Tony Snow - Trying to Make Ends Meet
White House Press Secretary Tony Snow says he'll be stepping down from his position due to 'financial considerations' - i.e., his $168,000 salary wasn't enough to live on. As a professional blogger, I can certainly sympathize with the difficulty of trying to make ends meet on a measly 6-figure paycheck. Still, the more I read about the story, the sorrier I feel for Snow, because apparently he's not let pride stand in his way when it comes to taking odd jobs (and worse) to help supplement his income. Things like:
* Returning Ted Kennedy's empties for the deposit. * Mowing the White House lawn in a Speedo at Laura Bush's request. * Which is nothing compared to the "favors" he's been doing for Pelosi, who responded to queries about the deal with "Hey... there are some... things... that Paul simply will not do. And a woman has certain... needs". * Following Bill around and e-mailing "bimbo reports" to Hillary. * Covertly collecting new entries to be published in "Bushisms, Vol. 6". * Browbeating YouTube into taking down all those "Drunken Jenna" videos. * Placing personals ads on SodomiteConnections.com for John Edwards. * Murdering hobos to keep a fresh supply of human hearts ready for Dick Cheney, just in case. * Although rumor has it he sub-contracted that one out to Glenn Reynolds. * Doing a little time in the "subservient chicken" outfit. * Being Marion Barry's third-shift crack-mule. * Drop-shipping pit bulls to a mysterious buyer in Virginia known only as M. V. Ick. Rumor has it that he's also mugged girl scouts for their cookie money, but hey, who hasn't? 13 Responses To "Tony Snow - Trying to Make Ends Meet"
You've heard that illegals are doing the jobs that Americans won't do? Tony Snow does the jobs even illegals won't do. #1 - Posted by: Exurban Jon on August 23, 2007 02:36 PMYou sure he's not more concerned that those government checks might bounce? #2 - Posted by: Luke on August 23, 2007 02:47 PMI can only wish the best for this wonderful human! He has faced and battled cancer with dignity and class and he deserves to live out the remainder of his life surrounded by those he loves. He is a man of God and a true patriot who's service to this nation will be remembered and missed! #3 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on August 23, 2007 02:48 PMWow. That's the nicest thing I've ever heard you say, ussjimmycarter! And I don't need to do anything about agreeing with you so much! Hats off to Tony Snow! I can't think of anything funny to say about him, either. I hope he gets back on the radio. There are a lot of pricks in politics and sports that are fun to attack...this is one of the few truly good guys out there. He should be treasured and appreciated as one. I wish there were more like Tony in politics today! The world would be a much better place with people like him as leaders! #5 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on August 23, 2007 03:01 PMussjimmycarter is right about Tony Snow. He is a decent human being in a place where such people are few and far between. BTW, you forgot "being Helen Thomas' magic mirror and spending hours every day telling her that she is 'the fairest one of all.'" #6 - Posted by: wcgreen on August 23, 2007 03:23 PMTony Snow probably doesn't have medical insurance, which would mean he pays out of pocket. I've seen my dad's insurance bills for his doctor/hospital visits and cancer treatments; there's little or now way could pay the full price for them. Don't forget that Mr. Snow has a family to care for and a home to manage. I'm sure there's other costs that his job incurs. My dad is getting his first chemotherapy treatment today. It will probably be expensive. So, PLEASE, LAY OFF! I wouldn't joke about it, even if you were talking about a Democrat. Leave the mudslinging to Kos. #7 - Posted by: ochagirl on August 23, 2007 03:34 PMJust because Tony Snow is struggling with cancer doesn't mean we or he can't have any sense of humor. My mom was funnier than hell, even after she was diagnosed with what turned out to be fatal cancer. Laughter is the only way you get through difficult times, IMHO. Besides, my wife has a crush on Tony Snow. That makes him my competition. #8 - Posted by: Exurban Jon on August 23, 2007 03:46 PMEven if he did have insurance, there's a good chance he has probably not cared whether he used a doctor within his provider's network. #9 - Posted by: ochagirl on August 23, 2007 03:48 PMOkay, I'll t-r-y to be humorous about him - but not about his cancer. Here goes: * Being hired by Bush to help communicate his Iraq policies since Bush couldn't do it. Little did he know: he'd be right on both counts! I guess the joke's on Bush. I give up. #10 - Posted by: Jimmy on August 23, 2007 04:00 PMJimmy: Huh? #11 - Posted by: epphan on August 24, 2007 11:53 AMI was hoping he'd be able to stay until after the election so he could really give Helen (the Crypt Keeper) Thomas the set down she so richly deserves. Maybe he'll do it before he leaves. I really hope so. That woman ought to be taken out and...... left in a care home (I thought shot but that'd be a big mess and she's not worth the price of the ammo). #12 - Posted by: seanmahair on August 24, 2007 12:55 PMsean: Helen Thomas has a higher calling than that. She can single-handedly end the Iraq War, and in fact all Islamist-fueled Middle East conflicts -- all we have to do is take her on a tour of the place, convincing young Muslim males that all the virgins in "paradise" look exactly like her. #13 - Posted by: James on August 24, 2007 01:23 PMPost a comment
