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

Well, herre I am, late to the thread again. Until I hear the announcement from Presidenet Bush with Tony standing beside him, I am taking a wait anad see attitude.

I have been burned once too often from CNN, who is not above putting this out to make it look like a leak from the White House or Tony.

Nope. I am waiting. Of course, I would be extremely happy if it turns out to be true.

[STARWISE]

Then the title of this thread is wrong.

[maggief]

Yes, usually. I still want to see how FNC handles the WH pressers.

"Is anyone monitoring DU? You know they're going ape sh!t."

Hi rintense!
I went over there in a bio-hazard suit about an hour ago. It was surprisingly calm. Of course the foul language and invectives were there, but they weren't going bonkers.

[Lady Jag]

Excellent decision on both sides. Thanks for the news.

[MinorityRepublican]

What was wrong with Scott McClellan?

I don't always watch the news so forgive me for the ignorance.

[Bahbah]

I would PAY to work with President Bush and Dick Cheney

And you would be a huge asset. I am series about this.

[DCPatriot]

I'll believe it when it's on Drudge before I believe CNN.

[MinorityRepublican]

Does this mean that Tony Snow is no longer allowed to post on Free Republic?

[A Citizen Reporter]

CNN NOW!

[rwfromkansas]

It just got leaked somehow assuming this is correct.

I doubt Tony will make any comments on it until the WH announces it, which at this point, may be tomorrow.

[Miss Marple]

So would I (pay to work with the President and Vice President). In fact, I would pay cash money to sit in on a couple of meetings, just to see what goes on.

I also would pay to work with Karl Rove. Maybe he would show me how to operate the hurricane machine!

[Romanov]

Dang! I imagine he took his health into consideration when he decided to take the job. Of course, now all the Rats will be screaming how this "proves" Fox is on the WH payroll.

It will be interesting to see how the WH reporters react to him. He's kind of a hard person to "beat up" on, because a.) he's pretty damn smart, and b.) he never comes off as a blowhard.

I wouldn't mind seeing O'Reilly do one WH press conference, just one, nothing more. ;)

[Fudd Fan]

CNN going with this as "breaking news" right now.

[Txsleuth]

-;)

[Donna Lee Nardo]

EXCELLENT! Guess Tony Snow won't be posting/lurking here anymore. Hopefully his new staff will though. :)

Hats off to Tony! Congrats!

[STARWISE]

What a weird answer ...

I was responding to your statement that you wouldn't take a paycut for a WH job, and then you twist that into your military service (for which I thank you), but that wasn't what the discussion was, was it?

[Pro-Bush]

Great news indeed!
