I hope Tony's 'gonna be wearing safety goggles... those cobra's spit! But seriously... I think his professional demeanor will showcase them as the garbage they are... in the eyes of the viewers. He's a class act!
This was posted on "Hotline Blog". It makes me feel a little better to know that Tony's not just going to be a mouthpiece but that he will have input!

Snow In May?
A week after White House press secretary Scott McClellan suddenly resigned, and -- nothing.
Late last week, White House chief of staff Josh Bolten directly (firmly but politely) asked senior administration officials to stop unburdening themselves to the process-hungry Washington press corps. That explains, in part, why speculative chatter has diminished.
In the meantime, Fox Newser Tony Snow is said by Republicans familiar with the negotiations to have asked for guaranteed access to the president's ear and to an unusually large degree of latitude to reconfigure the WH press operation. That pleases the new chief of staff, who wants to relegitimize the press podium in the Brady briefing room.
But Snow, not content to be a herald, also wants near-complete control over what he says from the podium, be it bromides, platitudes or substance. That would encroach on the broad portfolio of responsibilities that Dan Bartlett claims for himself.
As of this morning, Snow's colleagues at the White House haven't been formally told that he's coming -- or if he's coming, when the announcement will out.
