Fox News Radio host Tony Snow said Thursday that he had yet to make up his mind about accepting a possible offer to succeed Scott McClellan as White House press secretary, saying his family would have "veto power" over any decision.
"I will tell you what I'm doing when I have a clue [myself]," Snow told his radio audience. "That does not happen to describe my state of mind right now. I don't have a clue so I'm not going to give you any news scoops."
Snow didn't deny a report that he had talked with the White House about the job and noted that if he decided to accept, they would make the announcement first.
The former speechwriter for Bush 41 weighed the pros and cons on the air.
"The most attractive thing about an offer from the White House at a time like this is not the glory of being treated like a piñata by Helen Thomas, but instead, you've got to put your money where your mouth is."
But Snow said the most fundamental consideration was his family.

Wouldn't that headache of a job mean a pay cut for Tony?

Tony, if the little voice inside says "Don't do it," then perhaps you ought to listen. Notwithstanding, I can't think of anyone better for the job - outside of Mark Levin, that is... :-)

This guy just recovered from cancer and has a successful career. Why would you want to spend time you'd normally have with your family looking at Helen Thomas every day?

I think Tony Snow would make mice meat out of Dick Gregory and Helen Thomas.

I think he'll say no. Megan Kendall, perhaps?

I didn't think about the cancer or Helen Thomas, hey aren't they about the same?
I guess Tony would be well advised to decline.

Tony would do a fabulous job, but I understand him wanting to think about his family first. It would be a difficult job to undertake.
LOL at his comment about the "lovely" HT!

I wouldn't mind Dane Senor or Tory Clarke, but Clarke said she wouldn't do it.

BEWARE! No matter who makes mice meat out of Dick Gregory and Helen Thomas ..........
we need to restrain the Viking Kitties. They are much too important to allow to do the cleaning up of the mice meat. Might make them sick ... and then what would we do? LOL!

I think he'd do a great job but I wouldn't blame him for turning it down.
