Agree, Tony was Brilliant.

Thank God! we finally have someone there to deal effectively with the likes of that major league CLYMER David Gregory. And Helen the Troll

Tar Baby is from the Uncle Remus stories. Br'er Fox makes a baby out of tar to try to catch Br'er Rabbit. You hug the tar baby and get stuck in the tar.

I think they even had it in the Disney movie "Song Of The South." Check Wikipedia for more.

[HonestConservative]

He was spectacular!

Excellent, fabulous or

THE BOMB!

congrats, Tony.

WHODAMAN?

[Carolinamom]

I heard them too, but to date I've not been disappointed. Living in a rural area as I do, cable was unavailable. The cost per month is $54.

[stevestras]

"Who was the boob asking about contraception? What an idiot!"

Q: Does the President believe in contraception?
A: Only when talking to the parents of a reporter.

[LibertyLee]

C-Span Radio reporting that Venezuela may sell their F-16s to IRAN! We should bomb them first!

[FreedomPoster]

>>In the new SNOW era, I will forever refer to these as press floggings.

I loved watching his ability to give an answer that was both appropriate and dismissive, to idiot questions, and move quickly to the next questioner.

FOR THOSE INTERESTED: VP CHENEY ON RUSH LIMBAUGH AT 1:30 EDT

Thanks for the heads up!!

[dotnetfellow]

Yeah, time to flip back from CSPAN over to WABC.

[Chena]

Thank you, IamConservative. I was wondering about that.

[FreedomPoster]

It's probably less than an hour a year for me. Make sure you get the big dish.

[JerseyDvl]

Ok, it's not offensive at all. I have to get my mind out of the gutter.

tar baby
n.
A situation or problem from which it is virtually impossible to disentangle oneself.

[retrokitten]

But at the same time not condescending. I don't know how he does it.

[Clint N. Suhks]

We did have a ball, did we not?

Can't even put it into words. That was so awesome I can feel Bush's poll's rising as we speak.

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks for the heads up! Rush was muted for Tony!

[TruthNtegrity]

That was the crazy, nerdy Lester Kinsolving.

He's got to be the worst jerk in the Press Rm, includnig Helen. She's nasty, not a jerk, if you get my drift.

[teddyballgame]

"Tony may just singled handed help bring back up W's poll numbers."

Just what I was thinking. What an awesome Press Conference. The Snowman was it total CONTROL. I hate to say it but he articulates the President's view much, much better than the President. I guess that's why he's been hired. He had me coming around on the immigration plan.

[dinasour]

We did it.

It worked.

Woo hoo.

That was awesome.

[Political Junkie Too]

That's why I posted upthread that I'm waiting for the MSM to make it into a racist comment, if for no other reason than to knock Snow back into a defensive posture out of spite.

-PJ

[Bahbah]

Yes, we did. I still feel like he belongs to us...or we to him...oh, never mind :)
