Can We Put Tony Snow Under Oath, Too?

tsr-snow.jpg ...maybe that way we can finally get a straight answer out of the guy. Today on "The Situation Room" FOX News pundit Press Secretary Tony Snow tried to explain away the Senate Democrats' call for a Special Prosecutor to investigate Alberto Gonzalez's deliberately misleading lies accidental misstatements under oath.

According to Snow, the administration has been more than cooperative when it comes to the Senate inquiry into the politically-motivated firing perfectly benign dismissal of the US Attorneys. Can someone remind Tony Snow that the White House refuses to let Harriet Miers and Karl Rove testify under oath? Or that they refuse to produce the 5 MILLION+ emails directly relating to the scandal that mysteriously "vanished"? Or... oh, never mind.

John Amato: Tony Snow accused the Democrats of possibly committing treason. He said they might try to play the gotcha game and expose classified secrets to the media if his peeps actually agreed to testify.

Snow: Suppose behind closed doors, where Karl Rove or anybody else would be under a legal obligation to tell the truth, they found something that gave them pause. They could public with it

And if you listen closely----(am I hearing things?) does he suggest that there's another secret spying program going on.  TSP or NSA? Are they one in the same? (transcript below the fold)

BLITZER: Now here's the other problem the attorney general has. A stunning development today. The FBI director, Robert Mueller, also contradicting what Alberto Gonzales says.

SNOW: Well, a classic example of what I'm talking about, Wolf.

If you go back and you look at the transcript, you've got a member of Congress talking about the terrorist surveillance program.

Go back and look at the transcript.

Does Bob Mueller once use the phrase "terrorist surveillance program?"

I'll save you the wait. The answer is no. He talks about an NSA program. It's exactly what I'm talking about, which is that members of Congress are trying to create controversies about highly classified matters, some of which cannot, should not and must not be discussed publicly. And it forces people to give very careful answers that could very easily be twisted by folk on the other side of the aisle.

DAAAAAAMN! Snowjob is looking real bad. He needs to lay off the spin. His body can't fight cancer AND pure evil at the same time.

Good luck with that.

Oh please yes PLEASE put Snotty Snow under....anything!

Dude, I think I peed myself when I read this!! http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=axLZRWwbDgq0&refer=home

Rove subpoena'd! Who cares about Snow, he's nobody. Rove is the turdblossom special that needs his....nevermind, you get my jive.

I didn't vote for impeachment, but niether did Barack...nanner nanner.

Why don't they ever do a "Reality Check" lead-in video for these guys?

Most people when they have a brush with death, Like Snowjob's cancer, they come away with wanting to live a better life. Not Snowjob. He lies more now than before his cancer diagnosis. In fact the snowjob is so thick his hair is turning white.

The high price of stress!

You think it's easy to lie on a continual basis?

These guys are assholes from the word go.

I held my breath and turned on Fox Opinion.

Hume and his panel all agreed the ganzo testimony was just a bunch of confusion.

Confusion, that all it is.

Changed the channel.

Geez.

As long as the tv host is a push over, afraid of offending any of their guests because they might not come back on. There won't be any tough questions or accountability thrown at people like Tony.

I think we ought to have the men in white storm this entire administration with Straight Jackets. Do we have enough? was the funding cut? Crap.

Does tony believe what he spews or is a lying sack of shit? Most likely the latter.

andotech @ 13:

Stop denegrating sacks of shit.

Gotta wonder about a guy who's fighting cancer, yet still dutifully peddles his bosses' colossal lies and delusions every day. He doesn't have a colon and his tumors have metasticized. He's a poor bet to live more than a few more years.

If I were looking at death in the mirror every day like this guy, I'd want to cut the bullshit.

But that's just me.

Sometimes I feel like comparing conversations with the white house press secretary, or indeed Alberto, with the dead parrot skit from Monty Python . .

Someone tell me again, where is the cancer in Snowjob located?
If not in his brain orignally, it is sad indeed to see that it has spread
there.

Wow

Wow

Wow

Wow

what a tough break for Tony Snow! first he serve Fox Opinion and now the whitehouse. The dark force is all he knows!

I think Tony should just blow out of here. He is a stinking liar.

Wolf is a great listener.

