Breaking on CNN, Tony plans to take the job at the White House.

[buckeyesrule]

Hey Helen Thomas...Do you smell what the Tony-man is cooking?

[A CA Guy]

Great news, that is one for history and serving his country for sure.

Tony has a good control of the facts and will make Hellen Thomas look like a big stupid fat ugly Middle Eastern liberal.

Wait, that IS what she is.

[newzjunkey]

Does this make him the first Freeper in the White House? ;)

[Txsleuth]

GACK....now Greta is IN Durham, walking the streets re: the Duke case...

I cannot believe her show gets the ratings that it does...

BTW...I wonder what Griff and his other workers at Fox Radio will do for jobs now...????

"It's not clear that we have verification as yet, but I'm thinking it's so. I'm not surprised, really. If I had a talent the President thought would be useful, I would do anything I could. I couldn't say no."

When the President calls....

[potlatch]

Tony Snow ping.

[Bahbah]

Me either!

I think that there are lots of us who love this country that way. Not a sacrifice, really. An honor. Some are risking their lives.

[Aggie Mama]

Outstanding!!!!

[Sloth]

Wow... now that is good news.

[Romanov]

Nice, but what does that mean for his radio show?!?! I'd rather here him on the radio with more "free reign" than at the WH press conferences. Having said that, I am looking forward to that first exchange with Helen Thomas!!

[Tanniker Smith]

I wonder who's taking over the Tony Snow show.

[rlmorel]

"...but I wouldn't take the pay-cut just because the President called on me..."

I absolutely would...if I thought it would help the Administration, and by extension, the country.

[swheats]

Makes you wonder why Clinton would have chosen Lockhart. That guy always appeared as though he was involved in a tradegy. Deer in the headlights for sure.

[BlessedBeGod]

WooHoo!!!!!!!

[bnelson44]

Cooper asked: "Is this a done deal?" She replied: "it's a matter of crossing the t's and dotting the i's."

Then it is not a done deal

[Christian4Bush]

If FNC doesn't carry the WH Presser it's an all out FNC boycott! :)

Doesn't one of the C-SPINs usually carry it?

[STARWISE]

I don't see any news confirming this ... the CNN link at the top is broken .. is this confirmed in print?

[operation clinton cleanup]

The CNN link seems to be down.. I'm not popping champagne corks yet... I want to see a Drudge flashing siren!

That is exactly what I thought when I read the headline. I really liked Ari Fleischer even though in some ways I just did think he had the ability to hoist the media on its own petard. McClellan just never had the polish or desire to defeat the media whores at their own game. He always appeared to be in over his head and just had no clue how to flip Helen Thomas the bird in a good natured manner.

Tony Snow is a totally different animal. Physically attractive, articulate, well spoken, quick witted and not one take on unlimited press b.s. The best thing is that this has to be a perfect storm for the rapidly facing extinction MSM. Bad enough he is a conservative, but he's from Fox and he knows their games and won't hesitate roast the b-stards. This is going to be so much fun to watch.

They just won't be able to intimidate him and he will rip them new ones always with a smile on his face.
