An exchange from a recent press conference which Greg Pollowitz found:
REPORTER: The Nixon tapes case, though, presents certain limitations on the President’s assertion of executive privilege, doesn’t it?
TONY SNOW: How on earth are you trying to apply the Nixon’s tapes case here? That seems an awful stretch.
REPORTER I read it in the paper. It sounded logical when I read it.
TONY SNOW: Well, it’s — nice try.
REPORTER: Thank you.
The very first In My World was me imagining what it would be like if the White House Press Secretary finally opened up on the press. I still wish it would happen.
(hat tip Hot Air)
I personally can’t wait until after the election because win or lose I think all restraints will be off Mr. Snow and he can be as blunt, honest and direct as he desires.
What a show that will be. (I hope and pray)
Maybe he’ll even bring a crucifix with him to control Helen Thomas.
Sooooo very off subject but I can’t help it.
AtFoxnews there is this amazing story.
It is now time for conservatives to step up to the bar. It is time for us to boycott the big three and tell advertisers with our feet just what we think of Moveon.org.
Do I hear a chorus of “We Shall Overcome” beginning in the hinterland? Make it so Number 1.
Tony is cool, I NEVER thought I’d get over it when Ari left…I think of him fondly and often.
Tony Snow is awesome.He is really a pro at restraining himself with the press. I also think he was a little less than enthusiastic with the Bush Administration’s stance on the illegal immigration issue, but played along for the sake of loyalty.
And another thing, Frank. You did a lot more cussing before SarahK came along to civilize you. Good for her, dammit.
[Sometimes I think I should put up language warning when I link to old stuff. -Ed.]
Tony Snow is the best ever! I hope he is doing well with his battle with cancer! I think he is truly one of the nice guys in politics! He has a tough sell with this administration right now…
REPORTER I read it in the paper. It sounded logical when I read it.
The correct answer would have been, “You know you should never trust anything written by a journalist.”
I just love it when he knocks them down a peg or two.
Pathetic. That’s about a hair away from ” I heard some dude say it in the bar last night. ” I don’t know how Tony restrains himself from profanity ladden verbal bitch slapping on a daily basis.
