So is someone going to substitute for Snow when he's out?
Or do they just get to stop having daily briefings now?

1. There will still be briefings
there's at least one Deputy Press Secretary who fills in for him.

15.  Dana Perino ---you have to read this interview folks
"I came to Washington D.C. in August of 1995.
I worked for Scott McInnis (former Colorado congressman) for two and a half months as a staff assistant.
And the Colorado Avalanche were playing their first game against the Washington Capitals,
and Coors had bought a whole bunch of tickets.
And the Colorado delegation got on a whole bunch of buses
and
went to the game, and
I ended up sitting next to a guy who said, “So, what do you want to do?” I said,
“I’d like some day to work my way up to a press secretary position.”
And he said, “Do you know Congressman Dan Schaefer?” And
he said, “His press secretary just got a new job.” I met Schaefer’s office the next day."


She even puts question marks in her inflection

17. I actually heard her say on CNN that Sy Hersch had a "wanton
disregard for the truth." But she pronounced it "won-ton" like the little Chinese dumplings....

22. She is next in line and I think that is cool and that it will only
be for a while and it will be a whole bunch of fun totally.

And She will be eaten alive, perfect timing if you think of it.

Tony, I do respect his genius for spin and truely wish him well in his recovery, I still can't stand him.
but hope this lady stands up on the podium for the next three weeks it would be like so cool?

6. LOL I never thought I'd say it
but I think I'd prefer his soulless non-blinking stare to the sleazy Snow.

16. He's got what it takes to be Bush's spokesman
Can't you just see it now . . .

All of Florida under 3 feet and water and Baghdad Bob, knee deep in sewage as a child's toy floats by behind him, saying "Global warming is a scientific hoax."

9. Yes, we'd get the same information
but it would be more amusing. That's the ticket, indeed.

24.  Wrong Jon Lovitz character. Being press secretary requires the Master Thespian and...
ACTING!

27. I think you've confused Jon Lovitz with ...
... Scott McClellan ... or was it McClellan confusing himself with Jon Lovitz?

(By the end, I really saw no difference in the two characters)

10. I have a cheap DVD player I'm not using....
Most folks wouldn't even notice the skips and stickie spots as anything new.

I'm willing to donate for the "cause" you know.

25. Those two seem interchangable to me
What was the latest outrage from Brit? Something happened recently to show what a true slimeball he is. Anyone remember?

23. I've wondered whether he's planning an exit.
Press secretaries only last a couple of years, at most--the lies must build up like an ulcer on the soul, even for a relatively honest person--and perhaps he doesn't want to be so closely associated with the sinking ship of the * Administration.

Think about Snow having to apply for jobs a year from now. The stink of losing will be all over his lying, whoring ass, and even Fox might snub him.
