Tony Snow: Recovering Fox News host?
If Al Gore is a "recoving politician" I suppose it would be fair to say that Tony Snow is a recovering Fox News host for his Freudian slip during Wednesday's White House press briefing. Check out the following response between the questioner and the respondee.
I had no idea that ABC was a "competing network" to the the Bush White House. Had Hagle made the same comment on, oh say Fox News would have Snow referred to it as a "sister network?"
Q Okay. But, I mean, maybe it was a terrific meeting. As far as I can tell, that has not stopped Republicans, particularly in the House, from going gangbusters against this President before they've had a chance to read everything, as you say they should do.
MR. SNOW: Well, as I pointed out -- I mentioned this yesterday, and for -- let me see if I can find my quote, because I pulled it out. Chuck Hagel, as you may recall, made a fair amount of news over the weekend when he first said that -- let's see -- "Well, I want to listen to the details and I want to listen to the President," said Senator Hagel -- he said this on "This Week" on a competing network.[Emphasis added.] But I would say this: I think we have to be very careful here. That's not the role of our military, that's not the role of our National Guard." That's what Senator Hagel said on Sunday.

At least with McClellan you could count on good, old-fashioned talking points.
It must be a lot more fun to cover the White House these days. Snow's gaffes in the first week probably outnumber those made by the overly-cautious McClellan over his last six months.
