Tony Snow is back and better than ever! Tony's guests and topics on today's Tony Snow Show include:
More Information Needed
Many who object to the port deal are concerned that they were not in the decision-making loop. Should more people be included in decisions of this nature? Maryland Governor Bob Ehrlich (R) weighs in.
The Facts Win
After sifting through mountains of paper and doing acres of research, the port story doesn't seem like a big issue. But Tony will address any concerns.
The Zen of Bode
Why does Bode Miller insist he doesn't care about winning medals at the Olympics? What is he even doing at the Olympics? Fox News Contributor Tiki Barber thinks he knows the answer.

"Woof" is used in broadcasting to say "stop," "that's enough" or to mark a specific point in time
-- which is what is done in this case. "Tony's show starts in 3 minutes: WOOF!" Means in 3 minutes from-- NOW!
When you speak w Karl, PLEASE relay some of the following to him:
1. As you said, the WH needs to get out in-front of issues and get on the offense and quit playing defense.
2. Scott McClellan seems like a nice guy, but as many of us on FR have said for months, he is not what the Prez needs as the main communicator of info. The Prez needs someone who is polite, but stands up better to the WH Press Corpse, perhaps w a little humor like Ari. Scott's deer-in the headlights look doesn't help. The Pres needs someone who will put the press in their place.
3. The Prez has the bully-pulpit and he should start using it more - - they should look at old tapes of Pres Regan (and even Bubba) - GWB may never be the great communicator RWR was, but he can get out in front of issues and take them directly to the American people.
4. It appears they need to hire new people in the PR office, because IMHO, who they have now, isn't doing a very good job.
5. Get someone in their communications office to monitor FR. If they only read the Tony Snow Thread and the Sunday Morning Talk Show threads and listened what was being said, they'd be waaaaay ahead of the game.
6. Get the congresscritters involved more - -they appear to have HUGH egos and feel the need to oversee the executive branch - bring them in BEFORE something hits and get them onboard. Make sure they have the facts and a couple of succinct talking points that can be repeated.
Thanks for your GREAT work Tony!
Don't go to far, you'll miss Karl.
Yes! It's like a ripe plum thrown in the Dem's lap. They can pander to their underinformed consituents in a big way. Trouble is, so is the GOP. I just hope and pray that the public sees through the fog or this cheap political trick could turn into a real disaster for this country.
"That is a symptom of our times."
....and also the source of my major complaint with the zombie media: The turkeys are so busy pushing the latest story line, they wouldn't recognize a fact if it jumped up and bit 'em on the arse.
I really don't give a rip if my newspaper's staff is entirely tie-dyed, card carrying screaming communists or charter members of the John Birch Society; They start presenting their personal opinions at the expense of going out and gathering FACT, and I'll drop them both like a bad habit.
Which, BTW, is something that I've practiced over the years from coast to coast.
Great post.
p.s. maybe this should be discussed in a private discussion rather than 'on air'.
. My opinion is that Scott McClellan needs to be replaced as a spokesman for the White House. He appears to easily intimidated and too uninformed; he does NOT instill confidence in me.
Thanks, I'm not. Tony in my right ear is far more edifying than Carl Levin, the Bloviator from Michigan.
Karl Rove was on Hannity yesterday, and was anything but convincing. I know, I know, I'm one of the "hair-on-fire" guys...
You are right, sofadude. I am praying that he has done some work on this since then. We shall see.
Morning sofaman!
Hopefully Karl brought a fire extinguisher with him and can take care of that hair on fire problem!
Which is exactly why I see so much caterwauling on FR about the terrible WH PR machine.
What I hear is, "This WH never tells us what we are supposed to be saying, and now we look like fools!" It always comes back to the same tired argument.
Indeed it is a rude awakening to find Americans are not able to do this themselves (thanks dems).
The main thing for me before anything else is our security problems that have to be straightened out.
There aren't many choices here as far as the deal... Maersk (Danes) only ship to their own ports here for exports to us. China's better?, doesn't matter... they didn't want it. If we had a company that could do it, different story.
As far as holding up shipments, the unions do a great job of that themselves... The unions didn't even want barcodes to track shipments for the love of James Earl Jones.
We might as well stop taking the oil too. They're not our only source though... oops, Venezuela...
I wish there were more options.
Even supporting the deal, I agree with you. I was listening in my car on the way home. I think Karl can answer for the PR aspects as opposed to the security aspects of the deal. Unless he's gotten a cram course overnight, which is always possible, he knows media, not security. Part of the problem was that Sean didn't throw him a line he could get a hook into. I think Tony will do better.
Doesn't Levin understand that Congress crafted the legislation which governs how these deals are negotiated? I.e., Secretly.
Sean though cut him off and wouldn't let him talk. BOR had an attorney on last night and she was interesting but BOR kept cutting her off.
Can you believe Levin! This shows Presidential disdain for congress, it's a violation of checks and balances. FGS, it was done in accordance with their own law.
