Snow Job's First Decision? Whether To Pull The Plug on WH Briefings!

[leftchick]

I just heard on KO's show that Josh Bolton has left the decision of whether or not to televise the WH briefings any longer to Tony Snow! :wow:

As Joe Lockhart commented in the segment, it shows the WH still does not get it.

1. Oh, they get it

You'll just have to switch over to Fox to watch the briefings, that's all. Once the footage has been tightly edited to reflect well on the Great Dictator, uh, Decider.

9. That is the absolute truth

A softer, gentler, "marketdriven" form of facism

[stepnw1f]

2. Of Course.... He Has No Spine

and doesn't want America seeing the man's true stripes. Just like the rest of 'em.

3. Question is, are the talking heads getting it?

Why pay a lot of people if only one script gets on air? Singing Karl's talking points is a sure fire way to just disappear off the screen!

7. Steve from C-span compared it to the Kremlin news

it is truly amazing they have the balls to try this. I don't know if this will fly.

4. Why should a dictatorship give briefings? The Kremlin never did...

Snow gets it very well indeed.

8. Exactly

[acmejack]

5. This just enrages me!

This is just so UNAMERICAN I guess so many things are now days...

10. the report gave a background on the history of WH briefings

apparently it was not until the Clinton administration that the full videotaped WH briefings were given with Mike McCurry. Now what a perfect setup for the bush** WH to abolish them as "quaint".

:grr:

[katty]

6. heard that Bolton wanted this-and if he does SO DOES TONY

11. Sorry to sound so pessimistic, but this is a done deal..

So when Snowjob pulls the plug on the daily briefing keep these phone numbers and e-mail addresses in mind:

White House Switchboard: 202-456-1414
White House Comment Line: 202-456-1111
White House Fax: [phone]
E-mail for Chimpy: [email protected]
E-mail for Cheney: [email protected]

Flood them with phone calls, faxes and e-mails. :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

12. But, but, but - then - no Tony on teeveee?

Just as they found a camera friendly stooge, they pull him from the spotlight? Will Tony agree?

[leftchick]

14. ah, there is the rub!

Tony without a camera??? I don't think it will be his decision after all.

13. Too many goddamn "facts" in those PDBs...

No room for the Truth with facts in there.

[heartofthesiskiyou]

15. Good.. This will set the stage for the tenor

of his new job. Go ahead, MAKE MY DAY
