Bush Names Talk Show Host Press Secretary

WASHINGTON -- To the surprise of no one, President Bush named conservative commentator Tony Snow as his press secretary today to replace Scott McClellan, who announced his resignation last week.

"Tony already knows most of you," Bush, with tongue in cheek, told reporters in the White House briefing room, "and he's agreed to take the job anyway." Bush said of Snow, "He's man of courage. He's a man of integrity. He loves his family."

Snow becomes White House spokesman at a time when Bush's standing in the public opinion polls, buffeted by the war in Iraq and more recently by the soaring price of oil, stands at the low point of his presidency. Snow's job will not be to change the administration's policies, but to present them in the most favorable light.

Bush acknowledged that Snow had sometimes disagreed with him as host of a Fox Radio talk show. "I asked him about those comments," the president said, "and he said, 'You should have heard what I said about the other guy."

Bush said his new press secretary understood the importance of the relationship between the government and those whose job it is to cover it.

Snow, 50, was a speechwriter in the White House of Bush's father. Before moving to Fox News on both television and radio, he worked for a number of newspapers.

He also wrote editorials for the Washington Times, the conservative paper started three decades ago by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon as an alternative to the Washington Post.
