Tony Snow offered White House Job

Heard on the John Gibson radio program

[yellowdoghunter]

I just heard on the John Gibson radio program that Tony Snow has been offered McClellan's job at the White House. He has not made a decision but will discuss it on his radio program tomorrow.

I didn't see this posted. Just posting what I heard. No link.

[rwfromkansas]

you f'ing kidding me?

Wow.

[Dog Gone]

It would be a pay cut.

[rwfromkansas]

Looks like we have another bolton who has a clue of what needs to be done.

McClellan is a nice guy and with a resume line of WH press sec, he can go places. But, it is time for new blood.

[rwfromkansas]

I would take it if I were him. He can always go back to radio after.

[Wheee The People]

It's one of the toughest jobs in the world.

[tiredoflaundry]

You kidding me???? OMG!

[tiredoflaundry]

Is this true??????

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Tony! You should SERIOUSLY consider this if it's TRUE. Your country needs you.

[tiredoflaundry]

*ping a ling*

[RockinRight]

Wow!

[rwfromkansas]

Snow can do it. He is a journalist and knows how to deal with them. He can think on his feet well, something that McClellan, though a great guy personally, can't do.

He will anticipate the questions and formulate good responses.

It would be a great opportunity. If I were him, I would take it. You don't get to work at the WH everyday, and it is a fairly high-up position. Of course, I believe he was a speechwriter, so he already has experience working at the WH, which is why he may turn it down.

If I were him, I would take it, regardless of the pay cut.

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

This Bolten guy is the real deal. I get the feelin' that Bush is gonna get his mojo back in a big way.

Tell him to take the job!

[Mr. Jazzy]

Do it, Tony!!!


I would LOVE to see you BI-OTCH slap Helen Thomas!!!


Hahahaha!


Just joking, be nice to the old lady.


That idiot from NBC is another story....

[Malsua]

Wow, take the job Tony(assuming this is true). You can get back to the reporting afterward, but you will ALWAYS be remembered for that job and you're a much better communicator than Scott has ever been.

[carlr]

If this is for real,

PLEASE SAY YES!

[tiredoflaundry]

*Snowman ping*

[Dog Gone]

Hell, there would be a future book in it which most of us would buy.

[satchmodog9]

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1617381/posts Is it true, take one for the team, Tony. I'm sure FOX would keep your seat warm.

[putupjob]

Tony: this administration is damaged goods and it's not coming back. If this was the start of the first Bush administration, I'd tell ya to go for it.

Now, forget it. Nothing but trouble, nasty press corps and an administration that continues to lose influence. It's not worth it.

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Tony always talks about how he would massage and shape the WH communications strategy. He knows Washington. This WH needs someone who can highlight the successes of this administration and hold the MSM to the fire. He would only have to do it through the elections.

[Cecily]

Do it, Tony. O'Blowhard will be so jealous, seeing as he thinks GWB should hang on his every word.

[deport]

It would be a pay cut.

But a huge resume builder, imo.

Or maybe Gibson is trying to stir the folks up over at DU

[yellowdoghunter]

Gotta run guys. I am just posting what I heard...but like I said gotta go for now, it is finals week in school!

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Are you kidding?

[Miss Marple]

TAKE IT!!! I can guarantee that you will have donations to make up the salary difference. We will buy your book post-administration in mass quantities! TAKE IT, PLEASE!!

I am begging! The country needs you!

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Message sent to Tony.

[deport]

McClellan is a nice guy and with a resume line of WH press sec, he can go places.

If true my guess the places he going is Austin Tx to run his mommy's campaign press relations, etc.

[wjersey]

Tony just lost the job because he can't keep a secret.

[NeoCaveman]

If true my guess the places he going is Austin Tx to run his mommy's campaign press relations, etc.

Even I wouldn't wish that on Ma Richards McClellan Keyhorn Your Name Here Strayhan

[DrDeb]

If this is true, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE say yes -- your country and your president need you!!!

[rwfromkansas]

You have finals week early. Wow.

[rwfromkansas]

I somehow think he can smooth things over if the WH finds out it got leaked.

It is Gibson who blabbed.

[rwfromkansas]

You aren't the real Tony Snow are you?

[decal]

I dunno....TWO guys with the word "Secretary" in their titles named "Snow" in the same administration - the Press will become even more confused than they are now.

[tiredoflaundry]

Yes, that IS Tony Snow.

[Prost1]

"It would be a pay cut."

Not when you consider the royalities he would get for writing about the last 2 years of the Bush administration (as well as culling info from key players about the 1st 6 years)!

[rwfromkansas]

I just noticed your posts on your live show thread and believe you are the real article.

Wow, sir. Nice of you to come here. I am interested in a journalism career myself and would like to ask you some questions. Do you respond to Freepmail? You are a busy man, but manage to multitask well! :)

[Miss Marple]

You do know, don't you, that you would be upheld in prayer 24/7? I commit to a Rosary daily on your behalf if you take this position.

[GRRRRR]

If it's true, Tony...do it. Now is the time for ALL good men to come to the aid of their country. We'll watch your back while you're takin' care of business. WE NEED YOU!

[rwfromkansas]

lol

The rumors are flying that the Snow currently in office may be out of there soon. We will see what happens.

Replacing staff is a delicate move; you don't want to freak out the WH staff and cause anxiety, but changes need to be made.

[Vermonter]

Tony. If there's any truth to this rumor, I know you'll give it the consideration it deserves and make the decision that's right for you.

My personal opinion is you would be fantastic at the job and manage to put the press prima donna's in their place for a change

[umgud]

If you take this job, and I hope you do, you may have to curtail or quit posting here. I hope not, but we'd still be proud to know you're lurking or posting under a different name. BTW, I'm sure there are many folks from this admin lurking and probably posting here. Good luck Tony.

[JRochelle]

Tony, you were born for that job. You will be great!

I am sure the drawbacks are time away from family.
But its only 2.5 years!

Tony your country needs you!!

[Mo1]

Ping a ling

[carlr]

I would get TIVO to be able to see you educate the morons of the press corp(David Gregory)daily.

You have been around them,are they really that uninformed or is it all a show for the cameras to push an agenda?

[tiredoflaundry]

I'm here, and I'm torn!
