Another Snow Job? FOX News Pundit Hired as White House Press Secretary

In what can best be described as a laterial move, FOX News commentator Tony Snow will replace Scott McClellan as White House Press Secretary. The conservative pundit's selection was officially announced today.

Snow was asked about the position earlier in the week, but declined to say whether he had been offered the White House job. The Associated Press reports: "Republicans close to the White House said the press secretary's job had been offered to Snow and that he had accepted. They spoke on condition of anonymity because of Bush's dislike of news leaks."
