Snow in May

Ladies and gentlemen, copy and paste what you are about to read and save it for reprint in the history books one day. You won't often hear me say this (or type it, for that matter), but...I was wrong.

A few days ago I commented on the White House shake-up and said that I expected nothing substantive to come of it. It seemed to be a show for the media. Instead, the Bush administration has addressed what is, unquestionably, its most obvious vulnerability: communication.

Today it has been confirmed by several news agencies that Tony Snow will be replacing White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan in two weeks.

Snow, a former George H.W. Bush speech writer and popular Fox News journalist, is the perfect man to articulate the administration's policy objectives. He has a quiet yet tough and humorous way of getting his point across. He never backs down, and when you think you have him nailed to the wall, he turns the tables and you quickly realize that he is the one holding the hammer. Most importantly, he is a well-known person that the American people can trust - which is just what this administration needs. The White House Press Corps will have one hell of a time trying to get the experienced politico/journalist to give them sound bites they can twist.

This is a great day for Republicans, as we now have a trustworthy, likeable man charged with the responsibility of articulating our viewpoints and causes.
