"I will not be able to make it to the end of this administration, just financially."
These are the words of explanation from cancer patient and current White House Press Secretary Tony Snow on the subject of his decision to resign his post before the end of George W. Bush's term in January of 2009.
Oh, that's what this quote was referring to. Could you repeat that for me, please?
"I will not be able to make it to the end of this administration, just financially."
Ohhhhhh, ok, I get it. The $168,000 per year job just can't cover 'dem medical bills, eh, Tony?
Yeah, only an elitist former Faux News Bushie -- or an NBA star, of course (see Latrell Sprewell) -- would have the nerve to claim that $168,000 per year isn't sufficient income. Please. Granted, $168,000 a year wouldn't be enough money for me to ease my conscience into habitually lying on behalf of the assholes for whom this guy works, but I have not seen any evidence indicating that Mr. Snow has any kind of moral objection to lying as much as he does on behalf of his bosses. The only thing we are left to assume, then, is that $168,000 a year just isn't enough for this guy to rent that summer home in Kennebunkport. Or that he somehow doesn't have medical insurance. Or that he hadn't save a penny from his spin-doctoring days at Faux News, where he was paid at least double per year to do essentially the same bullshit thing he does now. Yeah, cry me a river, dickface. Now Mr. Snow can go back to the private sector and be more richly rewarded for doing what he has been doing the last couple of years with such effortlessness and arrogance: deceiving the American public on any and every important political situation, which is what he was doing for Faux News before he joined the Bush Monarchy, uh, Administration anyway.
If you really think you can endure the entire story, here's the link:
Funny how unobjective the news can be, huh? I mean, wouldn't the headline "Another Rat Leaves the Sinking Ship" been more truthful?
