A Fair and Balanced Human Punching Bag

I, for one, am thrilled to see Fox Commentator and ultra conservative Tony Snow replace Scott McClellan as the White House Press Secretary. For one, we all know that with a President whose poll numbers are hovering in the low 30s, the Press Secretary is essentially someone who exists to take regular beatings for his Master's Sake.

Beyond that, it puts a rather large nail in the "Fair and Balanced" coffin of Fox News, which has now served as a recruiting pool for the White House's own staff. You don't get that job if you're, shall we say, objective.

For a few thoughts about what Tony Snow will face, enjoy this little write-up from Media Matters.
