Yes, That's It. I Don't Care

A lot of people are really worked up about Snow becoming Bush's press secretary.

I'm not.

Yes, Snow is a creationist (or possibly an ID supporter, it's a bit unclear). Yes, he's very much an administration shill and lapdog, or has been so far on Fox - which, only to be expected, right?

And that's the point. This is Bush's press secretary we're talking about. Bush himself is on record as supporting the teaching of ID - which means he supports ID, if not outright, possibly even Young Earth, Creationism. Bush is anti-science.

Bush is.

Who did anyone think he would appoint as his mouthpiece? Someone who didn't agree with him? Who do we think he is - Isaac Jaffee? Please.

And even if he had, how much would that person have been allowed to say that wasn't the White House line? That's the job, isn't it?

I can't get worked up about Tony Snow. He's not important enough to get worked up about. At most, he's a distraction, and he's probably not even important enough to be called that.

I mentioned this in comments on a couple of blogs, but mainly ... meh. Like these folks, I decided to not care (yes, I split the infinitive: I decided explicitly to not care) about Tony Snow. There's other stuff to care about, after all.
