RE: Tony Snow.
I watched a rerun of the WH Press Briefing earlier tonight..and I really didn't see anything different with him...maybe fatigue, mental and/or physical.
Remember he is having to take a crash course in the US's relationships with all of these countries..that we weren't having any news about for a while...like Lebanon, Cuba, etc.
I agree with your take.
Andy Card said something recently in an interview that the biggest thing he took away from his job was the fact that so much information was made available to him.
As prepared as Tony was for the job, it still must be shocking to read that high security intelligence and to sit in on some of those discussions. Especially this week!
