"true conservatives will have no part in it."

How would you know what a true conservatist would do? You appear to be a Republican do or die loyalist, not a conservative.

"Or you can head over to DU where they will always appreciate your Bush-bashing."

Someone died and made you boss? I see another Republican 'at all cost' has surfaced. Being critical of our president's poor decisions from time to time is MY right...

I for one think that if it ever comes to that Tony could have such a field day with the Washington Press Corps. I'm talking just 'over the line' Bulworth type going out of business rant on the lot of them. Hit the MSM, but call out punks by name, esp Gregory and Thomas. Next day, resign and return to Radio.

What he also might do is a burn-the-house-down kind of book about the professionally incompetent propagandists who call themselves journalists in that town, with the bullseye for the first flame thrown on that hideous drunk Helen Thomas's lipstick smeared mug. (Someone who cares about that poor old woman has to tell her that people with DT's should hang up the Revlon. Permanantly. In fact, there oughtta be a law.)

Tony has been posting on FR for many years under the name Tony Snow or TonySnow. Not very original, but his posts are always interesting.

God bless Tony and his family. This had to have been a very hard decision for him.

"Wanna tell me if the link goes to an article with the same title?"

Wouldn't it be simpler if you just show everyone how to post a link to a tv show, rather than hijacking the thread?

Drudge who? *wink*

The honor is well-deserved. Congratulations, Tony! (But can you charm Helen? My guess is yes! :)

No, it shows yours because of the fact you didn't take in the context of the fact many of the comments were referring to their lack of knowledge of what this forum is truly about and were spouting their belief on what should and should not be said or written.

You have to actually click back on the "reply to" button a few more times to get the true gist of the conversation.

Juan needs your reassurance. He's afraid you'll have to repress your personality.

Strange how all of Tony Snow's comments are being purged from FR. I see no logical purpose in that. It makes FR look like stooges of the RNC.

"Being critical of our president's poor decisions from time to time is MY right..."

And strangely enough it seems to be Tony Snow's too! These are comments made by him ABOUT GWB! It stuns me he's becoming Press Secretary after having made these past statements:

– Bush has “lost control of the federal budget and cannot resist the temptation to stop raiding the public fisc.” [3/17/06]

– “George W. Bush and his colleagues have become not merely the custodians of the largest government in the history of humankind, but also exponents of its vigorous expansion.” [3/17/06]

– “President Bush distilled the essence of his presidency in this year’s State of the Union Address: brilliant foreign policy and listless domestic policy.” [2/3/06]

– “George Bush has become something of an embarrassment.” [11/11/05]

– Bush “has a habit of singing from the Political Correctness hymnal.” [10/7/05]

– “No president has looked this impotent this long when it comes to defending presidential powers and prerogatives.” [9/30/05]

– Bush “has given the impression that [he] is more eager to please than lead, and that political opponents can get their way if they simply dig in their heels and behave like petulant trust-fund brats, demanding money and favor — now!” [9/30/05]

– “When it comes to federal spending, George W. Bush is the boy who can’t say no. In each of his three years at the helm, the president has warned Congress to restrain its spending appetites, but so far nobody has pushed away from the table mainly because the president doesn’t seem to mean what he says.” [The Detroit News, 12/28/03]

– “The president doesn’t seem to give a rip about spending restraint.” [The Detroit News, 12/28/03]

– “Bush, for all his personal appeal, ultimately bolstered his detractors’ claims that he didn’t have the drive and work ethic to succeed.” [11/16/00]

– “Little in the character of demeanor of Al Gore or George Bush makes us say to ourselves: Now, this man is truly special! Little in our present peace and prosperity impels us to say: Give us a great man!” [8/25/00]

– “George W. Bush, meanwhile, talks of a pillowy America, full of niceness and goodwill. Bush has inherited his mother’s attractive feistiness, but he also got his father’s syntax. At one point last week, he stunned a friendly audience by barking out absurd and inappropriate words, like a soul tortured with Tourette’s.” [8/25/00]

– “He recently tried to dazzle reporters by discussing the vagaries of Congressional Budget Office economic forecasts, but his recitation of numbers proved so bewildering that not even his aides could produce a comprehensible translation. The English Language has become a minefield for the man, whose malaprops make him the political heir not of Ronald Reagan, but Norm Crosby.” [8/25/00]

– “On the policy side, he has become a classical dime-store Democrat. He gladly will shovel money into programs that enjoy undeserved prestige, such as Head Start. He seems to consider it mean-spirited to shut down programs that rip-off taxpayers and mislead supposed beneficiaries.” [8/25/00]

And, unfortunately, it is highly unlikely Tony will be posting here for his duration as Press Sec. Hopefully he returns when his time of service is completed. :-) On the bright side, we'll have a Freeper with the President's ear. Pretty cool.

Is that why Tony Snow's account on FR is now banned?
