I wonder if you could become a White House speech writer today with these curriculum vitae: Education: B.A., philosophy, Davidson College; graduate work in philosophy and economics, University of Chicago. No criticism of Snow intended by this.

Tony Snow hasn't been a "Yes" man for the WH so far....he's been honest. Tony Snow will do a good job for the White House, and for Americans. Tony Snow is part of the reason that FOX News has been so successful, something the NYT will not understand. apnews.myway.com Snip: >>>>>Snow's appointment is notable in a White House that has a reputation for not suffering criticism. He has had some harsh things to say about Bush. Snow called the president "something of an embarrassment," a leader who has "lost control of the federal budget," the architect of a "listless domestic policy" and a man who has "a habit of singing from the political correctness hymnal." Bush shrugged off the criticism. "He's not afraid to express his own opinions," he said of his new spokesman. "For those of you who've read his columns and listened to his radio show, he sometimes has disagreed with me. I asked him about those comments, and he said, 'You should have heard what I said about the other guy.'" Snow thanked Bush for the job and told reporters, "Believe it or not, I want to work with you." Bush also addressed reporters directly. "Tony already knows most of you and he's agreed to take the job anyway," he said with a laugh. Snow, in an Associated Press interview Tuesday, didn't dispute that he's been a tough critic of Bush. "It's public record," he said. "I've written some critical stuff. When you're a columnist, you're going to criticize and you're going to praise."<<<<< Snip
