I want my SnowTV!

By Creature

The White House press room is getting an extreme makeover. Part of the makeover will be a grand video wall ready to tug at our patriotic heartstrings with "flags waving in the breeze." Tony Snow, proving a breeze in the White House briefing room can be generated by his big mouth alone, had this to add:

"It's simply a necessary response to a news environment where you have players in all quarters 24 hours a day," Mr. Snow says. "If you're in government ... your key challenge [is] to make sure you get your message out."

No, Mr. Snow, when you're in government ... your key challenge is to govern, and govern competently. Your message, your spin, your distortion of reality, should be left to those not on the taxpayers payroll.

The image over substance presidency continues.
