LOL! Now how am I supposed to survive from 8am to 11am? I am a SNOWFLAKE. Good luck Tony. Bubye Helen. LOL!

[defenderSD]

Good luck Tony. I'm sure you'll do a great job. If you ever need assistance with research on any subject, just ask for some help here at FR.

Snow Flakes, you know it's amazing to think how we all joked around, shooting the breeze and discussing the issues of the day with the Snowman taking part while he was on national air.

Now it appears that he's gonna be the Press Secretary for President George W. Bush.

Man!

All I can say is that this is sweet. And it was a blast.

C'mon Snow Flakes! Tip your hats to the Snowman! Now we'd know the man sitting next to the man, sitting next to the man, sitting next to the doggone man.

What a ride!

This is a ch__ch. What's missing?

Congrats and God bless Tony Snow !

[Lovergirl]

See? We can't take you anywhere. LOL!

[BitDrifter]

Thank the maker. Tony is my favorite conservative personality and I can't wait till he takes over for Scott. I didn't allow myself to get my hopes up when I first read he was being considered, but now they are quite high.

[Lovergirl]

I was just kidding, btw. :-P

[sneakers]

Just woke up to this wonderful news! Yes!

[Caipirabob]

My personal coice for White House spokesman (although he's dead...)

While handling a question from Helen Thomas:

"DID UPI MEAN TO SEND A REPORTER BUT GOT A #$^%ING ORANGUTAN INSTEAD?!? AHHHH! AHHH! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

[metesky]

I like Tony and wish him well, but IMO we should have one of these guys or at least someone with their personality to handle the presstitutes;

[Cincinna]

Great news!
I guess that will put an end to Tony's postings at FR for a while.
The President has made a brilliant pick, and could not be better served.

[dinasour]

Tears of joy.

Happy, but a little sad.

Best wishes Tony, and we have your 6.

George Stephanopoulos was the first White House Press Secretary in the Clinton White House.

He lasted a very short time. His performance was very amateurish, and he looked (back then) like a snot nosed kid who was trying to wear wire rimmed glasses to look more distinguished.

The liberal MSM started to eat him. Not long after, he was "kicked upstairs" to be Communications Director and "Counselor" to the President.

Hillary was rumored to behind the shake up. Dee Dee was not much of an improvement, and was canned herself after getting one DWI charge for driving wasted out of her mind going the wrong way on a one way street in downtown DC.

At a White House press briefing, sometime in the near future.

 

Announcer: "The daily briefing will start in 30 seconds. Woof."

 

David Gregory: "This is David Gregory of NBC News. I have a question about the Administration's..."

 

Surfer Boy: "Stay on the line. You'll be on just after Bubba Podunk from Midlands and Dweezil Moonbeam from San Francisco, if we don't run into a break."

 

David Gregory: "What do mean A BREAK? This is a WHITE HOUSE PRESS CONFERENCE!"

 

Surfer Boy: "It's a hard break. I can't stop it, the computer just does it."

 

David Gregory: "I OBJECT! THIS NEVER HAPPENED WITH SCOTT MCCLELLAN!"

 

Surfer Boy: "Don't yell at me. I'm just a producer. If you don't like the rules, call the boss."

 

David Gregory: "George Bush?"

 

Surfer Boy: "Who did you think, Miss Beazley?"

 

David Gregory: "THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS! I'M CALLING RANDI RHODES!"...

 

David Gregory: "AND I'M NEVER GOING TO VOTE FOR GEORGE BUSH AGAIN!" <CLICK>

 

Surfer Boy: "I'm sorry, Tony. I lost David, again".

 

Tony: "No matter. I see here that NBC has laid off its entire news division. The NBC Nightly News is being recast as the News Hour with Maury Povich and Newsweek is being absorbed by The Onion.

 

Surfer Boy: "He'll do all right. I hear that Warner Bros. is doing a full Broadway production of the Loony Tunes rendition of Wager's Ring Cycle. He's been, um, mentioned as the lead candidate for the role of Elmer Fudd"

Tony: "Next up is Bubba from Midlands".

 

Bubba: "Good morning, Tony. It's great to talk to you again. I have a question about the Administration's..."
