after watching Snow's briefing,I have something bitchy to say-forgive me.

[w8liftinglady]

After watching Kyra Phillips gush over Snow's breakdown about his cancer...it occured to me...what a PERFECT choice for press secretary....send the kid with cancer...don't be too rough on him,he's survived cancer,Cue the question about cancer-My God.I respect Mr Snow's battle,but I can see how this could be manipulated.

1. "I'm just a simple CAVEMAN..."

[Nickster]

3. Ha! Your technology is frightening to me. n/t

[deutsey]

12. One of my favorites!

[Nickster]

2. My Goodness! How could you insinuate that the WH would do something

to manipulate the press! GASP! LoL....:-)

[w8liftinglady]

4. they are still talking about it-"Tony got SO choked up"

[blm]

5. Yeah - and Snow and the media were SO kind to Kerry when he went thru

cancer surgery and treatment. So kind, that they plastered pics from when he was being treated and labeled them BEFORE BOTOX - and used pics after rest and recovery to claim they were AFTER BOTOX pics.

I wonder how Laura Ingraham feels about that, now?

[dchill]

11. "how Laura Ingraham feels..."

We all know she doesn't feel anything - except maybe subconscious self-loathing.

[blm]

14. Well, Ingraham used to get by on her looks and acidity - she mocked Kerry

along with the rest of the RW machine who insisted he used botox, completely oblivious to his battle with cancer for most of 2003.

After cancer treatment she was in very bad shape, and is still physically recovering - I wonder if she thinks back about what she and her friends did to Kerry?

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. You would think a survivor would become a little humble - but not her

She is still a witch and is still full of hate.

[blm]

22. I actually thought having cancer would have made her think about what she

put others through while they had cancer. And how she really feels about Bush cutting cancer research funds in the recent budget.

[Botany]

6. The news Tony had or has cancer

not NSA not Rove not bugging reporters not ....

[napi21]

7. Call me naieve,, but I doubt his cancer had anything to do with

them picking him. I'm sure it's still a very sensitive topic for him since I heard he was just recently given a clean bill of health from his Drs.

I don't think it will matter much to the Press Corps either. If things get hot, David Gregory and Helen Thomas will still ask the same questions they would of any Press Secretary.

[LibDemAlways]

8. If the press had a spine (as if)

reporters might ask a question or two about the medical benefits Snow had at FAUX that enabled him to battle the disease, and then ask why the * administration is unwilling to even discuss providing some sort of catastrophic coverage to the millions of uninsured already faced with or who may one day face a similar health crisis.

It's one thing to emphathize with the plight of a cancer victim - quite another to actually do their jobs and ask the tough questions.

[partylessinOhio]

9. He has too much baggage, just like the rest of this administration.

If this keeps up, the public will never get a straight answer to any important questions.

Get him out of there!

[Jane Austin]

10. Where's the sympathy for Patrick Kennedy?

He had cancer as a kid and had his leg amputated to save his life.

I don't see anybody gushing with sympathy and understanding over him.

[endarkenment]

16. That was teddy jr. not patrick. nt.

[Jane Austin]

17. Oh. Thanks for straightening me out. I didn't realize he had more than

one son.

How is Teddy, Jr. doing these days?

[debbierlus]

20. He is a junkie

And, a dem.

Who cares?

Right.

Surreal.

[pepperbear]

13. kind of like shrek's puss in boots

sorry, Tony, we feel for you, really! But if you use it to gain favor or to manipulate the press corps...well you're just an ASS.

[TheCowsCameHome]

15. Hey Snowballs - Just stick to the job you were hired to for.

You signed on with the SS GoingDown - Either try to do the job, which is prop up the failing administration, or quit and go back to Faux. I don't care to hear about your personal life.

[debbierlus]

19. I don't CARE, if he had cancer

He has no ethics. Shilling for Bush & co.

A illness has NOTHING to do with this....

Fuck him.

[donco6]

21. Wish that worked for me.

People bitch at me all the time.

I KNEW I should have applied for his job.
