The interdepartmental spokesmouth transfer at Fox House, Jon Papelbon and 12 and 1/3, the Today Show, Tony Snow
__________________________________________________________________________________________
It's good to see that Tony Snow and Fox and The White House are doing the logical move - the INTERDEPARTMENTAL TRANSFER. Fox News has been a strong and usually passionate spokesmouth for the White House. So why hire from outside when the solution and able body lies within?

And yet this article cites numerous negative remarks Snow has made about Bush and his administration. I am puzzled by this. Either Snow has really said all of these things, some of these things or none of these things. If he said some of these things, perhaps he was saying them to show that he, unlike Fox White House (Fox House), is not completely in bed with Bush, or Snow was trying to show independence and that he has "cred" as a journalist. It's too early to ponder such probing thoughts.

SNOW on BUSH:
"George W. Bush and his colleagues have become not merely the custodians of the largest government in the history of humankind, but also exponents of its vigorous expansion." [3/17/06]
"President Bush distilled the essence of his presidency in this year's State of the Union Address: brilliant foreign policy and listless domestic policy." [2/3/06]
"George Bush has become something of an embarrassment." [11/11/05]
"Bush 'has a habit of singing from the Political Correctness hymnal.'" [10/7/05]
"No president has looked this impotent this long when it comes to defending presidential powers and prerogatives." [9/30/05]
"Bush 'has given the impression that [he] is more eager to please than lead, and that political opponents can get their way if they simply dig in their heels and behave like petulant trust-fund brats, demanding money and favor -- now!" [9/30/05]
"When it comes to federal spending, George W. Bush is the boy who can't say no. In each of his three years at the helm, the president has warned Congress to restrain its spending appetites, but so far nobody has pushed away from the table mainly because the president doesn't seem to mean what he says." [The Detroit News, 12/28/03]
"The president doesn't seem to give a rip about spending restraint." [The Detroit News, 12/28/03]
"Bush, for all his personal appeal, ultimately bolstered his detractors' claims that he didn't have the drive and work ethic to succeed." [11/16/00]
"Little in the character of demeanor of Al Gore or George Bush makes us say to ourselves: Now, this man is truly special! Little in our present peace and prosperity impels us to say: Give us a great man!" [8/25/00]
I WOULD HATE TO DISAGREE with someone so respected at Fox News. LOL

I will be on the TODAY SHOW tomorrow (Thursday, April 27, 2006). I was interviewed about American Idol. Wynona Judd was also interviewed for the segment. I love how DADA this entire strange juxtaposition is - Fox, American Idol, Wynona and me. This seems more like eating odd food late at night and the resulting disturbing dream.

JONATHAN PAPELBON keeps doing it and doing it and doing it. The Boston Red Sox reliever still has not given up a run in 2006 - 12 and 1/3 innings of perfect relief!

Mariano Papelbon? No - if said that, it would show a NY Yankees player respect and I'd rather not go that far.
