Heerrre's Tony: Fox host to be named White House spokesman Conservative pundit Tony Snow to be named press secretary Updated: 10:41 p.m. ET April 25, 2006 WASHINGTON - Conservative pundit Tony Snow will be named White House press secretary, Republican officials said Tuesday night, in the latest move in President Bush’s effort to remake his troubled White House. Snow is expected to be named on Wednesday. He will replace Scott McClellan, who is stepping down in a White House makeover intended to re-energize Bush’s presidency, bring in new faces and lift the president’s record-low approval ratings. McClellan had served as Bush’s chief spokesman — the most prominent public figure in the White House after Bush — for nearly three years.

If you've got any comments or opinions or discussion about the FINANCIAL NUMBERS... about the STATISTICS I presented, then I'd be happy to hear them. But, I'm not going to be overly impressed by your 'feelings', when you can't point to anything specifically, LL. The financial numbers are PUBLIC INFORMATION --- both for spending over the course of the Vietnam War, and for current spending in Iraq/Afghanistan. There are NO DISPUTES over those. The different financial cost projections I presented (for how much 'Iraq/Afghanistan' may cost before it is all over and all the bonds are paid off), are of course, just that: projections. As projections into an uncertain future they may differ materially from each other, depending upon the assumptions that are made. :)
