Snow's gaggle: "Are you ever going to -- always going to tell the truth?"

[Rose Siding]

He's in the weeds. snips from transcript:

QUESTION: How are you going to make this administration more credible?

TONY SNOW: I'm not going to answer questions about credibility, other than to say that I'm eager to be here and I'm happy to be working with you.

QUESTION: Are you ever going to -- always going to tell the truth?

TONY SNOW: Yes.
...
QUESTION: I'd like -- this was 9:00 a.m., then it was pushed back to 9:30 a.m., and then I walk in at 9:20 a.m., and it's already well underway.

QUESTION: Do not do that again.

QUESTION: This isn't good.

TONY SNOW: Well, this is -- it's my fault. And it had to do with vagaries of the schedule today, and I apologize, period.

QUESTION: Because we've missed half of it. This is the first one you're doing, and I just feel like --

TONY SNOW: Well, I apologize. That's just flat my fault......

QUESTION: I was here, sitting out here in the hallway. I can't even hear any of this conversation.

TONY SNOW: Okay, well, I'll tell you what we will do then is we will move it back into the Briefing Room. I had this wonderful idea that this would be nice and collegial and relaxed, but it obviously at this point is just a mess.

2. It's still a tap dance. Just the dancer has changed.

4. NOT going to answer ? about credibility?! then close up shop

[tanyev]

5. "Collegial"?

Were you trying to see how many journalists you could squeeze into your office, Tony?

[Supersedeas]

7. Collegial for caligula or call it lying ya

[Sequoia]

[tridim]

6. Snowjob isn't going to last long..

Even if his boss is impeached next year.

8. So, deliberately use your "newness" to foul up the whole thing - so you

don't have to get into any actual question/answers about all the scandals.

Think about what the press could have asked about just today, if this hadn't been so botched up.

[linazelle]

12. Mission accomplished!

:sarcasm:

[Rose Siding]

13. I think it's just more incompetence

It could be avoidance of the q's or a chance to see how far he can push them, but even if it were that's still incompetent- he just antagonized them and should have known he would.

9. "I had this wonderful idea that this would be nice...."

"And then you go and ruin it with your talking!! We can't have nice things!"

Did Snow then well up with tears, turn his back, and scream, "Just go away, I can't deal with your right now!" while he was at it?

[paparush]

10. TONY SNOW: I'm not going to answer questions about credibility

END OF STORY.

SAME SHIT, DIFFERENT DAY....

11. There IS NO CREDIBILITY to defend.

Period.
