Signs Editorial:

Tony Snow Job

Ask me why I am not surprised. "President Bush on Wednesday named Tony Snow, a conservative pundit who has nonetheless been critical of the administration, as his press secretary-the latest move in Bush's effort to remake his troubled White House," reports MSNBC. "Snow, a Fox News commentator and speech-writer in the White House under Bush's father, has written and spoken frequently about the current president-not always in a complimentary way. While Snow is an experienced Washington hand, he is an outsider when it comes to Bush's tight core of advisers."

Give me a break.

Snow is part of the neocon network and as a smooth talking head over at the Bush Ministry of Disinformation-call it Fox News if you must-he is a natural as "press secretary," or a front man designated to field softball questions from his buddies in the corporate media.

It is interesting MSNBC would claim Snow has criticized Bush-if anything, Snow has criticized other Republicans, most notably Pat Buchanan (an object of hate for neocons far and wide), calling them "members of the bed-wetting right" who "aided and abetted... the political left" when they jumped all over Bush for his response to Hurricane Katrina.

In fact, Katrina served as an excuse to further gut the Posse Comitatus Act, characterized as "very archaic" by Pentagon spokesman Lawrence Di Rita. For the Straussian neocons, the Constitution itself is "archaic" and little more than a "goddamned piece of paper." In the future, the genteel Tony Snow will do a fine job selling Straussian treason.

Of course, the corporate media is tickled pink over the fact Tony Snow was selected to replace Scott McClellan. Now they can all laugh it up and slap backs in the White House press room as Bush-a marionette for the neocons-continues to foist the Straussian nightmare on the nation.
