“You know, Congress has the power of the purse,” Snow said, then added: “The President has the ability to exercise his own authority if he thinks Congress has voted the wrong way.”
–White House spokesman Tony Snow to reporters when asked about Congress and President George Bush’s impending announcement that he will decide on a “surge” (escalation) in the Iraq War.
and snow crowns king george
can we bring back the guillotine?
These kinds of comments aren’t at all surprising from this administration. That’s the real problem.
Tony Snow is the most shameless mouthpiece to every hold that job. Requirement:
1) Will say anthing he’s told to without resorting to “facts”
2) Will back the President even if Bush is caught eating babies in the Oval Office
3) Sleeps well at night while doing so
The comment is true and it is true of every president and mouthpiece to hold the office. Ever. Nothing shameless about putting spin on what your boss tells you to spin…..its called POLITICS. people do it for a living and enjoy it.
