Snow Job

Is anyone else as massively pissed as I am that we have a spokesrat for Faux on the taxpayer-paid payroll for the White House now?

All day long, I've heard the question, "will a new spokesman, Mr. Snow from Fox News, buoy the credibility of Mr. Bush and his flagging poll numbers?"

Excuse me? Fox only has credibility with people who do not want to be bothered with independent thought because Faux will tell them what to think, how to respond, and when to cheer or boo. Snow can only help Mr. Bush with his base which is also shrinking.

I also heard what a nice thing it was that Mr. Snow was willing to take such a big pay cut to earn "only" $166K and change as WH spokesrat. Why the hell does the job pay so much, in the first place, and why should we pay him to lie to us? Everyone knows this job is a ticket to much more money and power.
