Watching Tony Blankley on MTP

[trof]

and trying to picture him as WH press secretary and I just can't make it work.
:shrug:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

1. too many health problems. His heart would not last.

(PS - I'm pulling a Frist)

[Olney Blue]

9. LOL- a video clinician.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

21. If the leader of the senate does, why can't we?

[chieftain]

22. In the times I have seen Fat Tony, I have seen no evidence

that he has a heart.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

23. You are right. I erred. (Psst, George, see how easy that is? you should

try it on the issues of Iraq, Iran, SS, Medicare, Taxes, and more.)

[chieftain]

25. Thank you for providing a lesson that the little prince in the WH

ought to take to heart. Oops.

[TheCowsCameHome]

2. What country is he from? and wasn't he one of Newt's henchmen?

[stellanoir]

3. Are you confusing him with Tony Snow ?

Don't think Blankley is in the running at all.

[trof]

7. Oh. Maybe so. Tony Snow?

[stellanoir]

14. Snow used to be on

Faux News Sunday prior to Chris Wallace. Definately has more personality than Snotty but who doesn't?

Just consider where he's comin' from.

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. I think he means Phony Snow. Blankley is at the Moonie Times

Snow would suck. He's just another RW bum-kisser.

[flyingfysh]

17. so press conferences will be Snow jobs?

[TheCowsCameHome]

19. To remain consistent with the Bush WH policies, they will be.

[0007]

11. He was mentioned for the position.

[trof]

12. I see. This guy:

nevermind

[TheCowsCameHome]

20. This shill was a substitute host for Flush Limbaugh.

Does that answer your question as to where his head is?

[Poiuyt]

30. Both Tony Blankly and Tony Snow have been mentioned for the post

I don't know how seriously they are being considered, but I have heard both names.

[peekaloo]

4. Is he in the running?

At least it would get him off of the McLaughlin Group panel.

[Olney Blue]

5. The job is beneath him- I don't agree with him much,

but he's too smart to shovel manure.

[Cooley Hurd]

6. The editorial page editor of the paper owned by the Moonies...

...is actually being considered by the Bush admin for Press Secretary?

No shit...

[C_U_L8R]

8. He stutters when he lies

that in itself would disqualify him.

[LA lady]

13. wrong Tony

I think it's between Tony Snow (who has had colon cancer) and Dan Senor

[flordehinojos]

15. tony blankley, (from england) who is now the editor of some republican

magazine used to hold some post for the republican party a few years back, i think. itwas during the time that haley barbour was the head of the RNC.

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. Wasn't Blankley campaign manager for Gingrich at one time?

[flordehinojos]

28. i just googled blankley, this is what i found,

For seven years, Tony Blankley served as press secretary to then Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Newt Gingrich. In that role, he not only helped create messages which shook the country, he also helped create policy. Blankley’s knack for appetizing soundbites (which he calls his "poor-man’s poetry") and sound political strategy made him one of Washington’s premiere sources of ideas and insights.

Working for the most renowned Speaker in decades, Blankley became one of the leading spokesmen for the Contract with America. Prior to his career on Capitol Hill, Blankley served President Reagan as a speechwriter and senior policy analyst.

After leaving Gingrich’s office in February 1997, Blankley joined the staff of John F. Kennedy Jr.’s George magazine. As a contributing editor, Blankley’s monthly column "Between the Lines" featured his inside-the-beltway insights. Blankley also appears regularly on CNN’s Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer, as well as CNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews, Rivera Live, The News with Brian Williams and MSNBC. In June 1999, Blankley joined The Washington Times as a weekly political columnist. In June 2002, he was named editorial page editor.

The same depth of knowledge and sharp wit that kept reporters turning to him during his time on Capitol Hill have made Blankley one of today’s leading media commentators. His opinions and analysis of political events have been featured on the front pages of The New York Times, USA Today, and other major publications, and he was a syndicated columnist for the Los Angeles Times Syndicate.

(two more paragraphs at link)

Personally. I think the guy is as despicable as haley barbour.

[ktlyon]

18. Has he learned to say the name of our country yet?

there is no "R" at the end of America (Americur?) I think he thinks we are dogs, and he has no respect for anyone.

[AlCzervik]

24. "Fat" Tony in his pimp wear, french cuffs and pastel shirt today as usual?

Imo when i hear the phrase "Fat Cat" he is the first picture i get in my head, he looks like everything thats wrong with politics today.

[trof]

26. And I bet you didn't even peek. Yep.

[AlCzervik]

27. i didn't because we don't press the meat until 4:00pm here, our nbc

affiliate apparently thinks we here in Norcal don't care about news.

[frankenforpres]

29. fat tony would be awesome

he would be like cj craig with all the questions he would have to field about what designer he was wearing


dan senor would be the smart choice, so i dont expect it to happen
