Tony Snow Goes On The Record
Tony Snow, the former Fox News anchor who will serve as White House Press Secretary did an interview with Bill Sammon of The Examiner. Here are some excerpts. Read to the bottom.
Snow on calling Bush an embarrassment:
I knew it was something I’d have to deal with, but ironically, I had to deal with it the first time I went into the White House. I’d also been somewhat critical of the first President Bush.
Snow on DNC Chairman Howard Dean:
Howard Dean was the one public figure who came out hard, but Howard doesn’t know me.
Snow on Bush’s low polling numbers:
When you have a president in the 30s and Congress in the 20s, that’s bad. And I think one way you restore it is by behaving, by acting in a genial way.
Snow on President Bush punching his critics in the face:
You’ve seen the president take a lot of blows on the chin because he doesn’t want to ball up his fist and knock people’s teeth out. There’s an opportunity to make people — even people who disagree with us — feel really good about the whole thing.
President George W. Bush balling up his fist and knocking people’s teeth out…PRICELESS.
