Buyer Beware

Bush has asked a Fox News commentator, Tony Snow, to be his new press secretary. I'll hear lots and lots of jokes about this on the Daily Show tonight. Oh wait. I haven't watched any TV since SNL on Monday; I'm on a TV strike. Well, I look forward to seeing what Jon Stewart has to next when I watch the episode next week.

I'm guessing it will be something like, "Why bother paying him for good coverage?"

Interestingly, Andrew Sullivan notes some pointed critiques Mr. Snow has made about Bush. According to him, Bush has "lost control of the federal budget and cannot resist the temptation to stop raiding the public fisc." Not to mention, "when it comes to federal spending, George W. Bush is the boy who can’t say no." Which I only point out because it will be interesting to hear what he says when he stands in front of the press and starts answering questions.
