Snowblind

In what in some ways a match made in heaven, the Prez announced today that FOX News commentator Tony Snow will be replacing Scotty-Boy McClellan as White House press secretary. The Washington Post claims that he'll be more than just an administration mouthpiece but will also have a say in developing policy. We'll have to wait and see how that works out.

Although Snow has been a reliably conservative voice in the past, he hasn't blindly followed the Prez wherever he might go. ThinkProgress has helpfully compiled a compendium of statements Snow has made about the Prez. Here are a couple of my favorites:

"George Bush has become something of an embarrassment." [11/11/05]

"The English Language has become a minefield for the man, whose malaprops make him the political heir not of Ronald Reagan, but Norm Crosby." [8/25/00]

In another post added this morning, ThinkProgress has also put together a similar list of Snow's statements on the issues.
