If reports are true, Fox News continues to be a great breeding ground for the Bush White House, and vice versa: Tony Snow reportedly will become Bush's new press secretary. Snow's a natural choice, since he regularly lies through his teeth (or to be fair, he may simply be an idiot) in his current job. The main difference is that as press secretary he would need to shut up more and be evasive, while as Fox "political analyst" his job is to make up shit as fast as he could to fill airtime.
Snow on high gas prices: the usual causes -- instability in the Middle East blah blah blah -- but then he throws in the slider -- people critiquing Donald Rumsfeld are part of the problem!
But Snow's greatest hit might be his dogged defense of Creationism. He will fit in well with a Bush administration that has no interest in scientific inquiry, other than to stifle it at every turn. After all, these pesky scientists have been getting Bush down for a long time. Global Warming? Fuzzy science! But you have to admit that Bush has found a brilliant way to counteract the weight of the scientific community -- use political hacks to edit their reports!
He will make a fine choice, once the decider has decided.

Fox news is officially a mouthpiece for the administration. Oh, wait. Hasn't it always been one?
I laughed through this entire piece....and yes, I know it's not funny at ALL. Excellent.
