Hey, Antonio Nueves! Your servicios are needed.

This is how Tony Snow, Fox News guy and brand new White House mouthpiece, elegantly made Cheney into the victim after he shot a 78-year-old man in the face back in February. According to Snow, the real culprit was the Press:

"Political hacks and members of the press forgot the importance of behaving as human beings, rather than velociraptors. When people leap to exploit misery, they create sympathy for the miserable. Meanwhile, the news media must be careful not to become the Noise Media. In this case, some reporters, openly gleeful about Cheney's predicament, became unwittingly Shakespearean - fools telling tales, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing"

When its not dealing with Cheney's drunken hunting accidents, the Bush Administration is finding other ways to shoot itself in the foot. Former foot-in-mouthpiece McClellan had said that anyone responsible for leaking classified information would "no longer work in this administration". When it turned out Bush was the one who authorized the leak, Bush was technically supposed to fire himself. Of course that didn't happen, although McClellan got the pink-slip. Now they need a new voice who won't make promises to the Press like that ever again. They need a devout Bushie who, rather than answering questions, will ask the Press Corps to look within and see who they really are: not defenders of freedom of speech, truth and democracy, but small, pack-hunting dinosaurs. Enter Tony Snow, or as Bush likes to call him: Antonio Nueves (I believe Bush was intending to say Antonio Nieve, or Tony Snow en espanol). Nonetheless, this Zorro-like defender of the Bush Adminstration and Fox News veteran should be prove to be an interesting Press Secretary. I just can't wait for someone else to get shot.
