{b}Tony Snow Signals His Resignation, Plus ‘A Couple’ More ‘Coming Up In The Next Month’
Think Progress


"After the recent resignation of Karl Rove, media outlets speculated on what the rest of President Bush’s term will look like without “the Architect.” The President is “fighting lame duck status,” reported the AP. In response, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow shot back: “As the president has said many times, he’s going to sprint to the tape.”

But even Tony Snow doesn’t want to be around for that sprint. In an interview with the conservative Hugh Hewitt show, Snow signaled that he will not stay until the end of the term. He also mentioned that there are “probably a couple” of other high-level resignations “coming up in the next month or so.”

HEWITT: Are there any other resignations upcoming, Tony Snow?

SNOW: I think that probably…as Josh said the other day, he thinks there are probably a couple coming up in the next month or so. <…>

....SNIP"

1. Tony Snow is leaving because he is tired and cranky

[applegrove]

6. and obviously very ill with cancer.

[MADem]

12. Yes, that's the REAL reason. And yes, he's a shill, but I don't wish that on ANYONE.

I feel sad for his family that he's so sick and will likely die.

[applegrove]

15. Nope.

[Fridays Child]

2. The rats may be deserting the sinking ship but Rove will still be a stowaway.

8. I actually believe Karl left because he wants to share his dark arts with the world

again and was being gagged by the WH because of all his failures.

[Fridays Child]

9. Hmm. Could be.

[applegrove]

10. It is just a feeling at this point. But all he tried did fail. Couldn't have been

much fun for him to not be able to run the perpetual campaign.

[The Count]

3. He managed to disgrace the end of his life...As for the rest, contractors await!

Time to make the money they enabled the rich to steal...

[Fridays Child]

5. I wonder if Tony will have a "Lee Atwater" moment.

n/t

[MADem]

13. Well, he's just the mouthpiece, not the operative. It's Rove that needs one of those. NT
