I'm mostly happy with President Bush's appointment of Snow as White House Press Secretary. I think he'll do a great job. I say "mostly" because I'm going to miss hearing Tony's own opinions on things while he's in this job. But he speaks for the President now, so that's that.
I'm expecting that some fuss is going to erupt pretty soon over this. Maybe I shouldn't even bring it up, but I see that it's already percolating at a low level, so it's just a matter of time.
I just have one request. If you're going to judge Tony Snow on the basis of this essay, please read it first. And pay attention to the content. Not to which wacko websites may have picked it up and published it and not to the knee-jerk responses that it's gotten in both far right-wing and left-wing circles. It's a thoughtful piece and, while there have been attacks on Kwanza with racist overtones (no link intended), this is not one of them.