Snow is making Fox News proud.

Why didn't Wolf just ask "If these administration officials have nothing to hide, then why resist answering under oath?"

And I loved how whiney Tony got, kinda funny!

Hey! When did Max Headroom get appointed as Press Secretary!?!

The Bush administration is a cancer on America. Snow-job is at the center of the tumor, how can he not be affected? The chemotherapy required to eradicate both Tony's cancer and America's cancer is going to be equally painful, but hopefully done in time to save both.

'the situation room' what a comical vertigo layout
needs more scrolling banners - perhaps down the sides across the top -
what is with the big ouija table Wolfe stands aside

why ask the talking points prop for issue illumination?

Tony looks horrible these days... he would be well-advised to pull an Ari Fleischer and Scotty McClellan and bail on Dumbya. Lying all day every day can't be good for one's physical constitution - not to mention the karma.

Because they were using the RNC server for emailing. Against the Presidential Records Act - oh yeah, they "lost" those emails.

oppps! Doesn't look good for Gonzo! a href=http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Mueller_contradicts_Gonzales_0726.html> FBI Director Robert Mueller told Congress today the confrontation in then-Attorney General John Ashcroft's hospital room in 2004 was over the controversial surveillance program.

Put Snowjob under oath? For what? He lies, he get sentenced to serve jail time for his lies, Bush commutes his sentence. There is going to be a pattern here.

I believe he's a pathological liar. Lying causes him no stress...(trying) to tell the truth WOULD cause him stress. He lacks sufficient skills for self-examination and introspection to even determine what the truth IS, much less to care whether he disregards it. He reminds me of my brother...a tool in every sense of the word.

God I love Kieth Olberman. Must see TV.

hey!! how the heck do you do links in this new format anyway?

Then Fred Thompson raises the money to pay Snowies legal fees.

I admire Snow's resolve, he's a good soldier.
He's gravely ill, yet will spend what time he has left defending the indefensible for the undeserving who will, ultimately, prove to be ungrateful.

ahhhhhhh-hah!

Udon Nomee @ 25:

My first thought was the two bolts protruding from the sides of his neck with a staircase behind him that rises revealing a fire breathing dragon underneath.

I saw Tony spin this live. All democrats fault eh? Too many people say otherwise, that Alberto is not telling the truth.

Repubs impeached Clinton on perjury. Yet when it comes to perjury for one their own? It's nothing...

It’s like these people are operating a banana republic. It’s time to throw them in jail!!! We are a nation of laws, damn it!

Man can this liar wiggle around the subject. I see a frog march parade acomin.

Dems should stop using the tired excuse that they can't go forward because repugs will be out of office by the time indictments are handed out. Do they really think repugs are going to stop their bs just because they aren't in office? Grow some ta-tas dems.

Stop being complice in repugs' wrongdoings.

repugs are liars from birth

Holy Shit. MSNBC is saying that AP is reporting that the army blocked doctors from investigating whether Pat tillman was MURDERED!!!! Not accidentally shot but FRAGGED!!! DAMN, I guess all the rumours GIs were talking about was true!!C&L this is big. Olberman is talking to Wesley Clark now!

Back to Snowjob. He says that Gonzo could not answer in detail because it was too secret for open session. Why the hell didn’t Gonzo just say that?
No need to answer.

Go to YouTube and watch (a younger) Wolf Blitzer get smacked-down by Norman Finklestein.

Now Keith is saying that the cheese/wire/bomb airplane bullshit is just that…. Bullshit. Again! Ohhhh man… Why am I not surprised?

Oh, good. For a minute there, I thought this was turning into Hos'nDawgs.com.

Tony Snowjob:

You testify to Congress you're under a legal obligation to tell the truth

Somebody call a wwwaaambulance. Poor Tony can't stomach having to tell the truth.

Tony Snowjob:

If they wanted to find the truth, they could get it

Translation: Just look at how your talks with Gonzo went when we gave him to you. We'll give you a million more like him but they won't even be under oath. Suckers.

