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

WOO HOO!

This is great news! Are you keeping the same ping list and just changing the name to: Tony Snow, Live from the White House!

[Txsleuth]

Ya got me....I asked the same thing...but, it has been suggested that it was "leaked" to CNN...

I think there is a lot of the media that are friends regardless of what network they work for...so I am sure the gossip has been hot and heavy for the week or so that this has been known about.

These people all are in the same social circle...and word does get around.

If it is so, I'm delighted and wish him well!

It will be fun to watch Dick G. dance around trying to throw his jabs. He got away with it with Scott, but it will be a different game altogether with Tony.

Go get 'em, Tiger. We're down by a touchdown early in the 4th Quarter.

For us, For America, you will redefine the position, Sir.

[brazzaville]

Good evening.

I'm happy for W and the rest of us but I'm sorry for Tony.

Don't take anything off of them, Mr. Snow.

Well that is good news.

Makes me feel better that someone can explain the complexity of the Bush administration.

Without belaboring the point, Tony, I predicted that you would take this position.

a man must involve himself in the great issues of his time
at the risk of being judged by history not to have lived

Seems that I got this one right. ;^) - Best of luck to you, sir.

Great news! Conratulations Tony, and don't be afraid to put that twerp David Gregory in his place!

It was on CNN top of this hour. They led off with it as "breaking news." ?????!

[ilovew]

The link to their website is wrong but if you go to cnn.com, they have a link under politics. It's on their website and they are reporting it.

[CAluvdubya]

Ahem! Well somebody forgot to close a tag or two. (sheepishly walks away)

Many of us are being a bit skeptical, given that CNN is the "source."

I am sorry, but this smells like a Kristol maneuver. Why would he do this?

1. Jealousy of Tony Snow

2. Opportunity to make the White House distrustful of Tony from the get-go.

3. Opportunity to play the big cheese.

4. A way to stick it to Roger AIles, who has never given him his own show.

I bet Kristol was sucking up to people in legal and personnel at Fox, trying to find out about Tony's contract negotiations or whether or not the FBI had contacted them about vetting his background.

You see, I KNOW how Kristol works. He is like Iago in Otohello skulking around the halls of Congress and the restaurants of the Beltway, picking up little tidbits of information and dropping poisonous comments where they will do the most harm.

Kristol. Ptui.

Leaks can be annoying, but then again, journalists like myself live for them.

I am glad this president has done a good job normally of actually having staffers who won't leak, however. It has been remarkable.

[Fudd Fan]

WOW...
I keep reading things that make me angry I didn't watch Fox News Sunday yesterday!

But Mr.FF wanted to watch a movie and we don't get more than 2 evenings a week to do that... *SIGH*

Anyway that's an awesome point. I wouldn't trust Kristol as far as I could throw a grand piano.

[CAluvdubya]

You paint a very believable picture of lil billy!

[jazusamo]

LOL...A little drastic but funny.

[Bahbah]

Half a dozen libs took the gas pipe already. Then ... This is Drill, This is a Drill!!!

LOL. Most enjoyable post.

[Fudd Fan]

If this is true, it will surely bump up the CSPAN ratings, and that's just from us SNOW-Flakes!
