It will take some time, but I think things are changing.
And, may I point out, that whatever the WH puts out isn't necessarily covered by the MSM. The MSM is very good at squelching stories that would support the President.
But it has been a wonderful move and no matter how long he stays his performance there will cinch any job he is inclined to take. He has been stellar and has the "drivers" all doing 55 or less and issues speeding tickets at the slightest sign of a "speeder",or "drunken driver".
I think our president performed his own Britt Hume caliber smackdown of his "handlers" by hiring Tony and turning over the communications strategy in large part to him. It was a very public declaration that the "rose garden" strategy of the "professional politicians" was a bust. Dubya brought in a grown up and gave him his marching orders: "Fix It!"
Tony is, indeed, a brilliant choice and he is performing beyond anyone's expectations... except ours, since we always knew just how good he was.
Miss M - Your post and mine to Rome2000 crossed in mail. I think NOW would be a fine time to strike while the media is stunned by NYTimes overreaching, the WH and people screams of Treason, and most of media are looking for a rock to crawl under. I believe WH could get on a lot of shows now. Those who do not wish to be seen as part of NYTimes cabal would say fine, bending over to look fair. So we bring on Cheney, Condi, Rummy, Karen Hughes, Mary Matelin, Liddy Dole, Diana Irey (Murtha's opponent) and spread the Gospel: Freed 40 Million in Afgan and Iraq, more to do on WOT, maybe WE feature the killed troops as HEROS instead of allowing the left to endlessly portray them as victims of the evil Bush administration.
