 David Rossie Commentary |
The White House press secretary change has given new meaning to the term "snow job." And it may be more than a matter of going from lower case to upper case.
By pulling the hapless Scott McClellan who was being pounded by a suddenly aggressive White House press corps, and sending Tony Snow in as a long relief man, administration strategists may have concluded that a good offense is the best defense of their crumbling castle of lies and deception.
For months, Cheney and Bush were content to send poor McClellan out to repeat their lies or simply refuse comment, and it worked on a passive press corps. They even got away for a while with planting a male prostitute disguised as a reporter in the audience to lob softball questions at McClellan.
But eventually, public discontent with the way that pack of incompetents was running the country and a misbegotten war became so palpable that the watchdogs turned lap dogs could no longer ignore the mood that was abroad in the land. . "
