"Nice and Collegial and Relaxed:" Four Scenes From Tony Snow's First Meet with the Press
Funny, that's not what anyone else was saying.
Josh Marshall is a leftist blogger and creep.
BTTT! :-)
But he did post a transcript.
No one else did, not even Whitehouse.gov
Credit deserved, where credit is due.
Creeps get good scoops, too.
QUESTION: How are you going to make this administration more credible?
TONY SNOW: I'm not going to answer questions about credibility, other than to say that I'm eager to be here and I'm happy to be working with you.
QUESTION: Are you ever going to -- always going to tell the truth?
LOL. Talk about a freudian slip.
Double check anything from that one. If he tells you it's hot in August, verify.
Good advice. The gang here will give due scrutiny.
Believe me, if I had a better source, I'd use it.
I've been looking for a transcript for days. I just found it by accident. Needless to say, I don't surf lefty blogs much.
Good grief, the press asks questions on a 2nd grade level.
My experience with 2nd graders is that the kids are far more polite and tons less inclined to whine.
Helen Thomas is such an idiot....
Truthfully, I wish that Tony had done a better job on his first press conference. It was pretty embarrasing considering we are trying to change things within the whitehouse especially communication. Now the news was all about how horrible that Tony did and we could have used this as a positive story on the "new" start of the President's final stretch to 2006 and beyond instead of it all about Tony. I have faith that he will be prepared for his next press conference I hope.
I am certain there are ground rules of things Tony would like to say vs. things he can say. Things will smooth out...the way I see it, he was trying to be congenial by doing it in his office and the herd didn't want to be congenial so they'll go back to the smelly dump again.
These reporters make chimpanzees look polite...
Did anyone learn anything important from this miserable performance?
Just be thankful that I'm not in Tony's place.
I've mellowed a lot over the past thirty years or so, but you'd still be cleaning up teeth and blood stains after I heard a fraction of the crap those clowns dish out.
>Did anyone learn anything important from this miserable performance?
I don't see it as a miserable performance. I see the press going out its way to portray an informal gathering as such.