Tony Snowjob:

We're confident of the veracity of the Attorney General's testimony

Translation: What did I tell ya, suckers? ;)

Why hasn't this been posted? Several days ago I warned not to trust Arlen Specter and that as soon as the Democrats tried to actually do anything about the growing scandals at the Bushevic Justice Department he would do a 180 degree flip. Well here it is:

Senator Specter criticizes Schumer's motives

Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) had asked Gonzales questions about the need for a special prosecutor on Tuesday. But he criticized his Democratic counterparts for threatening a special investigation in a subsequent press conference Thursday afternoon.

He singled out Senator Schumer, calling him 'precipitous' and suggesting that the New York Democrat, who chairs the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, was thinking about his party's political fortunes and seeking headlines.

"Where there are matters that tend to the committee, customarily Senator [Patrick] Leahy and I have conferred about them," he added. "The fact that [Leahy] has not signed [the letter] is highly significant."

Schumer also held out the possibility that confusion may be driving the controversy over Gonzales' testimony, with the Attorney General having grounds for speaking of 'intelligence activities' other than the Terrorist Surveillance Program.

"I think Judiciary needs to look at it because we've got to get to the facts," the Judiciary Committee's Ranking Republican added.

During the earlier press conference, Senator Schumer hedged on whether Senator Specter would join the four Democrats in calling for a Special Prosecutor.

"Senator Specter, you can read his testimony yesterday [sic], and we'll just have to see," the New York Democrat said, pointing out that Schumer was not in Washington at the very moment.

When will Liberal websites stop taking Specter's substance free bloviating seriously and call him out on it?

Get real, Press Secretaries are paid to lie for their respective Administrations.

and Tony is one of the best.

The 'LIAR IN CHIEF's' falsetto voice is out of my hearing range. Can anyone tell me if he is saying anything close to the truth.

Finally got to the end of Wolfie and Tony and Snow’s last comment was so smarmy I want to puke.
Did I tell you that I hate these guys?

What I love is that he talks about looking at the transcript to verify what was said, YET the WH consistently fights having a transcript precisely so Dems CANNOT do that.

And did you like Snow's response when Blitzer mentioned a comment from Paul Begala? As if Begala is so much more biased than Snow is.

Ol' Tony forgets he doesn't work at Faux News any more...

Snows response to Pau; Begala was SO funny. He had no argument against him - he just had the knee jerk reaction of "Come ooooooon! Begala? Come ooon! Paul Begala?!" Snow seemed like he was trying to come up with a reason why using Begala was a bad idea, but he was stuck.

if you remember back when the leaders were being briefed, the whitehouse was threatening them, to keep the meeting secret. they could not discuss the meeting with their staffs, other congressmen, nobody. they were intimidated by the bush thugs and caved.

.....Ahhhhhhhhhhh - That's what happened to the Saddam's old Information Minister....

No two Snow-flacks are alike.

Trying to put Snow under oath to tell the truth won't work.

It would be a terrible conflict for him.

The oath he took when he became Bush's mouthpiece required that "I do hereby promise and swear that I will, at all times, lie, obfuscate, deceive, deny, and make all 'misstatements and misleading professions' necessary to support the president's lies, obfuscations, deceptions, denials, misstatements and misleading professions, so help me 'god''.

An oath doesn't mean anything to these scumbags.

I don't wish him dead. That's just plain wrong. I do however wish he would tell the truth. I think it's a great idea to put him under oath 'cause, there is someone over there in the WH telling him how to spin the truth. And I have to agree with a previous post which suggested he might be doing what he is doing to make things easier on his family financially.

Udon Nomee @ 25:

Hey! When did Max Headroom get appointed as Press Secretary!?!

i was just thinking the same thing-- i have never noticed this before, but yes it does appear that matt frewer is working for the bush admin--

Ive never seen tony snows hair so silver.
Never.
Ive never heard tony snows voice so raspy.
Never.

Who did what with tony snow last night???

no, really...

Has anyone check the bathrooms at the White House? It shouldn't come to anyone as a surprise that the Constitution and Bill of Rights are being used as toilet paper in the West Wing. Old Cheney and Bushie have especially dirty asses and might be clogging the old plumbing.

May Mr. Snow enjoy a long and fruitful life.

On the other hand, may Mr. O Reilly...

Per 92, "An oath doesn’t mean anything to these scumbags." This is true, all the administration criminal gang know that Bush can pardon them all before he leaves office.

