DC Tom Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Do you the reader like, trust, or even respect Tony Snow? Undecided, no, yes. And the "no" is through no fault of his own, really. His job description is "lie". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Can't say, not really and yeah, a little bit. I mean, he did make it into a prestigious job, so he must be doing SOMETHING right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Undecided, no, yes. And the "no" is through no fault of his own, really. His job description is "lie". Funny, I was thinking Yes, No, No. Put some shades on the guy and he is Max Headroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Funny, I was thinking Yes, No, No. Put some shades on the guy and he is Max Headroom. I don't know if I like him or not, I haven't met him. I find his press conferences entertaining...but that's different from liking "him". I do respect him, though, because he has a generally difficult job (shoveling other people's sh--), and does it fairly well. Generally, though, I'm never going to trust anyone connected with the government, including myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I don't know the man personally so liking him isn't an issue. I respect all White House Press Secretary's because it takes skill to make lemonade out of lemons, which is their main job. By default you can't really trust any press secretary to give "the whole truth", they only give the spin they're told to give. But with Tony Snow in particular he comes across as a smart-alack who is prone to make faces whenever he doesn't like the questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with Tony Snow in particular he comes across as a smart-alack who is prone to make faces whenever he doesn't like the questions. Press secretaries have a relationship with the media - this is particularly true for the White House PS and the White House media pool, who work together pretty closely on a daily basis. The daily White House press briefing is, therefore, hardly an anonymous meeting with unexpected twists and turns...if Snow's making annoying facial expressions at the reporters asking questions, I'd put money on him just doing it to mess with the reporters, and not as an actual expression of...well, anything, really.

Alaska Darin Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I don't trust anyone who's basically a politician or a member of the media. Snow is both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNRed Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I respect Snow if only because he's so much more competent than the guys that came before him. And he deserves some credit for waking up every morning, knowing he's going to work to see David Gregory and Helen Thomas every day, and not putting a shotgun in his mouth.

Yes! Exactly! How dare those devils point out Bush's lies! What is their problem? Bush is great, Bush is...is...almost God like! Liberals don't get that. They look at Iraq and see a disaster. What idiots! Long haired freaks can't be right about anything, especially when then disagree with a real man like Bush. I hate them! Bush looks good, those liberals look ugly! Real ugly, how can they be right? I also hate the truth, but whatever. Bush is great, Cheney is a close second and the liberal media is a conspiracy against Bush. I think that's the only reason it was created, i.e. to expose Conservative lies, which really are not lies, they are just counter factual interpretations of reality based on faith, and faith is something liberals, the media, 66% of of the American public, Europe and Canada, especially Canada!!!! are lacking! God bless President Bush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Definitely don't trust him or believe a word he says, but I respect him, and kinda like him. I like him more than I did when he was a newsman and commentator. And I'm obviously no conservative. He's actually very good at his present job, which is an impossible one. And the best at it I have seen since Mike McCurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 I feel obligated to answer as well here... I think he's a snake (all whitehouse press secretaries are...to an extent) but I think it's VERY cool that he plays in a band and has jammed with Ian Anderson (lead singer from Jethro Tull) and the guitarist who played for both Steely Dan AND the Doobie Brothers... just though I'd throw that fun factoid out there!

Chilly Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Do you the reader like, trust, or even respect Tony Snow? - No opinion on whether I like him or not. I don't really know the guy, so I can't say. - Hell no I don't trust him. Trusting someone in that position is "ludacris". - Yes, I do respect him, on a professional level.
