Nothing about Scott McLellan's resignation? At least he hasn't said he wants to spend more time with the family (read: under investigation). I was thinking how funny it would be if Pappa Bear O'Reilly was Press Secretary. Frank; he's so smart he can't work the remote control! hehe Oliver, I’m surprised at you.

One big factor in Snow’s favor is that the Bush administration seems to like all things Fox News, as evidenced by the recent release of Vice President Cheney’s list of requests during hotel stays. One is that all TVs in his suite be tuned to the Fox News Channel.

No wonder he’s so smart!

One thing that Bush admin press secretary and Faux newsheads have in common is that both need to lie as a job requirement.
