Looks Like Snow

All indications are that Tony Snow, former speech writer for the first President Bush back in 1991, will accept the position as Press Secretary, replacing Scott McClellan.

I happen to think he's perfect for the job. First, having been a political analyst on Fox News for years now and the host of a radio talk show, he has all the blind righties eating out of his hand. Second, his horrible, scratchy voice is unbearable to listen to, so people like me will have an excuse to tune out the White House even more.

Most important, however, is where Scott McClellan was a terrible liar – he never did it well – Tony Snow has been lying for Bush for years. And years. All with a nice, friendly smile and not a bit of discomfort.

Here are a few of Tony Snows lies – the ones that have pissed me off the most:

Suggested Democrats objected to Bush's warrantless spying because they think the "government should not be able to listen to Al Qaeda"

Claimed that Carter and Bush both authorized warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens

Deemed Gitmo "the most humane prisoner-of-war facility in history"

Clearly, the only change will be the skill with which the White House lies to us.
