Poor Tony Snow Is Out of Cash

One is almost tempted to feel a bit sorry for the president's spokes-liar, Tony Snow. After all, he is in a fight for his life, suffering from recurring cancer, and no one deserves that. Still when he says he's not going to stay with the Bush Administration to the end of Bush's term because of financial reasons, it's hard to feel a whole lot of sympathy for him.

For Pete's sake, Tony, you pull down $168K per year, with a sweet benefits package that I'm guessing completely covers your cancer treatments. Most Americans would jump at a deal like that, but you're crying "poor." It's unbecoming and in bad taste, particularly since real wages for most Americans have fallen dramatically during your boss's reign.

For sure, Snow made a lot more money when he did his lying over at Faux News, and tons of cash await him on the rubber chicken circuit, but it stinks of elitism for a man in his position by be playing the poverty card. Kind of goes to show just out of touch with every-day Americans this bunch is.
