Interesting. I knew he was a candidate. He's a very good choice by the president. I'm just surprised he took it. I like Tony Snow. I read him as often as I can in the local Cincinnati paper (he's from here) as well as the Detroit News when I lived there. He's one of the few Fox reporters I've found to actually be 'fair and balanced' taking aim at both sides and lending a modicum of credibility to the journalistic world. I didn't really care for his radio talk show, a little too limbaughesque for my taste. But I still like and respect him.
I'm not sure I would have taken the job. I feel the Bush administration is a sinking ship and unlikely to rebound from it's current woes barring a personality or intelligence epiphany by the president. This is coming from a guy who voted for him twice, and would probably do it again, if only because his opposition was even stupider than he.
But alas, I wish Tony well. (we're tight like that. first name basis) He's always been a straight talker, with no tolerance for bullsh&%. I hope those qualities continue.
