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]

The Nation claims the CNN report said it was several weeks ago in fact that the WH approached Snow.

I can't confirm this, and the NYT piece does not really fit with that. Several weeks ago is not "very recent," which is what the Times used as their time frame.

In any event, very interesting. We will see what happens tomorrow. Night all.

[Judith Anne]

Mr. Snow, I am so pleased you're on FoxNews--it's a real pleasure to be able to relax and listen to some excellent commentary from you.

But if it is true that you've been approached by the White House--and I believe it is--I ask that you take the job. Please. You have unique personal qualifications that would be indispensable. You would not only benefit the President and his administration, you would actually benefit the country--all of us.

That's no reason to take it--you owe us nothing. But I am a little old lady who is politely asking.

Please, Mr. Snow, take the job.

Thanks for your consideration,

Judy

Oh it's great that kitty is doing well. I saw my mom on Saturday, and she asked me "how is your friend's diabetic cat doing?" (I didn't tell her you're a cyber-friend!) In any case our family has its priorities straight! lol

[Txsleuth]

I betcha the time frame coincides when Josh Bolton took over for Andy Card...which was a week or so ago.

I have always figured Scott might leave to work on his mother's campaign for Texas Governor....but, considering she has no chance to win...IMHO...it wouldn't exactly be a great career move...>LOL

[Arizona Carolyn]

I think Tori Clark would be great, but Dobbs played an out-take of her on CNN saying if asked she would not take the job..

[Txsleuth]

I have been pushing for Torie Clark for a long time...and about 2-3 weeks ago...I saw her slap down Paul Begala on CNN so bad...that I became more of a fan...

I would LOVE to see her take the job, if Tony doesn't.

Tony:

I am well aware of your sterling resume and also of your health battle so I will certainly respect any decision you make. I believe you make a great contribution through Fox and your radio program and would miss you in those important roles.

That said, this role has a flavor that allows you to be more directly involved in the future of our Country by competently explaining the President's positions in a time where many of the media have seemed to have forgotten that journalism is a function of fact finding and not advocacy.

I am comfortable in saying that the viewership of the daily WH Press Conferences would increase dramatically. The benefit would be that many of us that are vigilant in regards to the liberal press would be more apt to monitor, disseminate and expose their blatant bias. And your wordsmithing would not allow the press to cajole you into soundbites that are misrepresented by the network newscasts day-in and day-out.

Good luck with your decision - I'll listen in tomorrow morning.

[Trajan88]

"Rubbin' elbows with Snow." (I think that's the line Mr. President proclaims during one of T.S.'s radio show sounders).

[Refinersfire]

While you are clearly not a fav of mine on Fox or IRL, I wish you the best, if you decide to take the job, if offered to you..

As for your CFR membership... tisk.. tisk.. you could have done so much better... ever heard of the Elks, Jaycees or the Rotary Club?

[Pukin Dog]

I too would have gone with Torie Clark, she was excellent in the Pentagon. If she doesn't want it, Tony Snow should jump on it, if just for the FReeper support.

[neuroconservative]

I know that you have your family and your health to think about, but allow me to very selfishly say:

Please take the job!!!

You have a higher IQ than the entire WH Press Corps combined, and it would be a delight to see you run circles around them.

More importantly, I think we all know how great the stakes are for the Republic.

It's a bit like being drafted, I guess. I'm sorry you got the low number.

[StarFan]

Ping!

[Arizona Carolyn]

I think Tori would be awsome, she used to run rings around the Pentagon reporters and I would love to see her take on Helen Thomas and David Gregory.

[Yaelle]

Dear Tony,

I am not sure what a rosary is, but I'll send prayers (in Hebrew) and blessings on your behalf up daily as well.

The people on this thread who are begging you to take this are doing so because the worst thing about the Bush administration (other than their handling of illegal immigration) is the LOUSY PR they get. The pseudointellectuals of the drive-by media define all the issues for the busy American people.

We need somebody NICE and GENUINE who can explain the President's positions to the laypeople with no condescension. We need someone to counter the spin with truth. Rush Limbaugh style.

You could do this. You could redefine conservatism truthfully. It's an awful job with the David Gregories and Helen Thomases in your face every day, but you might be able to crack it for a while.

I hope that if you turn it down, it's for any reason other than your health, because I do fervently hope your health is great.

[freedom4me]

"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."

McClellan and Dan Bartlett are poodles at a time when we need pit bulls in the Communications office.

Snow is a "nice guy", but he knows how to play hardball.

The job, however, is grueling and one wonders if Tony is up to it considering his recent bout with cancer.

[Yaelle]

Tony, you and David Gregory would have a ball.

