For those who watch Snow's press briefings...
I can't stand Tony Snow-how he tries to befriend the reporters, stays after the briefings to "mingle" and talk to reporters, how he smiles when people are asking questions he "just can't answer because" he doesn't want to "tap dance" around something he really doesn't know the answer to," and ESPECIALLY how he KEEPS taking nonchalant sips of whatever he brings to the podium every day while people are asking questions. And we KNOW he gives the Freeper lines on things, like embryonic stem cell research is murder (which he had to back away from after Bolton's horrible interview on MTP). Sorry-just had to let this out. I feel better now. :D

1. Tony "I Don't Know" Snow. He avoids confrontation by pretending ignorance
on the issues he chooses not to discuss. He's also a condescending piece of crap.

2. Exactly...

I HATE how he just says he doesn't know. "I'm not gonna tap dance around. I just don't know." And how 'bout when he told Helen that he's the teacher? Or when he tells people their questions are ridiculous or rejects the premise, etc. YUCK.

ETA: How 'bout when he said many of Bush's signing statements are just "atta boys"? And just yesterday or two days ago he said it's not like he's signing things saying things like, "I don't have to follow this bill" when it's EXACTLY what he's doing?!

3. He's way too smug and dismissive. It's like he's been taking pages out off
the John Bolton playbook.
