Today’s Tony Snow Moment
April 30, 2007 at 3:38 pm
From today’s White House press gaggle with press secretary Tony Snow:
Q Two questions, Tony. Do you, as presidential press secretary, believe that The Washington Post, in its two extensive stories, gave too much coverage to Deputy Secretary of State Randall Tobias or not?
Q Dana, do you want to take this one? (Laughter.)
MR. SNOW: Les, I am here to speak for the President, and I guarantee you he is not going to have an opinion, either. The Washington Post can — has its own editorial judgment, and we will let it stand.
Q Follow up on that. Ambassador Tobias –
MR. SNOW: You’re going to follow up on the question I didn’t answer. (Laughter.)
Q Yes. Ambassador Tobias –
Q Good to have you back. (Laughter.)
Q — told ABC News that he used Deborah Palfrey’s escort service for massages, not sex. Do you believe that many, or any American citizens believe that?
MR. SNOW: I don’t know. Look, the guy — I’ve told you what I’m going to say. We’re saddened, and he resigned, and it was the proper thing to do.
