According to sources, Bush Presidential Press Secretary Tony Snow is jumping from Bush’s sinking ship like that rat he is. In a radio interview Snow said “I’m not going to be able to go the distance, but that’s primarily for financial reasons. I’ve told people when my money runs out, then I’ve got to go.” So Snow, like so many of GOP politicians that leave public service, is leaving for the money. So much for doing your duty for your country.
I would understand if Snow has said he was leaving for health reasons. After all he has battled cancer for a second time and has come out on the winner’s side. Snow cited his kids pending college tuition as one reason to quit. But at the $186,000 he makes per year Snow was not exactly hurting. There are many Americans that would be happy to make that kind of money as they get ready to send their kids to college.
So maybe its not the money. Maybe Snow is sick and tired of going in front of the American people and lying his ass off. On any given day Snow has had to lie a multitude of times. Maybe Snow is sick of Bush’s fake conservatism. Snow after all is a card carrying Reagan conservative, whatever that means.
Regardless of the reason, Karl Rove and Snow have now jumped from the sinking ship just like a rat does. The question now is who is next.
Another GOP rat jumps off the U.S.S. Bushtanic!

Snow isn’t tired of “lying his ass off”. He’s just tired of doing it and not getting enough money.

Dear N, “fake conservatism” is right on. Tony isn’t the only one tired of it. When he had to go one-on-one with Hannidy over the immigration amnesty issue, I think at that moment he decided to find a way to ease out. He was forced to defend an indefensible position or, as you enjoy saying, lie.
Snow isn’t a bad fellow; GW certainly doesn’t deserve him.

The White House went from Blow-Jobs to Snow-Jobs. Which of those did the American republic the most harm?
