"I have given it my all sir and I have given you my all sir, and I will continue to do so as we transition to a new press secretary," McClellan said. He's expected to remain on the job until his replacement is named.Appointing Snow to this position would be a sensible move for two reasons: (1) FoxNews has been the de facto press secretary for the Bush Regime since George W. was appointed to the White House in 2000, so why not formalize this arrangement; and (2) Snow and the rest of the folks at FoxNews are accomplished liars as well as experts at disseminating extremist propaganda. McClelland was never much of a liar.
CNN has learned from multiple Republican sources that new White House chief of staff Josh Bolten reached out to Fox News anchor Tony Snow several weeks ago at the White House. Snow, who was a speechwriter for former President George H.W. Bush, had no comment on the story.
