Akkam's RazorI don't do personal that often, which is why I've never become a D-tier internet celebrity.

Man, the Bushies are getting weak – they're telegraphing their punches WAAAAYYYY before they actually take a swing…

snow job

An effort to deceive, overwhelm, or persuade with insincere talk, especially flattery.

The entire presentation was a complete snow job.

So Tony Snow is going to be the maverick spokesperson?  I think not.  His job isn't to criticize, it's to cheerlead, and anybody who thinks otherwise will be sorely mistaken.

It speaks volumes as to the man's integrity, as well as the fact that the lack of said integrity is a perfect credential for the job, given a recent history of Bush criticisms to being his number one verbal fellator.  I find it hard that the man will be able to reconcile his personal beliefs and the requirements of the job, given comments like this in the Jewish World Review regarding the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy:

Let's be practical: In our business, we thrive when we tell you things you didn't know and need to. If we spout party lines or distort the facts, people will catch on and we'll fail.

They are probably also hoping that the noise over his appointment will distract people from the day-to-day incompetence of the administration.  The press and Democrats would be well advised to ignore who Tony Snow is and instead focus on the context of what he's saying, and ignore all of his previous on-air commentary.  Let the blogging pundits eviscerate Snow based on his "journalistic" legacy, and let his public record challenge that of the breathless conservative whores who herald the Administrations accomplishments.

They might also hope that the press may be gentler to one of their own than they were to poor Flounder (Scott McClellan) – the press needs to realize that the conservative noise machine, be they print, radio, or televesion will exclusively get all scoops, and it's high time they start reporting truthiness and not be content in being FOXNEWS-lite.  There's only room for one, and that jobs taken.
