What Juan said about his communication with his own son was more shocking than anything else Juan has admitted in the past.
Paraphrase: he does not talk politics with his [18 yr old] son. They were driving somewhere one day and the voice of Tony Snow, speaking as WH Press Secretary, came over the radio. The son said in surprise “Is that OUR Tony Snow?” This son had been to ballgames in DC with his father and Tony.
Why did that son not already know that his acquaintance had become the White House Press Secretary!!!! It makes me want to scream!
Many kids of that age ignore much what their parents say especially politically hanging on to every word their professor or teacher may impact. Its the way of the world unfortunately.
The fact they were in the car and it was coming over the radio probably made him pay more attention than if Juan had mentioned it before. I am certain Juan probably had but the son probably was not listening.
I just yelled out the same thing—Juan, your kid was in college and he didn’t know Tony was WH Press Secretary???
Juan has said in the past, that his son is a conservative but not particularly interested in living politics. IOW, he has a real life.
