31 Aug 07 No More Snow.

So Snow-job officially announced that he would be resigning as White House Press Secretary on September 14th. According to the AP story:

Snow, ailing with cancer, had said recently he would leave before the end of Bush’s presidency. The father of three children, Snow said he needs to make more than his White House salary of $168,000. He could earn far more money on the speechmaking circuit.

The 52-year-old Snow was a conservative pundit and syndicated talk-show host on Fox News Radio before he was named press secretary on April 26, 2006. He is the latest in a string of White House officials to head for the exits.

Something just seems rotten about that. You’d think Bush Co. would make him an offer or at least take care of their own. I guess that goes to show that it doesn’t matter who is in the position as long as they are loyal to the Bush regime and are willing to be the target of daggers and spears.

That’s three press secretaries the Bush Administration has gone through; Ari Fleischer, Scott McClellan and now Tony Snow. Let’s see if replacement Dana Perino can go the distance. She’s only 35-years old, but I bet by December 2008 she is going to look 135.

23 Aug 07 David Shuster on Bush’s Vietnam Analogy.

Ready…aim…fire!

Showing once again that President Bush has a marginal grasp of both history and metaphors.

The best part:

April 13th, 2004
Interviewer: How do you feel about the Vietnam analogy?

Bush: I feel the analogy is false…and it sends the wrong message to our troops.

Do Bush and Cheney forget that the things they say are actually recorded and archived?
