1. This story just confirms my theory about Tony Snow's cancer:
It left of its own accord, not wanting to have its name ruined by being associated with Tony Snow.

4. I saw the exchange
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

Smith must have borrowed a spine somewhere because he had one with him. Snowjob sure had his nerve, getting indignat at the inference that he and his handlers would ever tell anything but the truth.

11. That was "faux outrage".. It's one of their regular "debating"
techniques. When they think a discussion is "getting out of hand" they swoon like your great aunt Harriet and catch the vapors..

5. Harry Smith has been a longtime Reagan/Bush enabler. If they have lost
him, the rats are deserting the ship, big time.

12. that's what is interesting to me, there's no way Snow
was going to go on a show that he thought this would happen on. He must have felt that Harry would be sypathetic to him and when he wasn't he made that

"You are sounding like a partisan instead of a reporter."

What happened is that Snow wasn't getting his way to have all the time to get their talking points out, time to blame politics (something the WH never does, it's only is forced to play 'politics' because of those damn obstructionist dems.)

Which demonstrates very clearly that whenever this admin hears ANYTHING that goes against their line, they immediately blame partisanship, even when it is a reporter.

10. That was great...
...Tony Snow came off as the smarmy, oily person he is. I liked the last word, where Snow said "wouldn't you like to get the truth?" and Smith said "Certainly. You owe it to me."

13. Unfortunately, truth is "partisan"
or "liberal." I have never heard as many complaints about truth as from this moronic administration.

14. Snow wasn't salivating over investigating Clinton's PRIVATE life?
But yet no one dare question Der Fuhrer on matters of national security and violations of the US Constitution!

15. Tony Snow sounds like a used-car salesman more and more everyday.
Harry actually seemed disgusted.

16. Talking points:
- You're sounding partisan.
- You're not supporting the troops.
- You're unpatriotic.
- You hate America.
- Okay, Macaca, why don't you go back to wherever you came from?

17. That sounded like
they might actually be in trouble.

Up until now i have not believed they could be flipped onto the defensive- they have suceeded so long with lying as a form of defense. But when Harry Smith is not buying it, Snow starts to melt. This is getting good.

18. 'Chutzpah' doesn't begin to describe SnowJob's arrogance
Perhaps those with more knowledge of Yiddish can provide a better word for such an outrageous statement.

19. Why the fuck can't any Democrat (besides Dean) cut off the question like that?
All of them fall into the question assumptions and get fucked (and fuck us) in the process.
