Hmmm. Snow's Townhall.com article byline has now been replaced with Tony Blankley's.

What a hoot!

Why sure -- the mistake is simple -- one Tony was confused for the other.

OK. Seriously, Snow is everything that McClellan and Fleischer were not: friendly, handsome, affable, smooth, resonant, self-effacing, etc etc.

But the fact remains: he won't be able to change the President's actual, you know, policies.

P.S. Isn't this the first time a pundit and talk-show host has held this position? Is this necessarily a bad thing? Could we stop it if it was?

Lastly: whoever holds the job -- when are they going to give the guy a laptop and a copy of Powerpoint?

Check your link, that was Tony Blankley.
I had read that column this morning in the Wash Times and thought I had misremembered who wrote it, but they updated the Townhall link to note that it was Blankley and not Snow who had written it.

Ted:

...take a hatchet to their computer.

I'm with you, pal. But as bad as Powerpoint is, it's still better than the tap-dancing most of these guys do with information that is very complex.

In short: let's bring them into the 20th century.

P.S. There is a really great free ebook out there called Really Bad Powerpoint (and How To Avoid It). It's a concise summary of why Powerpoint presos are so bad and what you can do to fix that for yourself. I recommend it highly -- for Tony Snow too.

Actually, my Powerpoint presentations are awesome, or so I'm told (ahem). Then again, they're mostly highly technical in nature, and I've had graphics arts training, so that helps.
