Yet another rat flees the ship

Tony Snow, the Fox "news" propagandist that was the latest Bush spokesperson to leave, was refreshingly honest. After his tenure of dancing around questions, avoiding answers, and regurgitating idealistic talking points, Tony simply said that he's going to cash in on fame that being White House press secretary has given him - and make more money in the private sector.

To let you know how far removed from reality his values are - his job paid around $170,000 - and Snow claims that he had to take out a loan to survive on that pittance. This, coming from the administration that fought tooth and nail to prevent the minimum wage from increasing from $5.15 an hour.

Snow is also battling cancer, so like most liberals that actually value life (rather than just throw out sound bites to that effect), I wish him a full recovery.
