Tony Snow 'Awaiting Clearance From Doctors' As He Considers White House Job
Media Bistro ^ | 4.21.06 | Brian

Posted on 04/21/2006 8:02:36 AM PDT by gopwinsin04

Fox News commentator/host Tony Snow is still "in negotiations for the job of White House press secretary," Friday's New York Times says.

"Republicans said [Joshua] Bolten has been focused on finding a new White House press secretary with good contacts in the Washington news media and a deep understanding of how they work."

And Snow definitely fits that description. But:

"Associates of Mr. Snow, 50, said he has been weighing whether he and his family are up for the rigors of such a demanding job. Mr. Snow had surgery for colon cancer last year and is awaiting an clearance from doctors before making a deal, according to people with knowledge of his deliberations who spoke on condition of anonymity because they did not want to upset private discussions at a sensitive time."

I think he can still Freep,
he'll just have to change his screen name and stay anonymous. You won't know he's Freeping (sort of like Rush and Hannity)

They why don't they just keep their traps shut until Tony makes his decision public. Sheesh! As a member of the public, I can be patient and wait for the news from the man, himself.

Rules junkies, I tell you!

Can you imagine her giving Helen Thomas the cold, steely look and saying "Go ahead, make my day!"

If the pay is too low, we'll take up a monthly collection for your beer money.

I know you mean well, but that's a little insulting. Tony has had a serious bout with colon cancer. The most important thing he and his family must weigh is whether or not it makes sense for him to take such a demanding job. It requires a lot of travel and long hours.

Isn't Tony Snow one of the few people in MSM who's a Catholic?

He's a good man, I hope he can take the job and that his health will be fine, and he'll enjoy serving the president and the country.

I'd hate to see Tony leave the comforts of Fox and move to the rigors of the White House. He's such a class act. He would however, make mincemeat of fugly old helen thomas and I'd give anything to see that!
