White House Press Secretary: Bush Is 'Embarrassment'

Fox News confirms their own Tony Snow is the new White House Press Secretary.

It would seem that the White House doesn't watch Fox News much (perhaps it's too meta for them?) because they might have noticed that Mr. Snow is not as as loyal to the party line as Masters Hannity or Hume. Think Progress has compiled a collection of highly critical quotes Snow has made about his new boss. My three favorites-
#1-

“George Bush has become something of an embarrassment.” [11/11/05]

#2-

“No president has looked this impotent this long when it comes to defending presidential powers and prerogatives.” [9/30/05]

#3-

“He recently tried to dazzle reporters by discussing the vagaries of Congressional Budget Office economic forecasts, but his recitation of numbers proved so bewildering that not even his aides could produce a comprehensible translation. The English Language has become a minefield for the man, whose malaprops make him the political heir not of Ronald Reagan, but Norm Crosby.” [8/25/00]

Buuuurrrrrn.

Ohhh, how fun these first few press briefings will be. I wonder if anyone will ask him to clarify any of these statements or if they will be too busy digging right into the numerous scandals and crises engulfing the Oval Office. As long as Tony can say "ongoing investigation", he should be fine.