Couldn't you have said this differently??

[OKIEDOC]

I guess those days at Fort Sill have served you well.

I believe with your demeanor that you would do any job you try justice.

[Grampa Dave]

Tony would be great.

He would add class and would stop the petty sniping from the childish MSM pseudo journalists.

[Naptowne]

He would be out-of-his-mind to take that job.

[hipaatwo]

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! If your health is up to the task TAKE THE JOB! Our President and our country needs you to get the truth out.


Mo, please ping me tomorrow when he gives his answer. I don't get to bed until 5 or 6 a.m and usually miss the show.

[devolve]

[potlatch]

LOL, Tony might get scared away by the sight of your Davy gif!!

I'm heading for bed. Just sent you something interesting!

[Springman]

Haven't went through this whole thread yet.

Have you seen this!!

[Liberty Valance]

Tony, Ollie North had the following to say recently...
------------------------------
"In Washington today, the facts really don't matter. And no one -- friend or foe -- has any doubt that the Bush administration has an appalling record when it comes to getting its message out and keeping Congress "in the loop." When political and press opponents of the president are allowed to frame the issue -- whether it's the war in Iraq, the response to a hurricane, NSA "wiretaps" or foreign firms operating U.S. port facilities -- the results are foreordained."
~ Ollie North ~

You could very well be the person needed for this task. Good luck and Godspeed to you whatever happens.

[lysie]

Thanks for the ping.

[guinnessman]

Is that guy with the AK-47 wearing a Chicago Bears jersey?

How do you protest America wearing an NFL jersey?

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

Take it Tony!

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

But, it is time for new blood.

Oxygenated this time, please.

[devolve]

Like Mexican illegals

They hate America and Americans


They want to turn America into Mexico and Islam

Yet expect to get all your goodies


They trash their own lands and spread their cancer

[PureSolace]

Tony we need more men like you in these spaces. I hope you go for it! :) We're always behind ya!

[YaYa123]

Thanks for the heads up to this thread. The offer, a great honor for Tony, and how wonderful for the administration if it happened, but I don't think it will. Tony's family, his physical and mental health far too important.

"Not gonna happen", my prediction, or Tony would not be discussing it on his radio show. But I like the useful buzz the idea creates, and the thought of how it would stymie the WHPC's wolf pack, "gotcha" mentality is positively delightful.

[TChad]

He would be out-of-his-mind to take that job.

Then let's hope he is out of his mind. We need a good press secretary, and Snow would be excellent.

[Lurker]

Take it Tony.

You'll fit right in with the rest of the pro-amnestia crowd.

[WhiteGuy]

Tony Snow offered White House Job


I thought he'd been on the payroll for years..................................

[Lurker]

What they're doing to Scott stinks. Whoever is leaking this is not a very nice person.

[teldon30]

hehe ;)

[teldon30]

It's funny isn't it?....he's for amnesty, carries Bush's water, kind of nonconfrontational and also a good looking sycophant....fill in the rest.

[beyond the sea]

Tony Snow offered White House Job

WOW also!

[beyond the sea]

"I get the feelin' that Bush is gonna get his mojo back in a big way." ---

****

That would be very welcome!

[humblegunner]

Based on what qualifications I wonder?

Most people can talk, isn't that what Snow does? Just talk?

[Laverne]

You are up and posting early this morning! Good luck with your decision; you would be great in the job. Wish you well whatever decision you make.

[Raycpa]

You do have a calming effect on contentious issues. We can use that now. I pray that God shows you his will for you if you are given this opportunity to serve.

I also pray that if you do accept, you and your family are protected from the inevitable attacks on your character that will come from all sides.

[rdb3]

"What would we do without the SNOW-man?"

Hey, that's my line! ;-)

Tony, whatever comes out of this, DAMN the naysayers. Their opinions are worthless and they exist only to tear people down.

Remember that, please.

This is a ch__ch. What's missing?

[beyond the sea]

Tony didn't leak the story -- and hasn't commented on the record.

Oh yeh? Who in the world is going to take your word for it? (kidding)

****

Take it please. Simply, you would be helping the Republic. And thank you for adding your excellence to this fine site.

[beyond the sea]

:-)

[beyond the sea]

I would get TIVO to be able to see you educate the morons of the press corp

ROFL

[OXENinFLA]

Now this is some good news in the morning.

I will be tuning in to his show today for sure.

I hope he accepts the offer.

[Just mythoughts]

Whatever you decide or if there is a decision to be made, I wish you the best. I pray that whatever decisions made by all involved help to clear the clouds of the liberal accusations and doublespeak prevalent across this land.
