?
You can combine how-I-deal-with cancer with how-I-deal-with- the-White House press corps. Because they’re both insidious, invasive. They both have to be wiped out. And you know, you see the theme that I’m getting at here?

SNOW: Well, maybe I could thread it into.

O’REILLY: You know, you put little microbes and David Gregory’s face on the cover. You know, it’s huge. This is a high concept deal I’m giving you, man.

SNOW: Oh, man. I’ll tell you what. I’ll let you have that one.

Oh, brother.

1. The propagandists are getting nervous.

Good. We have no 4th estate so it's nice to see the propaganda organ of p-nac self-destructing so overtly.

[originalpckelly]

2. There is something seriously wrong with that man.

He's acted like that stupid kid in school who'd shove pencils up his nose to get attention.

[journalist3072]

5. And that's an understatement. He's batsh*t crazy. eom

[City Lights]

3. Yeah Billo, that's the ticket.

:eyes:

4. Microbes? Jesus. fucking. christ.

:eyes: :puke:

6. Poor poor David Gregory..he

gets it from both sides, don't he?

IMO, he's a corporate good ol boy and the bushits hate 'im because he dared to ask a few questions in his life as member of the lazy elite pack of presscorp steno-pods.

Why didn't Body Odor ask about Helen Thomas? HAHA..cause he wouldn't dare to touch that with 10 ft falafel?

7. Wipe out billo with his loofah!

:evilgrin:

8. Making outrageous comments like that

is probably a strategy to help with his ratings.

[Judi Lynn]

10. Ratings with the criminally insane, no doubt! n/t

[Judi Lynn]

9. He would REALLY have a problem with a press corps doing an adequate job of covering

the White House adequately! These people have been lying down on the job since _Bush's campaign in 2000. He's had them in his pocket from the first, as in completely overlooking massive problems in his history, while savaging Al Gore (and later John Kerry), twisting the truth, and ripping him to shreds.

He has been blessed his people got control of the media so long ago. To claim they're a threat to _Bush is to sound hallucinatory.

11. Bill O'LIELLY is truly one of the most vile scum sucking pigs on this earth!

:puke:

[Botany]

12. Bill O is way out of line here

The press corp showed Tony Snow tons of respect and kindness about his cancer.

[SeattleGirl]

13. No Billo, you don't bloviate. You spew hatred. Maybe YOU are

the one who needs to be wiped out, you fucker.

[Ishoutandscream2]

14. Here's a man, quite possibly dying of cancer

And Billo, in his own twisted way, makes it about Billo. A true narcissist.
