I just heard on the John Gibson radio program that Tony Snow has been offered McClellan's job at the White House. He has not made a decision but will discuss it on his radio program tomorrow.
I didn't see this posted. Just posting what I heard. No link.
God Bless You, Tony. Your FReeper FRiends back you 100% no matter what you decide to do.
I think it would be wonderful if Tony took this job.
I would subscribe to the WH daily briefings on PPV if either of them replace Scott, which might offset any pay cuts they might have to endure......There are a few good possibilities. Snow would be great, and I can comfort myself that Rumsfeld already gets opportunities aplenty to verbally (deservedly) smack the press around.
I loved Ari.. wonder if Tony can be as tough?
My ignorance is showing. lol
Thanks toomanygrasshoppers.
Tony would be tough, but he would always be professional and polite.
Say it ain't so! I hafta have my Snowman in the morning.........gets me started for the day. :(.......(then again, Tony wouldn't let em' get away with the kind of nonsense the White House Press whores are so good at).
If true, it must mean his long-term cancer recovery prognosis is very good.
Can the vision you now hold in maturity be communicated through the confines of the job restraints?
I know your country is important and your skills are now honed -- but can your family stand the pay cut?
The only thing that I know is that you could sell that conservative vision of our country like few others can if the actions of the administration will let you do it.
Our best wishes to you.
I join my fellow FReepers in urging you to take the job, if only to increase C-Span ratings in the short term. I've got a crisp $100.00 for you, the first time you make David Gregory squeal like a girl.
Well...I think that Tony should put his "money where his mouth is"....LOL
Tony, you always have a LOT of advice for the Bush and his administration...and this sounds like the way for YOU to show them how it is done....
AMEN!!!!!!
LOL! I think Tony's big concern would be the time factor...
he was JUST talking about having the time to be with his family.....
I think Tony could serve our country well, but I also think that Tony loves being available to his family...
I am praying for him, and I know he will do the right thing..
Ya made me laugh!!!
*Ahem* I didn't get a ping either. sniff, gone AND forgotten! LOL
LOL!!!!
NO, but Tony just confirmed the story without confirming....
;-)
Thx for the ping.
It surely would take your incredible insight and expertise out of '06 AND '08, and that would be a loss. You would be a fantastic voice for the White House, and I also imagine the travel obligations would be challenging. But, when you add up the columns of pro and con, I'm imagining that, other than a call to the clergy, there can't be a greater call to service than one from the President, and if it's meant to be, that's the call you'll hear in your heart.
As if that would ever happen. Maybe in a parallel universe.
Whoooooaaaa! Thanks for the ping mo.
Tony, friend, I'm praying for you. And will support any decision you make because I know you are making it prayerfully and with careful consideration of all factors too.
Here's a thought. Maybe if the actual press secretary job doesn't seem to be the ticket, you could hire yourself out as a consultant. :^)
Seriously, you'd be a great asset to the WH. God knows they need help with communications...
Perhaps he couldn't post here...but that doesn't mean he couldn't read the threads on the site,...and maybe get freepmail!!
