Tony Snow, the White House Press Secretary said Friday that he plans on leaving before President Bush finishes his term in office. When he does depart, Snow will join the long list of names who have resigned from the Bush administration, among the most recent are: Karl Rove, Dan Bartlett, and Andrew Card. Now while we have heard the typical excuse, "the leaving to spend more time with my family", from many whom have left the White House, Tony Snow's answer must take the cake:
"I will not be able to make it to the end of this administration, just financially."
What exactly does he mean, financially? As Press Secretary, Snow makes $168,000 a year and made even more money when he was a pundit on Fox News Radio. Does he know how many people would kill to make that much money, and he thinks he can't make it financially??? I find that response to just be so damn insulting. There are people who are homeless and can't get a job, and Snow is complaining about not being able to make it financially with $168,000? And there is no doubt that Snow also has a ton saved up from when he was a conservative pundit. On a side not though, I am glad to see him go, but saddened at his excuse. Can't the White House come up with some type of a reason for all these resignations that is believable? But then again, I guess not, this is the George Dubya Bush administration and reason is the furthest thing from their brains.
