Well Tony Snow has become a lost soul – lecturing the Press and spouting Republican shill. I kind of miss old Scott McClellan who said absurd things, but at least it looked like it hurt. Snow looks like he enjoys it. This is a career ending job, Tony. There’s no comeback from this. Get out while you still have your looks.
And then there was a re-run of last night’s Daily Show with Jon Stewart and John Bolton. Remember how they used to come out in force with Talking Points – Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Powell. There ranks are thinned or discredited now, so they role out John Bolton who at least left office without being shamed. Otherwise, Bolton’s spending time with his usual – fomenting war with Iran. They’re digging pretty deep. Pretty soon, they’ll be down to Laura Bush and… Well they’ll be down to the faithful few.
I was surprised Jon had Bolton on the show. The point of the Talking Point system isn’t to be agreed with, it’s just to get the message out to the faithful. I think it’s remarkable that they think the faithful might be watching the Daily Show! And, what a dumb Talking Point it is. They’re saying that Rove and Miers are close advisors to the President and they wouldn’t be able to give good advice if they had to testify to Congress and by the way, Bush doesn’t recall knowing about the Attorneys being fired. Ergo: his non-advice giving advisors wouldn’t feel free to advise him which, by the way, they didn’t do in the first place unless, of course, they did advise him but he doesn’t recall that they did it – blah blah blah.
