Tony's guests and topics on today's show include:

Rita Education
Even though the Texas coast is directly in Rita's path, it's New Orleans that will suffer the most. Yet its city government still can't get its act together. Will NOLA ever learn?

Follow the Money
The federal government has infused tons of cash into recovery for Hurricane Katrina. What will happen if Rita is as deadly as feared? Senator George Allen (R-VA) explains where the money is going to go.

Can't Buy Me Love
President Bush can't buy Democrats' approval, former White House speechwriter Peggy Noonan points out. She and Tony will explain why tightening the belt could be the best move the president makes.

Thank you.

Are you a nationally known pundit with access to the media?

As far as the spending goes, two days ago I heard Mike Pence talk abut how is efforts to find offsets were a "direct result" of the President's meeeting with Congressional leaders.

And as far as Katrina spending goes, BY LAW the government is supposed to cover 75% of the costs. I suggest that people who are griping need to talk to their Congressional people and get that law changed; the President has sworn to uphold all of the laws, even those he doesn't like.

Does anyone know EXACTLY how much is to be spent? No, because we don't even know what all is damaged yet. Does anyone know how much is going to be covered by the private sector and charities? No, for the same reason.

Has the President done anything that merits this snarky response by Ms. Noonan? No. The three things he proposed in his speech are conservative ways of dealing with a disaster. All of the griping is by people who have other axes to grind and make silly comments like "Bush is trying to buy favor with the democrats." That is ludicrous and I am not accepting such second-rate punditry.

Noonan (which I will call her since she doesn't bother to give the President the courtesy of his title) needs to face the fact that President Bush is his own person, the times are different than when President Reagan was in office, and that President Bush's speechwriter is every bit as good as she was, if not better.

And, by the way, I wonder how come we don't hear from any other Reagan speechwriters, especially since she wasn't HEAD writer. Could it be that they are not interested in trashing the President? Could it be that they, unlike Noonan, understand Reagan's 11th Commandment?

I am off my soapbox now. LOL!

[GodBlessUSA]

LOL! Oh man, I was going for the calender, until I read it's just a joke. :)

[AliVeritas]

Alright you groupies, where's the email?

Mass was great, lots of intercessions for hurricane victims of K and R. Prayed for FR crew also.

[GodBlessUSA]

Does Tony Snow mean that we email his site with our address and we receive a autographed photo. That would be great! :)

Thanks for your prayers for those in the path or K/R and for Freepers. All in my prayers also.

[FOXFANVOX]

Wow, did I cause you to get that mad; I hope not. While I am not a nationally known pundit, not even a locally known one, I do have access to the media. I read it and watch it and listen to it. Sometimes the media gets it right, more often they don't. But they have the right to be wrong.

The problem today is that people way beyond the envelope of normal differences and discussions are given air time. Then the folks on the right are so offended [as well they should be] that they do not want to hear any criticism. This is not good. Criticism is helpful, if it is constructive. Often I have criticized only to be proven wrong; but I learned from that and gained insight.

Nobody is perfect, not even Pres. Bush. He is a very good man doing a very, very difficult job well, for the most part. But, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Pres. Bush rose to high office because he would work with his opponents. That does not work in Washington; the only thing that the politicians of Washington, DC respond to is power.

Pres. Bush had two recent opportunities to exercise fiscal discipline; the transportation bill and the hurricane relief effort. The transportation bill begged for a veto by anyone's standards [speaking as a Conservative] and the hurricane relief was a chance missed to say we need to realize that states must assume more responsibility and that the federal treasury is limited and priorities must be set. Several of us disagree with any effort by the feds to rebuild New Orleans. Rebuild their infrastructures, but not their private enterprises and certainly not provide federal insurance for the new more expensive buildings.

Now, I will make an embracing confession. I have not yet read Peggy Noonan's article. Tonight, if I can ever get off this computer I will read it and, who knows, maybe tomorrow I will agree with you about her article. But, my views of Pres. Bush dropping the ball on restraining excessive congressional spending will remain the same. Sorry.

Enuff. Have a good weekend.

See ya Monday,

FOX

[FOXFANVOX]

Well, I can't compete with Tony's picture [Gee, wonder if he has a calendar?] Not only because he is better looking but also because his are free. But, when he runs out, maybe there will be an opportunity to inaugurate FOX Photo Enterprises. [As distinct from Fox]

Always looking for a way to supplement retirement. 8)

[FOXFANVOX]

See Post 504. I think that is a YES.

[And E-mail your local station and ask them why Tony is not on. And if he is on yours than E-mail mine WBT Charlotte, NC that is too stuborn to jump on a good deal.]

[FOXFANVOX]

Ali, while you were at Mass, we were here fighting the good fight. Hope you prayed for all, even the Episcopalians! [Who probably need prayers the most.]

[GodBlessUSA]

Excellent. Thanks!

I'll email your radio station and I have to check mine. :)

[FOXFANVOX]

Well, God bless, GodBless!

Have a geat weekend.

[defconw]

I got to hear my man for President of the United States! Woo Hoo! Thanks for having Senator Allen on. I am thrilled. He's just an awesome guy!

[FOXFANVOX]

There you are, Def.

I figured you were working hard when you didn't chip in doing the George Allen interview. He is saying the right things and I always like people that use sports analogies, ala Judge Roberts. However, I am not sure about that Cindy Sheehan stand?

You might, however, have to change your tag line for his running mate. 8)

BTW: Did you read Tony's offer for an autographed picture if you E-mail him at his Fox web site.

I offered one, too, but mine wasn't free! (Hee, hee)

[luvie]

Got to watch you on The Weekend Show on Fox for a change. You're looking good...not to give you a swelled head. It is so good that you are feeling so well. Prayers have been answered on your behalf, and they continue!.....now I'll go away and wait for Monday to get here! :o) Woof!

[defconw]

LOL, As soon as Allen has a running mate I will change my tagline. I need to e-mail Tony. I have never had an autograhed photo of anyone. Cool.