Unless he is impeached first.

I wonder whether some of these creeps would sing to save their hides if articles of impeachment were passed by the house? They would no longer have the hope of a pardon by Busholini.

Wonder if Bush is trying to figure out how he can pardon himself?

hard to watch Tony -- his lies make me furious

his spin is truly puke-worthy

and he does look very ill so then I feel guilty for what I think of his ethics and morals

I understand what Snow is trying to do BUT
Why are these things so secret? I mean we told Sadam and the rest of the world exactly what day we were sending our troops into Iraq. That, to me, would be something you might want to keep secret. But this... why is this and what seems to be an endless list of things that must be "top secret".
Why?
Wha.... Why???

Has anyone else noticed that Snow is talking a lot faster? His vehement response to the Alberto testimony was also telling. He’s visibly nervous over this whole thing.

he has cancer.

He's sold his soul to lie for the Bush crime family nevertheless, he has his won problems.

I'm glad that Snow is so cooperative; Wolf should just ask him who drew up the list of US Attorneys to fire.

Tony Snow would rather die of cancer than tell the truth about this repugnant dictator in the white house. You have to at least admire their zeal to die for Bush.
Tragic, but..

...the house of Bush is starting to fall...

The White House must be in a real panic because Snowjob was all over the cable stations tonight. My neighbor told me that Tweety was lobbing softballs at him and basically kissing Tony's dimpled arse. We are dreaming if we think that the media is going to do its job and get to the bottom of this story. Their more interested in missing women and going after Obama.

I have contempt for the media. I was told Tweety referred to himself when he was talking to Snobjob as a "journalist." LOL

Tweety is one thing an oportunist without any talent.

I'm inclined to give Snow a bit of a break. His job, the job of any press secretary, is pure propaganda. Unlike Fox, he's not supposed to report the news or give unbiased commentary. Unlike politicians, he has no constituents whose views he is supposed to represent. He, like his predecessors, is supposed to defend the WH, pretty much regardless.

Snow is not the problem. President Bush and most of the rest of the GOP are the problem.

Bob Roberts Says:..."Snow is not the problem. "

No, he's not THE problem but he plays his part. He makes a choice to play his part. He CHOOSES to jprovide cover to those that are destroying the fabric of this country. He helps make it possible. Oh yeah, if it weren't him, it would be some other unprincipled hack; that is irrelevant.

Renideo @ 16:

I think you mean the Argument Clinic:

"You just contradicted me!"

"I never!"

"Yes you did!"

"When?"

"Just now!"

"No, no, no!"

When Tony Snow's time comes, whether it be sooner or later, I would wager the maggots refuse to indulge themselves in the flesh of this most rotten bastard whore of the highest order. By the way his daughter is dirty who.. who could give her father a run for his money on fellatio scores, even Rover could attest to this.

Tony's the biggest liar I've ever seen. He was given a second chance in life and he's more snake oil salesmanish than ever

"Accidental misstatements?" Is there any incident, major or minor, that WH staffers can ever be held accountable for, at any conceivable level of accountability?

I can't believe no one cited this in Snow's diatribe:

""We've made Karl Rove available to that committee under conditions where he's going to tell the truth"

Why didn't Blitzer go after Snow about this statement? As far as I'm concerned, he's just said that any other condition, Rove would NOT tell the truth.

Acck. Pooey.

"if they wanted the truth, they could get it"

Well, no, Tony, no one can get the fucking truth out og this administration. period. What's worse for you - telling your kids you have cancer and may not pull through, or telling your kids you lie to every american every night?

Actually, based on Gonzo's testimony, and Meuller's testimony, I just assume that there is at least one more secret spying program we don't know about yet. Their answers seem, to me at least, to be carefully worded to leave that door open without going through. If Gonzo says the gang of 8 was not briefed on the TSP, he could always come back and say he was mistaken, they were briefed on the TSP, it was the the other, more intrusive program he was thinking of. Maybe I'm just hearing things, but the way they've been constructing their answers about the TSP makes me think there's more behind the curtain.

