Tony Snow to the rescue again!
Airforce One was en route to Pensacola, Florida where President Bush planned to campaign for gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist, who decided to "no show." However, Snow said that the White House didn't consider Crist's actions a "snub," since he "says he wants to go around and go for votes around the state," while the president visits.
This guy was handpicked to be Jeb's successor, and he decides to "work for votes" when Jeb and Dubya pay a visit? There's something fishy going on there. Honestly, Tony expects everyone to believe that this was purely coincidental? It's obvious that Crist used them to get his place, and now he's done with them.
And here's Tony being so cute and glib, that I just want to pinch his cheeks until they turn purple:
Then a journalist asked, "Is the President going to be able to work with a speaker Nancy Pelosi if one comes to be, given some of the back-and-forth that's happened so far between the parties this midterm?"
"Nice try," Snow responded.
The reporter protested, "It's a legitimate question."
"You can ask questions about the House Speaker on Wednesday," Snow retorted before moving on to the next reporter.
And as expected, Katherine Harris rears her ugly head into the conversation:
Another journalist asked if Bush was "excited to campaign with Katherine Harris today," the Republican candidate for the Senate who would be joining the president and his brother, Governor Jeb Bush, in Pensacola.
"He wants Republican candidates to win," Snow said.
The Bush Administration has largely stayed away from Harris this season, and even backed other candidates in the Republican primary she ending up winning this summer. Governor Bush had said that Harris wouldn't be able to win earlier this year.
Wow, what a way to skirt around that question, Tony! Such a non-answer, too!
And here's the guy who was hired because he could handle the media. It's pretty obvious he can handle them alright -- by pretending to listen and answer.
