Why don't you tell us what you really think, Tony?

Some of Tony Snow's rants.

Bush has "lost control of the federal budget and cannot resist the
temptation to stop raiding the public fisc." [3/17/06]

"George W. Bush and his colleagues have become not merely the custodians of
the largest government in the history of humankind, but also exponents of
its vigorous expansion." [3/17/06]

"President Bush distilled the essence of his presidency in this year’s
State of the Union Address: brilliant foreign policy and listless domestic
policy." [2/3/06]

– “"Bush "has a habit of singing from the Political Correctness hymnal."
[10/7/05]

"No president has looked this impotent this long when it comes to defending
presidential powers and prerogatives." [9/30/05]

Bush "has given the impression that [he] is more eager to please than lead,
and that political opponents can get their way if they simply dig in their
heels and behave like petulant trust-fund brats, demanding money and favor
— now!" [9/30/05]

"When it comes to federal spending, George W. Bush is the boy who can’t say
no. In each of his three years at the helm, the president has warned
Congress to restrain its spending appetites, but so far nobody has pushed
away from the table mainly because the president doesn’t seem to mean what
he says." [The Detroit News, 12/28/03]

"The president doesn’t seem to give a rip about spending restraint." [The
Detroit News, 12/28/03]

"Bush, for all his personal appeal, ultimately bolstered his detractors’
claims that he didn’t have the drive and work ethic to succeed." [11/16/00]

"Little in the character of demeanor of Al Gore or George Bush makes us say to
ourselves: Now, this man is truly special! Little in our present peace and
prosperity impels us to say: Give us a great man!" [8/25/00]

"George W. Bush, meanwhile, talks of a pillowy America, full of niceness
and goodwill. Bush has inherited his mother’s attractive feistiness, but he
also got his father’s syntax. At one point last week, he stunned a friendly
audience by barking out absurd and inappropriate words, like a soul
tortured with Tourette’s." [8/25/00]

– “"Congressional Budget Office economic forecasts, but his recitation of
numbers proved so bewildering that not even his aides could produce a
comprehensible translation. The English Language has become a minefield for
the man, whose malaprops make him the political heir not of Ronald Reagan,
but Norm Crosby." [8/25/00]

"On the policy side, he has become a classical dime-store Democrat. He
gladly will shovel money into programs that enjoy undeserved prestige, such
as Head Start. He seems to consider it mean-spirited to shut down programs
that rip-off taxpayers and mislead supposed beneficiaries." [8/25/00]
