[The Mayor]

PING

[clawrence3]

How do we get this into BREAKING NEWS?

[rintense]

Just waiting for all the FOX bashing to begin.

[nuconvert]

Thanks!

[jennyjenny]

Thanks for starting this thread. I'm so looking forward to this....I'm just giddy!

[Miss Marple]

Thanks for the live thread!

[jennyjenny]

It is in breaking.

[clawrence3]

Me too and you are welcome. I hope it got in the right spot - I've never done a LIVE thread before : )

[Miss Marple]

Back in a second...I need to get SOME work done. LOL!

[mware]

Comin' to you LIVE from the White House.

HEEEEEERRRRREEEEEESSSSSSS Tony.

[Miss Marple]

You did just fine!

[anita]

Just waiting for all the FOX bashing to begin.

Was Wendell Goler speaking or spitting venom?

[tiredoflaundry]

I hope Tony will keep the "cuss jar" on his desk at the White House , so he does not forget about us!

[Bahbah]

I've never done a LIVE thread before

You have a bright future :)

[The Mayor]

I am sure it will begin as soon as it is offically announced that Tony is the man.
I can just hear it now.. The Conservative, right wing news channel blah, blah... and Tony Snow, blah....

[clawrence3]

Thanks - now we can sit back and bask in the glory ; )

[clawrence3]

LOL

[veronica]

This is a brilliant stroke on many levels. Firstly, Tony is smart, experienced, and jovial. He's also a journalist, so he's one of them. And he's a cancer survivor so he's proved his personal toughness and courage far beyond what the puny David Gregory's of the world can claim.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Folks, what are we goin' do without the Snowman [on the radio]?

I guess we let him take on the press jackals. Tony, you will have my prayers every day.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

So who will be doing his radio show?

[clawrence3]

In Jesus's Name, Amen!

[clawrence3]

I think Brian Wilson is on today: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1621738/posts

[RedBloodedAmerican]

I can't wait til the Wicked Witch if the White House Press Corps tries to step on Mr. Snow. My guess is Helen will retire by years end, she won't have the run of the roost anymore.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

I always said that the President should get 6 FReepers to advise him and help him get his message out......I've been saying that for a year or more.

I never knew Tony Snow was a Freeper......

Maybe we will see more common sense from the Republicans in the near future....but I wouldn't bet on it.

Republicans have become addicted to power and spending......

and they are about to get a wake up call on election day!!

[mathluv]

Prayers for Tony. I am happy and sad at the same time. I will miss his show, and seeing him of Fox, but wish him the best in all he does.

[Jemian]

Yesterday it was Brian Kilmeade.

[mware]

Fox news breaking to white house. Wendal Goler talking about the SNOWMAN.

[Huck]

This is pretty wild. Never would have imagined it. Good to see that fat pasty loser McClellan go. Who the hell hired him? Andy Card? That guy was a loser too. Wasn't Miers his fault, too? This new Chief of Staff is a good deal, methinks. Very late in the game, but better late than never.

[Quilla]

Thanks for the thread and congratulations Mr. Snow!

[mathluv]

Wendell is on now, talking about Tony's column on Townhall about the President and gas prices.

[clawrence3]

I agree - just hope he is ready for some of those statements critical of the President to come up real quick - gasoline prices just for starters. There will be a short (if any) honeymoon for this particular Press Secretary : (

[Rummyfan]

Good luck to Tony Snow - into the lion's den! I think this is a great appointment.

[mware]

LOL, Wendal reading from Tony's colume. Said he wakes up every day thanking God he does not belong to the part of Chuckie Schumer.

[areafiftyone]

Brian Kilmeade is a hoot!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Fox news channel will carry it live. They dont expect Chuck Schumer to be there. LOL

[A Citizen Reporter]

Very classy remarks there Huck. /sarcasm

[bray]

Congrats Tony, you will be the best. Nail Gregory!!

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

[RasterMaster]

Thanks for the post and the head's up! Announcement in less than 10 minutes!

[SoCalPol]

Tony Snow Ping

[clawrence3]

He was actually Deputy Press Secretary and just assumed the post when Ari left.

[CedarDave]

Any live feeds??

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

I've liked Brian Kilmeade when I've heard him. That would be my choice but they've probably already taken care of this issue.

[LucyJo]

God bless Tony to do an excellent job for the POTUS and the country! Prayers for him and his family.

[SoCalPol]

Tony Snow Ping

[Jemian]

Congratulations, Tony. Our prayers and best wishes go with you.

You know there won't be any honeymoon. Not only has Tony been a FOX correspondent, but he has been (shudder!) a FREEPER as well. Nope, no honeymoon for those sins.

[sageb1]

It occurs to me this morning that the WH may be hoping that Tony can rein in the conservative base?

Whatever the case may be, congrats again to our FRiend!

[clawrence3]

LOL - I said Brian "Wilson" - go Beach Boys : )

[meandog]

Here's hoping for the best for Tony

[theDentist]

A cuss jar? Is that a jar where he can reach in and pull out a new, unique, and disparaging remarks to apply to various reporters (Mr. Gregory, and Mr. Thomas)?