Much as I think Snow is another abberrant genus of human, a couple of things occurred as to what's going on with him.
He's on chemo. He is tired of feeling physically lousy for such a long time and that in itself, this draining physical illness depresses the mind.
He is grieving the loss of his wife and young children.
He's sad and he's pissed.

It's tough to maintain anger at him this way.

"Tony Snow accused the Democrats of possibly committing treason."

so is it not a coincidence that almost all of the cleaning house in all branches of the government have found mostly Republicans at fault and caught either red handed or with their hands in the cookie jar. Sure Democrats are not perfect (BY FAR) it just seems like fewer of them are getting court orders and jail sentences than their "conservative" counterparts. I think it is un-american and professionally unethical what tony stands for. when all is said and done, i can see him holding his hands up saying "i was only playing a character like Stephen Colbert." who knows he may get his own show on court tv as a commentary for all the muck that is going to drag on for years staring all his buddies. think of all the really cool inside jokes he could add, he could even take a whimsical satire approach and pretend he is actually a progressive trying to fit into a orwellian society.

just listening to tony snow obfuscate, over and over again, is exhausting, and frankly, annoying as all get out.

What a smarmy, condescending piece of trash. If he's going to joke about the seriousness of the subpoenas, and feign incredulity that a reputable news organization like CNN would lower their standards by quoting Paul Begala, then I'd say Snow is 'fair game'. When is someone at the presser going to ask him, "So Tony, given your record of bald-faced lies, dissembling, belittling Democrats, and being an accomplice to a conspiracy to defraud the United States, why should we believe anything you say?" I bet that would wipe that shit-eating grin off his face. Since he's 'fair game', I feel free to make fun of his cancer, but because I have my own soul to worry about, I'll decline, for now.

If it can't be discussed publicly, then why didn't Gonzales and Mueller say something like "I think we need to discuss that in a closed session."?

[deleted--What? Are you trying to get quoted on the O'Reilly Factor? Don't wish violence on anyone on this site]

Tony Snow is a pig scum traitor who lies for these criminals while our constitution is trashed. [deleted--do not advocate violence on this site. Ever.]

Well come on now, have a little sympathy for Tony Snow.

After all not he nor Al Copone could spin or lie this Administrations activities into anything coherent.

And to have to explain down right stupiditis on a grand level is much more difficult than just simply telling the truth. Hell, Tony thinks spinning and obsucating the truth of the business of the American people is what his job is. And Tony has a tough time because he realy didn't spend enough time on radio and taking calls for Rush Limbaugh. Then Tony in his condition is willing to say anything to keep his health care now won't he. A republican earning money from the Government. Really

If Mrs Ashcroft was in the room with Gonzo and Andy Card. Why is it top secret to discuss. Because they discussed their top secret business in front of Mrs Ashcroft and she has no clearance................

Congress should bring in Mrs Ashcroft and ask her. Let the President claim exec priviledge for her too.

I feel like I'm watching a used car dealer explain why my supposedly mint condition 2006 BMW 740 has the engine of a 1972 Pacer. Just seeing his face makes me want to puke on him. I'm talking about the projectile kind of vomit you see in Monty Python's Meaning of Life. Seriously, just spew a constant stream of chunks all over his lying face for a minute or two.

After surviving a life threating illness, anyone with a soul wouldn't be able to do what Snowjob does.

What a legacy to leave to your family. Tony Snow the defender of the most incompetent, disgraceful and despicable administration in history. He's a combination of Tokyo Rose and Baghdad Bob. What will his children and grand children think 20 years from now when they read about the history of this regime and how Tony's dying breaths were spent telling lies and shilling for these cretins.

Tony is truly one evil bastard puppet, just like his puppet masters.

Mike @ 6:

Why don't they ever do a "Reality Check" lead-in video for these guys?

Forget lead in, why can't they fact check while the guest is speaking? Have a few staffers right there with access to legal docs on line & post them all during the interview,...

I wish I could be as delusional as Snow or Bill O,...

just die of cancer already, snowjob !

oh i tink dis one works fo papa bear... how cute

With bush 'approval' at 25% (the 25% at the bottom of the barrel that is, was, and ever shall be there) Snow and the rest are defending a bag of shit heaped on everyone's doorstep. Defending that like it or not, we should all welcome having our neighborhoods sprayed heavily with bags of poison. You say we should Submit to being shaken by the ankles as everything we know as reason and being left in peace and not hating you defend is obsolete, deleted, irrelevant. Here, have some poison. Gee, thanks Tony!
Really, Tony, in the face of your own death it's a human thing to stop the bullshit, especially bullshit as lethal as the one you're promoting. Your kids will go mad. Baaaad karma, pal.

