Bush's Press Secretary Is Raising Money, and Some Eyebrows
By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG
October 16, 2006

ST. CHARLES, Ill. - Tony Snow draped his lanky frame across a wooden
lectern, leaned forward and gazed out at 850 adoring Republicans who
had paid $175 apiece to hear him speak. There was a conspiratorial
gleam in his eye, as if he was about to reveal some deep inner secret
from his new life as the White House press secretary.

"Yesterday," Mr. Snow declared, "I was in the Oval Office with
the president --"

He cut himself off, took a perfectly calibrated three-second pause and
switched into an aw-shucks voice for dramatic effect: "I just looove
saying that! Yeaaah, I was in the Oval Office. Just meeee and the
president. Nooooobody else." The crowd lapped it up.

Live from the suburbs of Chicago - It's the Tony Snow
Outside-the-Beltway Hour! Memo to White House press corps: you can't
catch this show in the briefing room.

In the six months since Mr. Bush enlisted him to resuscitate a White
House press operation that was barely breathing, Mr. Snow, a former Fox
News television and radio host and a conservative commentator, has
reinvented the job with his snappy sound bites and knack for deflecting
tough questions with a smile. Now, he is reinventing it yet again, by
breaking away from the briefing room to raise money for Republicans, as
he did here on Saturday night for Speaker J. Dennis Hastert.

Mr. Snow, who will make 16 such appearances before Election Day,
acknowledged he had entered "terra incognita"; to his knowledge, no
other White House press secretary has raised money for political
candidates while in the job. But with his star power from television
and his conservative credentials, Mr. Snow, unlike his predecessors, is
in hot demand.

His booking agent is the White House political shop, run by Karl Rove,
the president's chief strategist. ...

Here was Mr. Snow on working in the White House: "The most exciting,
intellectually aerobic job I'm ever going to have." On the nature
of the American soul after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11: "There
is an ember of greatness burning in every heart." On the intellectual
acumen of his boss: "He reminds me of one of those guys at the gym
who plays about 40 chessboards at once."

Evidently chess is considered athletic now; after all, there are
poker and domino tournaments on ESPN.

Just after explaining the game to them???

Mr. Snow is to President Bush as Larry Parr is to Dato Tan.

On the nature
of the American soul after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11: "There

acumen of his boss: "He reminds me of one of those guys at the gym

It appears President Bush is America's Ostap Bender.

Yeah, I know guys like that. They play 40 boards at once, but they
lose on 39 of them.
