SNOW: You meant contemptuous as opposed to contemptible I think.

Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark....

Tony Snow put Helen Thomas in her place. I'm not sure under which rock he put her, but he got the job done.

"Arrogant, morally repugnant, cheating, shifty."

Helen appears to be describing her own moral character.

I wish the admin woudl apply some strategery here. When anti-admin presstitutes ask loaded questions, the answer ought to be "we'll look into that and get back to you, next."

Rumor has it Helens face might replace the old man of the mountain on the New Hampshire quarter.

I find Helen Thomas contemptible.

I'm trying to ensure that I never find Helen Thomas at all.

QUESTION: Why did the president pick a man who is so contemptible of the public servants in Washington to be his domestic adviser, saying, People in Washington are morally repugnant, cheating, shifty human beings. Why did he...
QUESTION: Why would he pick such a man to be a domestic adviser?

WHAT SNOW SHOULD HAVE SAID: Helen, you've said far worse about Republicans, but we still let you in here. Why the double standard?

Well--My theory on that is that at some early point in her employment, the editors in charge (her bosses) desperately searched for a way to get her out of the office, out of their hair and above all, out of their sight. The solution--Voilla (to quote that French speaking sometimes drunk when calling IMUS NBC-news WH twit), get Helen permanently over at the WH where her presence would sulley the view but for a more limited sector of DC. Once there-would any of her bosses actually let her back into the headquarters--no way. So she persists on her permanent WH assignment.

"Morally repugnant, cheating, shifty.." Sounds like a pretty good description of inside-the-beltway types to me.

" Why did the president pick a man who is so contemptible of the public servants in Washington to be his domestic adviser, saying, People in Washington are morally repugnant, cheating, shifty human beings. "

And that is wrong how?
Washington, especially the White House Press, is full of low down snakes and other kinds of vermin.
Karl Zinmeister is right on the money.
IMHO President Bush has picked exactly the right man for the job.
He sounds like a no-nonsense, plain talking, no BS clone of John Bolton to me.

Snow is wittier than David Letterman et al. About Letterman, my assessment of him is the same as Bryant Gumbel's and when I agree with Bryant Gumbel.....!

Here's a secret, don't tell anyone - I just looked it up in Merriam-Webster's Online.