Wolf is a sad, sad little man. I don't know whether he is stupid, a right wing tool, or too lazy to keep himself informed, any of which allows people like Tony Snow to use and abuse him.
It was disgusting watching him literally cower before Snow, carefully qualifying his questions with phrases like "some Democrats say . . . " so that (God forbid!) Tony wouldn't think that Wolf really believed what the Dems were saying. ("I'm not saying this Tony. It's those Democrats. We're still friends aren't we? Gee, you look great!") Snowjob and Blowjob.

Good job on ya Tony. Paid professional bullshitter for warmongering traitorous assholes.
You must feel good about yourself at days end. Any self respecting cancer cell would have vacated your slimey ass long ago pal. I doubt ,many are buying your "Dems are big bad meanies " bullshit anymore. You worthless sack of lying festering shit !

Y'all are all hat and no cattle. Why do you want to know the details about a secret spying program that catches terrorists that are trying to blow us up? What's the matter with y'all? ...unless you have something to fear, of course.

Sorry you bought the farm. don't look now but you're buying pro-pa-gan-da. The spying program is an "information mining project" designed by the terr-ists in the whitehouse to keep track of you, your medical information, whether you're making too much money, what church you go to, where you're going on the internet, what credit cards you have and what your address and phone number is.
Next you'll be asked to get in line to have your "ID chip" injected under your skin so you can be tracked like an animal 24/7!
Sound like fun???
Sweetheart, the biggest Terrorists of all are in the Whitehouse.
Read l984 by George Orwell.

What if they gave a Faux/White House Press Conference and no one came?

When you know the speaker will do absolutely nothing
but lie, and spread disinformation, why on Earth would
you watch the dam thing? Just to have your intelligence
insulted yet again? Unless you enjoy what amounts to
a verbal assault on the truth, watching him is a total
waste of time and personal resources.

DAAAAAAMN! Snowjob is looking real bad. He needs to lay off the spin. His body can't fight cancer AND pure evil at the same time.

The high price of stress!

You think it's easy to lie on a continual basis?

Honestly, I'll always try to support any living creature with such life force as Tony Snow and Elizabeth Edwards -- but has the man completely lost his ability to even think anymore?

Perhaps he just needs to go away and convalesce for a while, for the sake of his own physical, if not mental health..

crazylove @137

Please name one citizen (not a terrorist) who has been targeted by these programs. Also check skull for the chip they implanted while you were sleeping. 1984? I got to the part about Newspeak and saw the parallels between liberal PC and Hate speech and I got your point. Thank you.

Jeez! I thought that was Max Headroom's picture at the top! Hardly appropriate, since he was irreverent and snarky - no obfuscatory like Snow-job!

Max Headroom, holy crap. You nailed this one down for me, Naomi, lol

I thought it was Ted Danson.

bush new where to go to get a spokemen that will lie FOX NEWS.

[...] the puppies continue to chase their tales over the Gonzales issue, Captain’s Quarters reports on the White House hosted bloggers [...]

If the MSM were not owned by the same folks who own the White House inmates, that is, if it were really interested in announcing news, it would boycott White House press conferences and:

1. Either report the real news, or

2. Make up it's own version of the news, just as the White House does, but it would be more fun, because it would be less predictable.

What a fucking retard. Are you really that stupid or are you faking? I've heard of people like you, and seen some of your blather on other blogs, I've never been this close to something so mindless before.

Screw reading it. That is a bad trip that takes days. Rent it and freak yourself out. You will see, first hand, what torture is all about. The standing cheering mindless masses, just like drool boy above. That is a freaked out movie that should have been called 2004.

What a trip..I wasn't sure Scruzman was for real, um, relatively speaking. I will rent that for sure. Read 1984 when I was 17. Anyway, thought I needed to address Scruz in elementary terms..guess I was right, ay?
